Summary

On this episode of the RJ Ledesma Podcast, I sit down with one of the most respected names in the Philippine wedding industry — Kutchie Zaldarriaga, founder of Getting Married Bridal Fair and the force behind Getting Married Wedding Coordinators & Event Planners. What began as a passion for helping couples plan meaningful celebrations evolved into a full-scale enterprise that not only executes beautiful weddings, but also creates opportunities for hundreds of wedding entrepreneurs through one of the country’s most established bridal expos. In our conversation, Kutchie shares how she built credibility in a highly competitive industry, how she transformed her event planning expertise into a scalable business platform, and why the wedding space continues to offer strong opportunities for suppliers, creatives, and aspiring entrepreneurs. She also gives practical advice for soon-to-be-weds — especially on crafting a smooth, engaging reception program that truly reflects the couple. If you’re in the events industry, planning your wedding, or looking to build a niche business with real staying power, this episode is packed with insight from someone who didn’t just grow a brand — she helped shape an entire industry. 🎙 For any collaboration, brand partnership, and campaign run inquiries, e-mail us at [email protected].
