Summertime Glasbern Inn Wedding | Marielle and Frank
At DPNAK Events, it’s all about turning big wedding ideas into unforgettable memories.

Intimate, Bridgerton-Inspired Hotel Bethlehem 1741 Terrace Wedding | Caroline and Jason
Welcome, gentle readers, to a captivating day celebrating love, romance, and the sheer opulence of a wedding fit for the pages of a Regency-era novel.
This past May, nestled in the heart of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the iconic 1741 Terrace at Hotel Bethlehem recently played host to an enchanting celebration that blended the timeless elegance of Bridgerton with modern-day love.
With Alison Conklin behind the camera lens and Allium Floral Design creating pieces that rivaled the gardens of the Duke of Hastings, it was an HONOR to be part of this day for Caroline and Jason.
Chelsea and Brian’s Good Vibes Bok Wedding
I don’t think I’ve ever had a harder time choosing a handful of photos to share from a wedding. Sonderbird Photography did such an AMAZING job of capturing the day. Each photo captures a moment more perfect than the next.
From the couple, to the details, to the vibes. And boy, were there VIBES.
Chelsea and Brian’s wedding at Bok was full of joy, fun, really good vibes, and incredibly good people. Plus donuts. 🍩
Rainy, Fall Wedding at the Horticulture Center at Fairmount Park
If you’ve already skipped ahead, I know what you’re thinking… “Uhm, this certainly doesn’t look like it was raining?!”
Well, it absolutely was. Not a downpour, but for most of Jen and Matt’s wedding day on October 1, 2022, Mother Nature was providing a steady drizzle. This made the entire Horticulture Center at Fairmount Park look so green and lush. And provided a stunning “rain plan” for what was supposed to be an outdoor ceremony.
But the true rock stars were this amazing couple, their photographers (Asya and Georgi from Asya Photography), and the couple’s group of VIPs. They fearlessly braved the rain for photos and the result…. well, I’ll let you be the judge.

Carolyn and Nick’s Simple and Fun Penn Museum Wedding
Carolyn and Nick’s wedding took place in early June 2022 at the Penn Museum in Philadelphia, PA. During our first walkthrough of the space, I think I said, “THIS SPACE IS SO COOL!” about a hundred times — because it totally is.
