Story

Kate and Nick first met in San Francisco on a scorching hot Saturday watching college football with a big group of friends. The link connecting them that day was Nick's cousin/Kate's college roommate Meghan, but their story actually started years before.

Neither Nick nor Kate had any clue about the multiple connections they shared. Kate met Nick's parents multiple times while dropping off Meghan in Iowa for Thanksgiving, and she had stayed in Iowa City multiple times just a couple houses down from Nick's college home. Nick had always heard about Meghan's college friends, but had no idea he would have so much in common with Kate.

Despite never meeting in Iowa, once in San Francisco they wasted no time. The two met only days after Kate moved to town, kicking off the best 6+ years either could imagine. They've built wonderful lives in San Francisco, living in multiple neighborhoods before scoring a great spot together near Dolores Park, making wonderful friends, raising their dog George, and exploring every chance they get.

Now, with family and friends spread all over the country, Nick & Kate couldn't be more excited to welcome everyone to San Francisco to celebrate together.

Lodge at The Presidio

The Lodge at The Presidio is a 2-3 minute walk from our venue and is located in a beautiful area to relax, hike, and enjoy views of the Golden Gate Bridge.

This is a great splurge as it is a gorgeous hotel, but a bit on the pricier end. The Lodge does not offer room blocks.
