REAL WEDDINGS

Modern Devotion

Robin + Dylan

Venue 808

An urban love story was always in the cards for Robin and Dylan. Their “meet-cute” moment under the dazzling lights of Las Vegas, followed by a first true date in downtown San Diego, set the vibe for a stunning city wedding. The couple inevitably chose Venue 808—modern, moody, and romantic.

Rich textures of brick, wood, and metal blended harmoniously with the warmth of candlelight and wispy white florals, joyfully curated by Region Design Studio. A grove of textured olive trees adorned with twinkling fairy lights stood like honored guests at the celebration.

She wore a satin fitted dress with elegant pearl beading and a floor-length veil. He wore a timeless black tux. Bridesmaids complemented the theme in sage green, and their beloved goldendoodle made a dapper appearance on the cocktail napkins. In a display of tradition and reverence, the couple’s grandparents set down the aisle first, followed by their parents; both paving the way for the next generation of commitment and love. Vows were exchanged in the venue’s wooden farmhouse chapel, ending with a perfectly timed dip down the candlelit cobblestone aisle.

Robin and Dylan radiated effortless joy and a playful spirit. Their wedding ethos of “having fun and bringing people together” ran through every detail and thoughtful event flow, organized alongside Urthy Girl Events. Long wooden banquet tables lined with white linen runners were topped with French-inspired champagne coupes and white roses in elegant vases. Above the head table, a vibrant neon sign proudly illuminated their shared last name, adding a modern touch to the classic romance of the day.

The celebration was filled with unforgettable moments, from guests dancing the worm under glow sticks to indulging in churros and other sweet treats. A tower of champagne glasses overflowed with bubbly, ensuring everyone had a taste of merriment. With a speakeasy tucked in its back pocket, Venue 808 played its last card of the night, topping off an unforgettable celebration between family and friends, old and new.
