The exclusive package -- priced at $1,000 per couple -- includes a private

guided tour through the Empire State Building's immersive exhibits, which

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."

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
