The Wedding Website of Kristen Benson and Charles Bannister
Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

If you are traveling from out of the country, we suggest flying in on Wednesday of that week so you can explore downtown Chicago before the wedding weekend. You could stay the night or two downtown but we suggest staying locally in Crystal Lake on the night of the wedding.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

We are saying no registry as people are traveling from far and wide to be here with us. Your presence is the present!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The ceremony and reception is being held outside of Kristen's childhood home. The attire is casual, summery but comfortable. We'd recommend if you are wearing heels, to wear a chunkier heel to not sink into the grass! The weather in June is usually pretty nice but bring a light jacket just in case.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

YES! Absolutely.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

See travel page!

Question

Where can I park?

Answer

Parking will be limited for the ceremony. We highly recommend Uber or getting dropped off. There isn't really street parking in the neighborhood.
