Weddings without rules

It’s one thing to find an LGBTQ+ friendly wedding planner, and it’s another to be seen for who you are, through each step of the wedding planning process. There really is no one size-fits-all for wedding planning. And we get that!

Aisle Less Traveled is a queer-owned wedding planning business in Seattle that provides high-touch support to kickass couples through expert planning and creative design.

Our biggest why is you.

Because even now, in a liberal place like the Seattle area, there are still couples being rejected by vendors because they are LGBTQ+

I (Cindy) often tell people that my career is wedding planning, but my calling is LGBTQ+ inclusivity. Years before I became a wedding planner, I was protesting for our right to get married. I will continue to advocate for our rights until the day I die, whether I’m planning weddings or not. 

Wedding planning for LGBTQ+ folks is the perfect way to use my best skills and continue to fight for us. I’m a bit of a mama bear when it comes to our clients – there’s nothing I wouldn’t do to make sure that your wedding planning process and your wedding celebrates YOU. Your whole, true selves. 

You deserve an experience and a wedding day free from hate and bigotry and misgendering and any number of phobias. You deserve a day surrounded by people who enthusiastically support your relationship and who are nothing short of absolutely thrilled to play a part in it. 

Why do I do this? Because I’m still needed. Trust me, like every small business owner who has ever existed, I regularly have days when I just want to get a “real job” because the hustle required to keep on keeping on is A LOT. But then I think about the people who need me. 

If I can step in and round up a venue and a vendor team who are proud to serve our community, many of whom are LGBTQ+ themselves, and keep our clients from ever having to be on the receiving end of those rejection emails? I’m sticking around for that. If I can be the one to come out for you so that you don’t have to do it over and over as you plan your wedding, on pins and needles every time in fear of rejection? That’s why I’m here.

I also happen to be a really fucking excellent wedding planner and I’m fun, so there’s that.

“I tell everyone that the best money I have ever spent was on professional movers and the second best money I have ever spent was with Aisle Less Traveled. And that’s a close call!

Cindy and her team planned our wedding and my husband’s 40th birthday party, and both went phenomenally well. Cindy and her team heard some of our ideas and translated them into reality so beautifully that it was hard to believe my eyes. They made for absolutely perfect experiences and we were not stressed out at all on the day of. Whatever issues came up, they solved. The team was reliable, on time, on budget, and so easy to work with. If you find yourself able to work with Cindy, do it. You will be so glad you did.”

Wedding Management

You know you can plan your wedding just the way you want it. And you also know that you can’t be everyone everywhere all at once, so you’re handing the details and execution over to our team of pros.

This is for you if...

You want to handle all of the planning on your own but you’re too smart to believe that your day can run itself. You want your loved ones to get the full guest experience (no working at your wedding!) and you want to actually enjoy it, too!
