Описание: In this episode of Wedding Day Podcast, host Sonja Babich, CEO of Iron Diamond Media, sits down with real couple Daphne and Elijah (Eli) live at the Minnesota Wedding Show, hosted by Minnesota Bride. The couple's wedding was featured in Minnesota Bride's Spring/Summer 2025 issue, and they share an honest, behind-the-scenes look at planning a large, culture-rich wedding centered around food, family and guest experience.

The conversation explores what couples should consider when choosing a nontraditional wedding venue, including hosting a full restaurant buyout reception, planning for a large guest count and making food the focal point of the celebration. Daphne and Eli also discuss blending Jewish and Mexican traditions throughout their wedding day, selecting a photographer for timeless imagery, building a meaningful music experience and embracing flexibility when real life shows up on the wedding day.
