Soon-to-wed couples, wedding enthusiasts, and industry professionals are in for an exciting celebration as Kasalan at Kotilyon 2025 Cebu Wedding Tourism Expo unfolds on July 5-6, 2025 at the Ayala Center Cebu.
Happening on July 5–6, 2025 at Ayala Center Cebu, this wedding tourism expo offers two days of inspiration and celebration of soon-to-wed couples, wedding enthusiasts, and industry pros.
From bridal showcases to heartfelt moments and inspired details, this wedding tourism expo offers everything couples need for a celebration that blends style with meaning.
Organized by Kasal.com, the country’s pioneer interactive wedding web services, the expo promises a vibrant showcase of wedding trends, talented suppliers, and the unique charm of Cebu as a top wedding destination.
Now on its 24th year, Kasal.com continues to serve the Filipino wedding industry. It has become a national platform that not only helps couples plan their dream weddings but also uplifts local entrepreneurs and showcases regional creativity.
A Celebration of Filipino Weddings and Talents
In an interview, Maria Thelma Ong, Editor-in-Chief of Kasal.com, shared the heart behind the event.
“Kasal.com has always been about bringing the wedding community together — from engaged couples to wedding professionals. When we launched Kasalan in 2003, we wanted to go beyond the website. We wanted to create on-ground experiences that people could look forward to,” Ong said.
Over time, Kasalan at Kotilyon has become more than a wedding fair—it’s now a launchpad for young entrepreneurs, new designers, and creative talents to grow and shine.
“This industry is about 80% small to micro enterprises. Many of our success stories started with people doing weekend projects who eventually built their own names. Some of them are now top names in wedding coverage and design,” she added.
Supporting Local, Growing Communities
One of the key messages of the expo is to encourage couples to “say yes” to Cebu weddings and Cebu-based suppliers. Ong emphasized that choosing local not only highlights the beauty of the region but also contributes directly to the local economy.
“The Philippines has amazing islands, talented professionals, and incredible wedding destinations. Cebu is one of the gems we love to promote,” she said. “When couples choose to get married here and hire local suppliers, it’s a win for everyone — it sustains businesses, builds communities, and provides meaningful opportunities for people who want to grow their own enterprises.”
A Continuing Journey
For nearly two decades, Ayala Center Cebu has been the home of Kasalan at Kotilyon in Cebu. After this leg, the roadshow will continue to Davao, Negros Island Region, and potentially three more locations across the country, as Kasal.com brings its mission to more regions in the Philippines.
“This is not just about weddings,” Ong said. “It’s about building dreams, creating opportunities, and showcasing the best of what the Philippines has to offer.”
