Empire State Building Introduces 'Happily Ever Empire' Engagement Package For Unforgettable Proposals On Its Iconic 86th Floor Observatory
Guests can now pop the question and toast to their "yes!" at the top of the World's Most Romantic Building
NEW YORK, Oct. 18, 2021 /CNW/ -- Today, the Empire State Building (ESB) launched 'Happily Ever Empire' – an unforgettable proposal package that provides couples with VIP access to the Observatory Experience. Ticket holders are invited to pop the question at a prime, dedicated corner of the building's iconic, open-air 86th Floor Observatory and pop a bottle of Champagne to celebrate the memorable moment.
The exclusive package – priced at $1,000 per couple – includes a private guided tour through the Empire State Building's immersive exhibits, which feature the building's history and the classic love stories that have taken place within. After couples have celebrated their engagement on the world-famous 86th Floor Observatory, they're invited to head up to the 102nd Floor Observatory, with its floor-to-ceiling windows for breathtaking photos with stunning 360-degree views.
"There is no better place to celebrate love than the World's Most Romantic Building," said Jean-Yves Ghazi, president of the Empire State Building Observatory. "The Empire State Building has played host to so many love stories in its history, and we are delighted to now offer an exclusive, romantic, and customizable proposal experience for couples from around the world."
The Empire State Building's Observatory Experience recently underwent a top-to-bottom overhaul that includes a dedicated guest entrance, a 10 thousand square foot digital and tactile museum that celebrates the icon from the moment it was conceived to its current place in pop-culture, and the completely re-imagined 102nd Floor Observatory. The renovations also include industry-leading indoor environmental quality (IEQ) improvements such as active bi-polar ionization, MERV 13 filters, and increased ventilation which led to the building's achievement as the first in the Americas to receive the WELL Health-Safety Rating.
