Let’s talk about you first.

We’re probably going to have a great time working together if you…

  • Want to have a beautiful wedding, but also know that your guests’ experience is most important

  • Work really hard at your job/life and feel like there just aren’t enough hours in the day

  • Might be planning long distance or from out-of-state

  • Can be a little Type-A (I am too, so no shame here, my friend… I’ve got you)

  • Believe that weddings are a celebration, not a competition

  • Have a wonderful [insert well-intentioned parent/friend/family member here] who wants to help, but might be driving you a little bananas

  • Find satisfaction in checking things off of a list (you may even add something to it after you’ve done it, just so you can cross it off)

  • Think that a hot beverage, cozy blanket, and a really good book might be the very best treat after a hard day

  • Enjoy a walk through the woods but also appreciate a stroll through a bustling city

  • Believe in practical decisions based on logic, but also know when to follow your gut

Hi, I’m Danielle “DPNAK” Pasternak

DPNAK / dee-pee-knack / SHE/HER/hers

bucks county based wedding coordinator and big fan of neatly-organized lists


Since 2009, I’ve had the honor of working with hundreds of amazing couples, just like you, confidently plan a wedding that they felt proud to host. And when their wedding day arrived, they were actually able to ENJOY it alongside their family and friends.

Throughout the years, I’ve crafted my signature process, honed my skills as a planner, and continue to stay educated by well-known industry leaders to give you the best possible experience.

Above all else, I firmly believe that you (and every couple) deserve to have a dedicated planner on your team who will advocate for you, help you stay organized, and give you all the tools and answers you need to feel really good about the event you’re planning.

So, I’m very happy you’re here.

a handful of fun fun facts

MY FAVORITE thing

  • My journey as a wedding planner began in 2009 after a 41-day cross-country road trip.

  • Dancing makes me so happy, but I’m truly the worst singer you’ve ever heard.

  • Yoga, books, campfires, and bodies of water calm my soul and fill my tank.

  • DPNAK is consistently listed as one of the Top Best Wedding Planners in Philadelphia and was named in Destination Weddings and Honeymoon Magazine as one of the “World’s Top Wedding Planners”.

  • I co-host the Put A Ring On It podcast with over 100 free episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

  • The best place to eat in any restaurant is in the kitchen. Second best is at the bar. Watching anything that is “behind the scenes” fascinates me.

  • I have one heck of a partner who’s not only sweet, but crazy talented. His name is Michael. I’m also a step-mom to an amazing kiddo and we have two adorable pups.

  • While I currently live in Perkasie, I’m originally from the Scranton area (Clarks Summit specifically).

  • Yes, I love The Office. Other favorite TV shows include Schitts Creek, Real Housewives, and TaskMaster.

  • My whole world revolves around making lists (like this) and getting things done.

  • Movies are great, but I absolutely LOVE random movie facts and watching audio commentaries.

  • Carrots are my arch nemesis. I will not eat them, Sam I am.
