Days worth remembering.
Every detail was handled. We simply arrived, and the day unfolded — the most beautiful night of my sister's engagement weekend.
Front-row seats to the entire Chicago skyline for my wife's birthday. Vertex made an ordinary Wednesday feel like the most important night of the year.
