For Alexa Tepperman, wedding planning has always existed at the intersection of emotion and precision — a space where creativity, logistics, and human connection come together.
“We’ve been planning weddings for over a decade, with experience spanning intimate celebrations to large-scale, design-forward destination weddings across North America and Europe.”
Her path into weddings wasn’t defined by a single moment, but by a natural evolution shaped by hospitality, production, and a deep appreciation for meaningful experiences.
“Our backgrounds are rooted in high-end events, hospitality, and creative production, which naturally led us into wedding planning through a love of storytelling, design, and logistics living side by side.”
What began as helping friends and family celebrate milestone moments quickly grew into something far more profound.
“What started as helping friends and family plan milestone celebrations quickly evolved into something much bigger once we realized how much we loved the balance of creativity, problem-solving, and human connection that weddings demand.”
The very first wedding she planned left a lasting impression.
“It was planned largely through instinct, late nights, and a lot of learning on the fly. It taught us very quickly that beautiful weddings don’t just happen through good taste alone, they require structure, foresight, and calm leadership.”
That lesson continues to shape every event Duet Events produces today.
At its core, Duet Events is driven by the belief that weddings should never feel formulaic — they should feel personal, intentional, and emotionally resonant.
“At our core, our philosophy is rooted in intention, trust, and thoughtful execution.”
Alexa’s process begins by understanding the deeper meaning behind each celebration.
“We believe weddings should feel like a true reflection of the couple, not a formula or a trend checklist.”
Her role extends far beyond coordination — it’s about creating clarity and confidence for couples navigating one of the most significant moments of their lives.
“Our role is to listen deeply, ask the right questions, and then guide the process with clarity and confidence, balancing creativity with structure every step of the way.”
The weddings that inspire her most are those defined not just by aesthetics, but by emotional authenticity.
“We love celebrations that feel elevated but personal, design-forward yet warm, and thoughtfully curated rather than overproduced.”
Whether intimate or expansive, each wedding is approached with the same intentional care.
What Alexa values most is the ability to translate emotion into something tangible — an experience that lives beyond a single day.
Every wedding starts with a story, two people, their families, their history, and the way they want to celebrate.
Being entrusted with that responsibility is never taken lightly.
“Being invited into that moment and entrusted to translate it into an experience is incredibly meaningful to us.”
Her work brings both creative fulfillment and operational satisfaction.
“We love taking abstract ideas, emotions, and priorities and turning them into something tangible, thoughtful, and beautifully executed.”
But the true reward comes quietly, in the moments couples often don’t see.
“Standing quietly in the background as a celebration unfolds exactly as it was imagined (or even better) never gets old.”
Duet Events operates exclusively as a full-service planning and design studio — a deliberate choice rooted in quality and consistency.
“We operate as a full-service planning and design studio.”
This approach allows Alexa and her team to guide every aspect of the process with intention.
“By taking on full-service planning only, we’re able to guide every decision with intention, from creative direction and budgeting to vendor strategy, logistics, and on-site production.”
Every event is tailored to reflect the couple’s unique vision and priorities.
“Each event is tailored within our full-planning framework to reflect the client’s goals, priorities, and the type of experience they want to create.”
Behind the scenes, structure and foresight ensure that couples remain present in their own celebration.
“Our focus remains the same: thoughtful design, calm leadership, and meticulous execution.”
Among the many weddings Alexa has planned, one stands out for its emotional depth and meaningful collaboration.
“One of the most memorable weddings we’ve ever planned was for Mona and Gary Vaynerchuk.”
Despite Gary’s global influence, the focus remained deeply personal.
Every decision was rooted in authenticity, connection, and guest experience.
What made the experience unforgettable wasn’t scale — it was trust.
“They gave us the freedom to push ideas, think creatively, and focus on what mattered most to them.”
The celebration embodied everything Alexa believes weddings should represent.
“It remains one of our most memorable weddings not because of who was in attendance, but because of who they are.”
Alexa’s process begins with listening — deeply and intentionally.
“Our approach begins with listening, really listening.”
Understanding emotional priorities shapes every planning decision.
“We start by understanding not just what our clients want their event to look like, but how they want it to feel.”
Structure brings calm to an otherwise overwhelming process.
“Our role is to simplify what can feel overwhelming, anticipate challenges before they arise, and make decisions feel informed and confident rather than stressful.”
Trust becomes the foundation for seamless execution.
“When clients feel heard and supported, the result is an event that feels intentional, seamless, and genuinely reflective of who they are.”
Duet Events’ work spans continents, with weddings produced across both urban and historic settings.
“Toronto and Miami are currently our most active markets, but our work continues to expand internationally.”
Their destination portfolio continues to grow across Europe.
“This year alone, we’re producing weddings from Sicily to Athens.”
The dream locations that inspire Alexa most share one defining quality — presence.
Our dream wedding venues are those that carry history, grandeur, and a true sense of place.
Among them, Château de Versailles represents the pinnacle of celebration.
“Its unmatched scale, royal heritage, and architectural drama make it the ultimate symbol of once-in-a-lifetime opulence.”
Venues like Villa d’Este and Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc offer something equally powerful.
“Our dream venues are places that allow guests to be transported, where history, beauty, and atmosphere work together to elevate the entire experience.”
For Alexa Tepperman, wedding planning is not about spectacle — it’s about meaning.
It’s about creating clarity in complexity.
It’s about transforming emotion into experience.
It’s about building celebrations that feel deeply personal, yet effortlessly executed.
Through Duet Events, she has created a planning philosophy defined by trust, intention, and thoughtful leadership.
Because the most unforgettable weddings are never accidental.
They are designed with care, guided with purpose, and felt long after the last guest leaves.
