I could probably write a shot novella about all the many special details of the wedding of Maria Papadakis and Brendan Kent but hopefully the pictures can tell the story. Their one of a kind wedding was held at The Academy of Music in Philadelphia, the oldest opera house and concert hall in the United States. The Chandelier was lowered as it hung over the orchestra section of the theater. It took a week to floor over the orchestra seating to make room for the seating for over 500 guests! Event planner Karen Homer of HKH Innovations did such a magnificent job putting this “mega” wedding together. Such a gorgeous event. Brian Kappra of Evantine Design elegantly designed all the flowers and decor for the event. It totally fit the opulence of the Academy of Music. I cannot wait to see the video of this wedding by Dave Williams of Cinemacake. The wedding had everything from fun filled Greek dancing to opera singing arias! A sweet little touch was the piano music box that all her guests received as parting gifts, keeping with the musical theme of their wedding day. After the event the couple departed back to the Hyatt at the Bellevue for some romantic Philadelphia skyline portraits.
