⇒ psst! you might want to know that we are based in Seattle, but we’ll do most of our work via phone/video calls and the magical internet, so we can work together no matter where you live. Virtual planning options are available for weddings taking place outside of the Pacific Northwest.

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!)

Ceremony Officiating services can be booked up to six months before your wedding, with the exception of our Just Make it Legal license signing service, which is offered on a rolling 30-day basis.

Really want work with us but your wedding is more than farther out than that? We keep a waitlist – mention it in your note when you inquire and we’ll add you to it.

Due to the number of inquiries we receive, we do not hold dates. If you’re interested in working 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! 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. Once we learn more about you and your wedding vision through our inquiry form and the conversation we’ll have at your complimentary consultation, we’ll be able to help you choose the right collection of services for your wedding.

We also offer many services a la carte!

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. This includes Cindy wearing a mask while officiating your wedding ceremony, unless it is outdoors with plenty of air circulation.
  • 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:

  • Please 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, if you are able.
  • 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! For planning packages, 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. For officiating services, only Completely Custom ceremonies are available on holidays and the surcharge is $500.

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 packages are 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 are also available in the Portland metro area – where we know quite a few incredible wedding pros to bring your vision to life.

Wedding Management packages are available throughout the Pacific Northwest, within about 5-6 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 administrative burden and confusing nature of international sales taxes and work visas, we do not currently offer our services outside of the United States.

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!

(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.
