Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Ben Bongers and Hannah Chudy
Bakersfield is known as the "Nashville of the West". There's a rich history in country music (home to Merle Haggard & Buck Owens), Basque culture, agriculture, and more! Come celebrate with us in the "big city with a small town feel". It's also just a hop, skip, and jump away from the beach or mountains!
Buck Owens' Crystal Palace

Buck Owens' Crystal Palace

2800 Buck Owens Boulevard, Bakersfield, CA 93308

A fun place to hear live music and line dance! Also know for their delicious chicken fried steak.

If you get the chance, drive up the Kern River Canyon and check out the fall foliage! Then you can stop at The Kern River Brewing Co. on your way back for some lunch and a beer. One of Ben and Hannah's favorite spots!

Luigi's has been a longtime Chudy-family-favorite! Tons of amazing Italian dishes and specials to choose from. There's a reason why there's always a line out the door! Don't forget to order a slice of butterfinger pie!

Dewar's Candy Shop

Dewar's has the best peppermint ice cream and taffy around. They have had shops in Bakersfield since 1909!

Wool Growers Restaurant

620 East 19th Street, Bakersfield, CA 93305

Wool Growers is a traditional Basque restaurant in downtown Bakersfield. It's a staple in the community and has a fun atmosphere! Make sure to try to some pickled tongue while you're there! It's pretty common to either start or end at Pyrenee's Cafe (another Basque favorite) if you're going to Wool Growers and really want to feel like a local. :)

Seven Oaks Country Club

Seven Oaks Country Club

2000 Grand Lakes Avenue, Bakersfield, CA 93311
