Three ways to have the wedding of your wildest dreams
BESPOKE EVENT PRODUCTION
Wish you could wave a magic wand and your wedding would plan itself? Hi, it’s us, we’re the magic wand. Just give us your vision and your guest list and you’re done! We’ll take care of the rest.
Wedding Planning & Event Design
You already have a job; no need to add wedding planning on as your new side hustle. Leave the tedious parts in our capable hands as we create an unforgettable experience for you and your guests.
Wedding Management
Are you into handling the planning on your own, but want to make sure you can relax and enjoy your wedding day? We’ve got you covered! We’ll handle all of the details so that you don’t miss the moments that matter most.
Feel like your wedding planned itself
Bespoke Event Production
Picture this: You book your planning experience with us. We have one meeting – one – where you share your wedding vision with us. You give us your guest list. We share a mood board and a draft budget with you, and you choose your venue from a selection we’ve hand-picked just for you.
And then, you do… nothing. Not a goddamn thing, except living your life and enjoying your engagement.
The next thing you know, you’re at your wedding preview, where a scaled-down version of your wedding is waiting for you. A chauffeured car will bring you to your wedding venue, where you’ll be pampered by your glam squad. When you emerge, your DJ will be playing your favorite songs and you’ll wander through the venue with your photo and video team, capturing your engagement on film.
You’ll make your way to a table fully set in your wedding design: the exact floral arrangements, linens, tableware, and lighting that we’ve carefully curated to bring your wedding vision to life. You’ll taste your wedding meal, followed by dessert.
When you’ve had a chance to experience and approve everything we’ve planned, you’ll sign all of your vendor contracts at once, knowing that they’re going to deliver an incredible experience for you and your guests – because they already have.
Your driver will return you home, where you’ll sit back and relax for the rest of your engagement while we put the finishing touches on all of the details. When your wedding weekend arrives, the only thing you have to do is show up and enjoy it!

The secret to a stress-free wedding day
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.
We’re gonna start planning together wayyyyyy before your wedding and we’re gonna do a lot more than just show up on the day – and that’s why we don’t call it “Day-of” or “Month-of” Coordination.
Unlike some planners who won’t even talk to you until a month or two out, you’ve got us on speed dial from the minute you sign with us. Plus, we’re going to equip you right away with an Alt+Ctrl+Wed™ membership and draft timeline so that you have everything you need to finish getting your wedding planned.
As your wedding date gets closer, we’ll meet to download all of the details from your brains and notes to ours. We’ll get you organized and then connect with your vendor team to make sure everything is ready to go.
On your wedding weekend, you get to relax and enjoy the party, because we’re making sure everything goes smoothly. From running your rehearsal to managing your vendor team to taking care of you and your guests to clean up at the end of the night – we are on it. You just show up and dance your faces off!

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should we book you?
Wedding Planning & Design and Event Design & Wedding Management packages can be booked up to two years before your anticipated wedding date.
Will you hold our wedding date after we inquire?
Due to the number of inquiries we receive, we do not hold dates. If you’re interested in planning with us, inquire now so that we can get your no-obligation consultation on our calendar.
None of the packages are quite what we need. Do you have other options?
Yes, absolutely! The descriptions on this page broadly categorize the services we offer. However, we have multiple packages to choose from, since no two weddings or couples are exactly alike.
What are your COVID policies?
As a team who cares deeply about accessibility – including how COVID affects those who are disabled or immunocompromised, we take COVID very seriously. Here’s what we’re doing to keep everyone as safe as possible:
- Our team is fully vaccinated and boosted.
- We will wear masks during events and in-person meetings for the foreseeable future.
- We conduct most of our planning meetings virtually, which minimizes potential exposure (and is super convenient, too).
- We will work together with you to develop a COVID prevention and safety policy for your wedding, if you’d like one, and to ensure that your wedding complies with any local government or health department mandates that are in effect.
- We are only accepting weddings within the Pacific Northwest planned for up to 150 guests.
- Our team only works one wedding per weekend to ensure that we can isolate between events and that we have backup staff available in case of illness. (And to give you our full attention!)
- All Aisle Less Traveled contracts include one no-fee postponement if your wedding cannot be held as planned due to COVID.
Here’s what we expect of you:
- We ask you to protect us and our families by being up to date on your own vaccines and boosters.
- We appreciate you wearing masks when we meet in person to plan your wedding, though it’s not required.
- We do not expect you or your guests to mask at your wedding, though we are happy to support you in making that request of your guests or vendors if it’s important to you.
Our wedding is on a holiday. Are you available?
It depends on what we have planned in our personal lives, but it’s possible! A $1000 surcharge will be added to our fee as compensation to cover a higher holiday pay rate for our team and as compensation for giving up time that we would have otherwise spent with our loved ones.
Our wedding budget is less than $50k. Do you have anything for us?
We do! Alt+Ctrl+Wed™ is our virtual wedding planning membership for folks on smaller budgets or who simply prefer to tackle the planning on their own.
Alt+Ctrl+Wed™ is priced on a sliding scale starting at $297. Once you join, you have access for as long as you need it. There are no recurring fees (but you can space your payment out over three months if it’s easier on your wallet.)
If you need one-on-one or done-for-you support with just a few pieces of your wedding plans, you can build your own wedding planning package from our suite of a la carte services, which start at $49.
We're not getting married in Seattle. Can you still plan our wedding?
It depends! Our Planning & Design package is only offered in the Seattle/Puget Sound area, including Bainbride, Snohomish, and the San Juan Islands. That’s because in order to find you the best venue and vendor team, we have to know the local industry. Seattle is what we know best.
For weddings in other locations looking for more support, please ask about our Guided Wedding Planning package, where we’ll help you through every step of planning. Then, we will connect with your local wedding planner to handoff the details so they can be fully up to speed to run your wedding day.
Our planning memberships and a la carte services are all provided virtually and are available throughout the US.
Regrettably, due to the extremely confusing nature of international sales taxes and work visas, we do not currently offer our services outside of the United States.
Do you plan events other than weddings?
Yes! While wedding planning is our main focus, we’re happy to plan any kind of event you’re dreaming up. Our rates begin at $4000 for Saturday events, $3500 for Friday and Sunday events, and $3000 for weekday events. Please email us to get started.
We're straight. Can we hire you?
Yep! We are thrilled to have marriers of all genders, identities, and relationship configurations as our clients. As well as folks of all body sizes, abilities, skin colors, ethnicities, countries of origin, religious beliefs or lack thereof. Basically, we welcome everyone!
Have other questions we didn’t cover here?
“From our very first encounter we were absolutely wowed with Cindy's through approach and positive energy.
Planning our wedding with Cindy and the Aisle Less Traveled team at the helm could not have been more delightful. In the months, leading up to our wedding, Cindy provided us with timely reminders, and resources to support our planning so that it never felt overwhelming. She also documented truly EVERY detail which made us feel very prepared.
Day-of, Cindy ran our wedding flawlessly. Safety pin, scissors, lint roller, late guests arriving MID processional, ensuring the brides were fed, and the parents were well behaved, all of the above was handled so precisely. It all looked and felt effortless.
As a queer couple, wedding planning can feel extra daunting- especially when the industry is generally geared to one specific version of what weddings are and what they include. Cindy asked so many thoughtful questions about what we wanted, who would be present, how our people would participate, never making assumptions and supporting each of our unique visions. She was also excellent at marrying (pun intended) our different styles and requests which felt super special.
We could not recommend Cindy enough as your wedding planner, and as a person to just know!”
-Tracey & Jackie
“Hire them immediately. Cindy and her team took such good care of us, worked with our budget, and they empowered us to make sure our wedding was about us, our vibe, and not what other people "usually" do or what's on trend right now or whatever.
They also helped us so much with some pre-wedding design as well, which was so helpful because this is very much not our skillset and we needed help reining in our ideas (our Pinterest board was a smorgasbord of everything ever). This support helped us book additional amazing vendors, and I can’t say enough good things about the Aisle Less Traveled team! Hire them ASAP!”
-Susan & Matt
"Cindy and her team are worth their weight in gold.
I genuinely cannot recommend them enough. We worked with them for two years, and my stress level over my wedding for that period of time was a ~*fraction*~ of what it could have been. That’s a long period of time for one’s mental health to be benefitted. My partner and I both have ADHD, so we can kind of suck at task management and responding to emails. Cindy and her team were so, so good about it and helped us so much with no judgment. I’m incredibly grateful for that. I came into the wedding planning world with a ton of self-induced pressure for it to be both perfect and entirely different from any wedding I had seen before. I knew I had no idea what I was doing and that I’d cry myself to sleep forever if I got it wrong, a deadly combination. Cindy and her team actually made it happen. I am so over-the-moon happy with what my wedding became, and it could not have happened without them. Thank you Aisle Less Traveled!”
-Heather & George
Let’s make your wedding the unforgettable experience you deserve.
