Aja & Alexa: All Things Events, The Hustle, Passion, Challenges & Teamwork

Aja & Alexa join me to talk about building Duet Events from instinct, intention, and the willingness to figure it out along the way. We get into scaling a luxury event business, navigating the chaos behind the beautiful moments, and how confidence and teamwork are built, not given.

Aja & Alexa

Aja Zylberberg and Alexa Tepperman are event planners, co-founders, and the creative duo behind Duet Events — a full-service luxury wedding and event planning firm producing extraordinary celebrations across North America and beyond. What began as a shared passion pursued on weekends alongside corporate careers quickly evolved into one of Canada's most recognized event companies, earning a spot on The Wed's top 10 wedding planners in Canada list and recognition from Wezoree, with a client roster spanning dream weddings, corporate events, and destination celebrations from Toronto to Miami.

Through Duet Events, they have built more than a business — they've created a brand rooted in the belief that two perspectives are always better than one. Aja brings over a decade of experience in weddings and personal events, while Alexa's background in marketing and brand building for major names like Etsy and SoulCycle brings a fresh, strategic lens to every project. Together, they blend creativity, precision, and cutting-edge technology to deliver flawlessly executed events that are as thoughtful as they are beautiful.

Beyond their work as founders, Aja and Alexa are passionate about the craft of building something together — the teamwork, the problem solving, and the grind that sits behind every perfect event. As podcast guests, they bring honesty, warmth, and a grounded perspective on entrepreneurship, sharing the real story of what it takes to turn a side hustle into a thriving, purpose-driven company.
