How did we end up here?

Friendship first, forever always

Kate and Nathan met in 2019, spent way too much time online together while they were stuck inside during COVID quaran-times, and discovered a steady friendship in an uncertain world. What followed was a love that grew naturally, and now, a reason to celebrate!

The Wedding Website of Kate Olsen and Nathan Platte
Our wedding will take place at Starved Rock Lodge, located within Starved Rock State Park in Oglesby. The lodge is set inside the park, surrounded by trails, canyons, and some truly beautiful scenery - perfect if you'd like to make a weekend of it! Because availability is limited, and this is a holiday weekend in a popular state park, we strongly encourage booking accommodations as early as possible. If you’re hoping to stay at the lodge, we recommend booking right away once your plans are confirmed. See below for more details.
