The Menzuber's wedding day beautifully blended sacred tradition with historic Minneapolis elegance. After a heartfelt ceremony at their church, they returned to The Depot Minneapolis to get ready for the evening celebration and host their reception inside one of the city's most iconic venues.
Their reception fully embraced Greek heritage, weaving meaningful traditions into an already elegant setting. Greek weddings are known for their energy, symbolism, and deep family roots, and the Menzubers honored that beautifully. From ceremonial elements that celebrated unity and blessing to a dance floor that stayed packed well into the night, tradition wasn't just acknowledged - it was lived.
The reception space at The Depot transformed into a vibrant celebration where heritage and history met seamlessly. Classic Minneapolis architecture framed joyful Greek dancing, heartfelt toasts, and multi-generational moments that felt both deeply cultural and universally emotional.
The result was a wedding that honored faith, family, and legacy - beginning in the church and culminating in a reception that felt grand, joyful, and unmistakably personal in the heart of downtown Minneapolis.
