ABOUT AIsle Less Traveled

About You

It’s really important to us that we work with clients we love! Why? Because, real talk: we’re going to spend a lot of time together planning your wedding and it’s a fucking drag to work our asses off for people we don’t vibe with. And it’s not good for you either: no one does their best work for people they don’t like. (If you’ve ever had a shitty boss, you know exactly what we mean.)

We’ve been doing this a long time – collectively, our team has over 25 years of experience! – and along the way we’ve noticed some things that the kind of clients we love to plan with have in common.

Aisle Less Traveled might be the right wedding planners for you if...

  • You know who you are and you are ready to bring your full, authentic selves to the wedding planning process.
  • You have a clear wedding vision and you care about creating a beautiful, memorable wedding that will leave a lasting impression.
  • You treasure your guests and want to give them an exceptional experience. (We often have guests come up to us at the end of the night to tell us, “This was the best wedding we’ve ever been to!”)
  • You are thoughtful and confident decision makers.
  • You want a team of incredible artists to bring your wedding vision to life – and you’re ready to trust us to guide that process for you. 
  • You are eager to support small, local businesses with your wedding.
  • You are refusing to let the wedding industry and societal expectations dictate how you celebrate your love.
  • You are ready to ditch outdated traditions and boring pastel color palettes so your wedding can be vibrant, authentic, and FUN!
  • BONUS POINTS: You swear as much as we do and you know there’s a Schitt’s Creek GIF that perfectly embodies your response to just about any situation.

About Us

Chances are, you’ve never planned a wedding before and you could use some professional help figuring out how to make this shindig happen. That’s where we come in.

Cindy Savage (she/they)

Wedding Planner, Officiant, & Owner

Hi! I'm Cindy, your queer feminist wedding planner.

I’ve been planning live events since 1995, when I got hooked on the behind-the-scenes work that happens in live theatre. As a stage manager, I worked with all kinds of personalities to create unique experiences, handling every small detail without losing sight of the big picture. That’s the A game I’ll bring to your wedding (Read more about why stage managers make great wedding planners here. You’ll notice that I’m not the only one of those on my team.)

While planning my own (first) wedding in 2010, I noticed all the bride-centric, sexist, homophobic nonsense and it pissed me the fuck off. So I decided to do something about it. In 2011, I switched gears from theatre to weddings and focused on advocating for couples who are marginalized by society and the wedding industry to get y’all the joyful, beautiful, offbeat, love fests you deserve.

Since then, I’ve gotten really good at weddings – and I’ve trained a fantastic team to help me get it all done.

We are really damn good at planning big parties and at helping you sort out what’s important to you so that you can have the wedding you actually want.

Oh yeah, and we’re also great at reducing your wedding planning stress so you can chill the fuck out, too!

Meet the Team

Colleen Gregg (she/her)

Associate Wedding Planner

I’m a proud West Point grad and served as an Army officer for eight years. During that time, I planned and oversaw hundreds of military operations, and led teams in the most dynamic and stressful situations. Now as a civilian, I bring the same precision and attention to detail to make wedding dreams come true!

I’m a mom of two little girls, an avid Boston sports fan, and I’ll always want to hear about you pets.

Colleen joined us in 2021 and quickly grew from wedding day assistant to an associate planner, helping behind the scenes to make our processes as efficient as possible. She also had top secret clearance in the military – so you know she can keep any wedding planning secrets you want to confess! In 2023, she completed her wedding manager training and she’s now taking on clients of her own. She’s a tremendous asset to our team and to every wedding she works.

Jennifer Rodvold (she/her)

Associate Wedding Planner

I come from a theatre stage management background where it is all about being prepared for any situation at a moment’s notice – with a live audience watching every move.

Outside of work, I am an avid board gamer and quilter – somehow the two go together, but, I have yet to quilt a board game. I watch a lot of who-done-its while doing so, from old classics like Poirot to modern “masterpieces” like Pretty Little Liars.

Jennifer joined us in 2022 and is a wonderful addition to our team! With our shared stage management background, we have an instant shorthand to get things done together, especially under pressure. This year, Jennifer is training to start managing weddings on her own, so expect to see her taking charge!

Maddy Dibble (they/them)

Associate Wedding Planner

I am a producer, performer, and troublemaker. When I’m not in a theatre somewhere – or at your wedding! – I can usually be found at a dog park listening to a podcast. I am proud to call the Pacific Northwest my home.

Fun fact: Maddy’s wedding was the very first one we booked after moving to Seattle back in 2019 – they had such a great experience with us that they applied to join our team! With a background in theatrical stage management and production, Maddy is an expert at putting on a show – and that’s kind of what a wedding is in many ways. We are thrilled to have them on our team!
