LGBTQ+ Elopements & Weddings in Seattle Before Trump Takes Office

Hey, hi, hello. This isn’t where we wanted to be, but it is where we are. If you’re on the fence, here’s why we think you should get married before Inauguration Day. If you already know that’s what you need to do, you are in the right place. Offers on this page are valid for marriages taking place by May 31, 2025. This page will be updated if things change, so if you see it here, assume it’s still valid. Please mention these offers when you inquire!

Wedding Planning & Coordination

The "Just Trust Us" Package

If you don’t want to elope because a full celebration is your style, then this is for you. It’s our full-service wedding planning and design package with a caveat: that you trust us to make most of the decisions for you. With very limited time to plan, we can’t afford the time it takes to let you vet every vendor and make every choice. 

So. If you trust us, we will find you a venue and a team of amazing vendors who can execute the design we’ll come up with based on your vision, and we’ll make it happen. Cindy will also officiate your ceremony if you’d like. 

This is ordinarily a $14k+ service. We are opening up four slots for March, April, or May 2025 weddings at $10k. This service requires a minimum wedding budget of $80k. This is, TBH, an amazing deal. You should take it if you can.

Wedding Management

We are opening up two slots each month through May 2025 to work with one of our fabulous associate planners at a reduced rate of $3500. (Which is $1000 off our usual fee.)

FAQ

Wedding Planning & Design and Event Design & Wedding Management packages can be booked up to two years before your anticipated wedding date. 

Wedding Management packages may be booked up to one year in advance, once you have a confirmed date and venue. (Need a venue? Go ahead and inquire – we can help you find the perfect one!)

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. You will receive your custom proposal and planning contract following your consultation. We encourage you to sign it as soon as you decide you’d like to work with us in order to secure your date. 

Yes, absolutely! Our packages are meant to broadly categorize the services we offer. For many people, one of the packages above will be the perfect fit, but others need or want something in between.

Since no two weddings or couples are exactly alike, we’ll create a customized planning package for you after we learn more about you and your wedding vision through our inquiry form and the conversation we’ll have at your complimentary consultation.

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.

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.

Holidays and special family dates subject to this surcharge are: Memorial Day weekend (Friday-Monday), Juneteenth, June 30th, Independence Day weekend (Friday-Monday), Labor Day weekend (Friday-Monday), September 16th & 17th, Thanksgiving weekend (Thursday-Sunday), December 15th, and our winter break from December 22nd through January 5th.

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. You’ll get instant access to our comprehensive wedding planning portal with all the checklists, spreadsheets, templates, money-saving tips, and advice you need. Plus, ask us all of your planning questions in our private Discord community.

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.

It depends! Our Planning & Design package is only offered in the Seattle metro area. 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.

Event Design and Wedding Management packages, along with some custom packages depending on what’s included, are also available in the Portland metro area – where we know quite a few incredible wedding pros.

Wedding Management packages are available throughout the Pacific Northwest, within about 6 hours of driving time from Seattle. 

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.

Yep! We welcome marriers of all genders, identities, and relationship configurations. As well as all body sizes, abilities, skin colors, religious beliefs or lack thereof, and countries of origin. You can learn more about our DEI commitments here. Basically, we welcome everyone!

(However, we do not work with haters, so if you’re anti-gay, anti-trans, anti-fat, racist, xenophobic, etc., kindly show yourself the fuck out.)

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 inquire here.
