If you have a question that isn't answered here, let us know! Someone else may be wondering the exact same thing...
what should I wear? do i need a tux/floor-length gown?
You'll probably get a different dress code description depending on what site you visit. We want you to feel comfortable, look good, and most importantly, enjoy the night! For women, think cocktail-style dresses, jumpsuits, or even separates are appropriate. Prints and brighter colors are welcome, this is still a summer celebration! We request that you please do not wear white. For men, a suit or button-down with slacks is perfect, throw in a tie, bowtie, or suspenders if you please. The groomsmen's color is green and the bridal party's is pink should you choose to avoid these colors, but it is not required.
​
what if I have dietary restrictions?
We want everyone to be happy with their dinner! If you have any restrictions, please let us know along with your RSVP so we can inform our caterer.
what about my shoes?
The ceremony and reception all take place on hard floors/concrete, so no worries about sinking in the mud or getting them too dirty.
do I get a plus one?
Your formal invitation will indicate if you have a plus one or not, please keep an eye out for that.
I haven't recieved an invitation?
If you received a save the date but not an invitation come June, please let us know! Never know what may get lost in the mail.
how will I get from the hotel to the venue?
We HIGHLY encourage everyone to take the scheduled shuttles we will have from the hotel to the venue! They will also being doing return trips to the hotel when the reception is over so everyone can have a fun, stress-free night.
is there a wedding hashtag?
There absolutely is, please tag any photos posted over the weekend with #benannafunday so we see them all!
what about the rest of the weekend?
Keep checking back, there will be plans on Saturday and Sunday for all the invitees to partake in. This website will be updated as details are finalized, and we will ensure everyone is kept up to date.
is it safe to be in Chicago?
The short answer to this is yes, as long as you take basic safety measures you may take in any city. Chicago may be portrayed in a less-than-stellar light, but the city's crime is largely dependent on location. Most of the violent crime seen on the news takes place in the south side of the city. One should always be careful when out and about in a big city. To put it into perspective though, cities like Milwaukee and Alberquerque have a higher crime rate than Chicago, which is usually pretty close to Cleveland if you're looking at a ranked crime rate list by city.
