Top Of The Tower
99th Floor Banquet Room
On April 16th Jace and I plan to celebrate our wedding with family and friends at the
Sears Tower. Possibly the highest place to have a wedding reception, the Top Of The Tower room occupies the entire 99th floor.
The room has 360 degree windows with views of Lake Michigan, the skyline of Michigan Avenue including the John Hancock
Tower, Grant Park (including the new Millenium Park), Soldier Field and miles of city lights in all directions.
Entrance for the event will be at the Franklin Street
entrance. Parking is available (at downtown Chicago rates $$) in several nearby parking garages. We recommend taking a
cab, train or bus to the Sears Tower.
