  • Steve Juvertson, who stepped down from the boards of Tesla and SpaceX as well as his partner position at venture capital firm DFJ over sex harassment, was there
  • There was a cocktail party to welcome guests on Friday followed by the wedding on Saturday, with both events have a strict color code when it came to clothing
  • The wedding was Moroccan themed because the couple loves to travel said the planner, who posted images of the exquisite ceremony and reception  

Some of the biggest names in the world of tech fled the wind-chilled hills of  San Francisco this past weekend for the tropical beaches of Miami.

It was a cross-country migration that was all in the name of the love, with over 200 people gathering in South Beach for the wedding of former Uber business chief Emil Michael, 45, and his bride Julie Anne Herrin.

The pair were wed six years after they first met at Hyde nightclub back in 2012 while they were both in Las Vegas.

Herrin, 37, soon started to move in the same circles as her now husband when she landed a job at IfOnly, a service that offers up one-in-a-lifetime trips and experiences to benefit charities. Michael was an early investor in the company. 

This the first marriage for Michael and the second for Herrin,  

Among the high-profile guests in attendance at the event were ousted Uber CEO Travis Kalanick and one of the individuals who called for him to step down from the company he founded last year, board member Arianna Huffington.

Kalanick also brought along his girlfriend of a little over a year Angie You, marking the first time the two have been spotted together in public.

The festivities kicked off on Friday night at 10pm with a cocktail party at Wynwood Walls in Miami's art district.

That party raged until 1am on Saturday, and a little over 12 hours later Michael and Herrin said 'I do' at the Faena Forum on Miami Beach.

The famed hotel and condo complex has become a tourist hotspot ever since it was unveiled, thanks in large part to the fact that Damien Hirst's 2014 work Gone but not Forgotten is housed on the property outside the building.

That work, a gold-coated skeleton of a woolly mammoth housed in a glass box,  is frequently posted to social media by visitors.

The couple had a strict color code for both the welcome reception, which urged guests to wear bright colors, and the ceremony, where the dress code was 'neutral and metallic cocktail chic.'

To further help there were links to Pinterest boards on the wedding website and actual color examples posted online. 

The farewell brunch was a free-for-all however, with guests left entirely up to heir own devices when it came time to dress themselves for the day.

Kalanick and Huffington were not the only two of famous faces saying 'benvenuto a Miami'  for Michael and Herrin's big day.

Social-media starters, STEM-smarties, self-promoters and multiple sex-scandal plagued executives were also soaking up some rays in the Sunshine State.

Photos posted by guess show attendees like Steve Jurvetson smiling from ear-to-ear as they pose with friends.

Jurvetson's giant grin comes after a 2017 that saw his step down from the boards of Tesla and SpaceX as well as his partner position at venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson in the wake of sexual harassment allegations.

His 2018 did not kick off much better, with Axios reporting that he had hosted a sex party at his home in Half Moon Bay last summer, information they obtained from Emily Chang's upcoming book Brotopia.  

Jurvetson, who divorced his wife Karla in 2015, was joined by girlfriend Genevieve Wolff Lydstone.

She is the co-founder of Scout, which uses AI and actual humans to provide quicker and more efficient staffing to companies.

'A golden glow for Julie and Emil's wedding in South Beach this weekend, with our dear friends from Dubai,' wrote Juvetson in the caption of one photo.

'Gen Gen looks like a Golden Globe award :).'

Another photo, in which he and Lydstone were seen passionately kissing one another, was captioned: 'Love was in the air.'

The wedding hashtag for the couple was '#dealofalifetime,' and their ceremony and reception was an exquisite and perfectly styled affair. 

It began at the Faena Forum and ended at the Faena Theater, with the affair run by a large team that all did immaculate work. 

Event designer Guerdy Abraira described her inspiration in a stunning series of photos she took from inside the venue.

'[S]o many cool details for this wedding I’m not really sure where to start!!! For this particular couple who are world-travelers, Morocco was their sweet spot and so we decided to bring it to life in the most modern and artsy way to give justice to the phenomenal @faena where that already-beautiful and architectural space helped to bring this vision to life!'wrote Abraira on Instagram.

'Opening to the aisle featured this moroccan Laser cut pattern along with “petal waves” anchored by ... luminaries.' 

She next took a look at the site of the actual ceremony. 

'I named this theme “Modern Morocco” and wanted to make sure that in every shot or angle there was an element of #modernism along with the softness of #Moroccan motifs - as the beautiful couple stood on this circled stage, I created a very avant-garde ceiling design with a massive 24ft x 24ft overhead geometric cube structure while honoring the theme with a beautiful custom floor,' she wrote of the elevated stage on which the couple said their vows.

'As a final touch I surrounded this altar island by a sea of white rose petals to ensure I kept this overall look “Wedding-friendly”. This was a dream and now it’s reality!'

Michael stepped down just before his best bud and boss Kalanick in June after multiple women came forward to share stories of how sexual misconduct allegations were handled by Uber.

That resignation came three years after he championed the creation of a $1 million fund to stalk and dig into the lives of journalists who attack the company.

The one woman he cited at the time was writing a story on the very real mishandling of assault and harassment allegations that were brought to HR by female employees. 

Prior to that, both Michaels and Kalanick were widely criticized for their decision to take employees to an escort-karaoke bar in a poorly planned outing that was later highlighted in former Attorney General Eric Holder's investigation into the company. 

It was alleged the men had been calling out the numbers of women in a line-up for their enjoyment that evening. However both deny this.

Kalanick has remained at the company since stepping down and being replaced by Dara Khosrowshahi, who was formerly the CEO of Expedia.

Khosrowshahi has done a good job navigating a position where he is forced to deal with a board member who used to hold his job at the company.

A board member who used to hold his job and founded the company. 

Kalanick also remains a towering presence because of his stake in Uber, which at 10 percent is worth approximately $7 billion.  

He is now preparing to sell of about 29 percent of his stock in the company, which should net him a profit of $1.6 billion.  

Kalanick's resignation in June was not by choice, with five of the company's biggest investors demanding his resignation.

In the aftermath of that shocking revolt by the company's primary shareholders, it was revealed that while Kalanick was out as CEO he would remain a member of the Uber board.

'I love Uber more than anything in the world and at this difficult moment in my personal life I have accepted the investors request to step aside so that Uber can go back to building rather than be distracted with another fight,' said Kalanick.

Meanwhile, one of the investors who demanded Kalanick step down, Bill Gurley of Benchmark, stepped down from his post on the company's board of directors at that time. 

Gurley had been pushing for change ever since February, when former Uber employee Susan Fowler wrote about her year working at the company.

Fowler alleged that she and other women at the company were subject to constant harassment by men, and that when she did take complaints to human resources they were always dismissed and nothing was done to change the toxic environment.

She even claimed that at one point an employee with the HR department stated that shew might be the problem, and not the men.

It was not just that either, and Fowler also detailed some members of the staff as doing everything they could to rise up in the ranks while sabotaging not only other workers but also the productivity of the company.

Gurley was replaced by Matt Cohler, his co-worker at the venture firm and a close friend of Sandberg.

It is unclear if he waited to take the position until after Sandberg made it clear that she would not take the job to avoid any possible conflicts of interest, as Gurley seemed to have already planned his exit early in the week.   

Uber, which was founded in 2009, has raised more than $14 billion ove rthe past eight years.

In the letter to Kalanick, the investors also demanded that an experienced CFO be hired and that the founder and former CEO help the board in their search for his replacement.
