Nikki Ihnatisin - Maid of Honor

Bridget and Nikki have been friends since elementary school and were college roommates at Illinois State University. Though Nikki now lives in Arizona, distance has never mattered. From Chicago to Arizona to Paris and Iceland, they’re always finding new places to make memories together, and she’s honored to have Nikki as her Maid of Honor.

Matt Wenzel - Best Man

Only two years apart, Pete and Matt grew up close, spending countless hours playing with neighborhood friends and going on summer trips to Green Lake, WI. Whether it’s cheering on the Chicago Fire and Cubs, camping, or talking Lord of the Rings, they’ve always shared the same interests. It means a lot to Pete to have Matt serving as his Best Man.

Things to Do

Camp Kettlewood is a truly special place that we fell in love with right away. For over 50 years this land was home to a Girl Scouts camp where generations made memories in the woods. After its closure, the property was lovingly reimagined as a glamping campground, preserving the original Girl Scout cabins while adding vintage trailers and luxury canvas tents. Designed to bring people into nature while making camping easy and comfortable, Camp Kettlewood blends history, charm, and modern amenities. When we learned that this space also hosts weddings, we knew it was the perfect fit for us. Our love of camping, the outdoors, and spending unplugged time with the people we love is one of the many reasons we chose Camp Kettlewood as our venue. We hope you love it as much as we do.
