There aren't enough words or stars to say how highly we recommend this venue! My daughter's wedding here was a dream come true. The venue and staff exceeded every expectation.

Katie Vieira, the venue coordinator, is a gem. It was such a pleasure working her! Through the entire year of planning, she answered every question and request we had promptly, efficiently, and cheerfully.

The venue space was so unique and beautiful. I lost count of how many guests said it was the most gorgeous wedding they've ever attended.

We couldn't have been happier with our experience!

We got married in Venue 808 on August and it was the best decision we could have made for our wedding. The venue itself is stunning, spacious, and truly perfect for a wedding. We had around 140 people and both our bridal party and groomsmen got ready in the private bridal/groomsmen suites. The catering for Venue 808, Social Tap, is nothing short of the amazing. The food and drinks were incredible, and our guests loved the welcome drinks, tray passed appetizers, charcuterie board, and late night snacks. The Venue 808 team is friendly, flexible, and super responsive. 10/10 would recommend Venue 808, particularly if you have a large wedding!

My partner and I got married at Venue 808 in August 2022 and absolutely loved the venue! It’s the perfect combination of industrial and modern but unique and unlike the typical warehouse spaces you might find elsewhere. It’s also perfectly set up so that your wedding will flow seamlessly from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner and dancing without a big effort to turn over the space or inconvenience your guests. Having our ceremony in the chapel and moving right into cocktail hour by the bar was probably one of the smoothest transitions I’ve experienced at a wedding. The cocktail hour space could not have been better with ample seating which is hard to find at most venues. I think one of our favorite parts was the big reveal of our reception area when they pulled back the curtains for guests to see all the tables perfectly set and waiting for them. It was definitely an “Oh wow!” moment!

For our wedding, we decided to activate the speakeasy and handed our special tokens for our guests to use to enter - we received so many compliments about the fun experience! Our guests loved how the speakeasy tasting was personalized based on their tastes and they also learned a lot about the types of liquor they were drinking from the extremely knowledgeable bartender. Overall, our guests could not stop talking about how cool the space was and we were so glad that we got to get married in such a unique spot! The central location is extremely convenient if you’re hosting out of town guests as the venue is within walking distance to a number of hotels of all price ranges - just be sure to check the Padres schedule as the area can get congested if there are any baseball games or events happening across the way at Petco Park.

After losing our other venue to a foreclosure 3 weeks before the wedding, Venue 808 really came through for us. Brant, Jake, and Zack were all attentive, answered every question, and ensured we had an amazing night. I loved how big the space was even with only 65 people; we had plenty room to spread out and had separate spaces for ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and dancing. Social Tap was required for catering, but the food they served was incredible and guests said it was some of the best food they have had at a wedding. Thank you for making our day so special!
