You may know Matt King from his viral Vine videos back in the 2010s, or maybe you know him as a loveable member of David Dobrik’s “Vlog Squad”—a group of YouTubers known for filming their influencer lives. What was King and friends doing in Birmingham? Keep reading for what we know.

Why was Matt King in Birmingham?

This weekend, the YouTube star traded the City of Angels for the Magic City as he married long-time girlfriend and Mountain Brook native Patricia Flach.

The two tied the knot at Holy Trinity Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Cathedral, and continued the party with all their friends at The Club.

King marries into Hamburger Heaven family

King happened to marry the daughter of Hamburger Heaven owner Pete Flach. After visiting Birmingham and trying his new family’s restaurant, King raved about their famous sauce on his podcast “Hoot & a Half.”

“It’s delicious, it’s the new ketchup! It’s ketchup 2.0.”

The Vlog Squad in the Magic City

“Vlog Squad” members—Toddy Smith, Zane Hijazi and David Dobrik—had time to explore the city. Shown through social media posts, the squad was spotted at a few of Birmingham favorites including:

  • Soho Social
  • The Fennec
  • House of Found Objects
  • Neon Moon

Sadly, the famous David Dobrik was not spotted giving away any Tesla’s any where near the Birmingham area.

Congratulations to the happy couple

We hope the King family and their friends had a great time during their stay here in Birmingham. We look forward to seeing more of Matt King and his lovely new bride around the area.
