Mix & match to your heart’s desire – you can even add these on to a planning package if you like! Not seeing what you need? No problem. Let’s talk about what you need and I’ll put together a custom proposal for you.
So you started to plan your wedding. You got online and read some wedding blogs. You tried to make a budget. You began looking at venues and photographers and catering and thinking about decor and logistics and how this is all gonna get done and holy shit, this is a lot of Things and it’s all very overwhelming and dear god, how will you possibly ever get it all done???
You need a plan. Yep, that’s right, a plan for… planning.
Lucky for you, this is the kind of thing we do, like, all day long. So let’s start your wedding planning off on the right foot!
First, you’re going to do a little bit of homework (it’s fun! pinky swear!), and then we’ll jump on a call together to get your wedding priorities and vision sorted out.
Then, we’ll research and compile your dream wedding budget, which we’ll review in your second session. And since your dream wedding probably costs more than your actual wedding budget, we’ll also talk about ways to save without sacrificing the things you want most.
After our sessions, you’ll get a customized month-by-month planning guide with suggested tasks, timing, and tips, plus with online access to a wedding budget spreadsheet tailored just for you.
Finally, you’ll have our wedding planning membership to ensure you have everything you need to keep your planning on track!
Wedding planning by the hour. Your chance to ask me anything about your wedding plans!
Maybe you need a quick brainstorming session, to run your questions by an expert, or have a specific gap in your planning to fill. We’ll meet via phone or video chat to get you the answers and tips you need. Time can be used for any aspect of wedding planning.
Stressing out about finalizing all the details? No room in your budget for a professional coordinator? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered!
You’ll send me all your plans, contracts, and schedules, which I’ll review before we meet. Then we’ll connect via phone or video chat so I can walk you through my detailed pre-wedding checklist. We’ll go over all the details of your wedding with a specific focus on highlighting areas in your intended plans where extra time or help may be needed and identifying details which may have been overlooked.
After our meeting, I’ll prepare (with your input) a set of organizational documents for your wedding, including a detailed timeline, setup and breakdown plan for your team of volunteers, photo shot list, contact sheet for vendors & VIPs, ceremony order, packing list, and final payment deadlines.
Follow up support, by phone and email, is included for 30 days after our meeting to answer any last-minute questions you have and help prevent unnecessary panic.
Are you freaking out? Like, your wedding is a couple months from now and you’re sure you should be doing something but you have no idea what? Or you’re absolutely certain that you’ve forgotten something? Or maybe you just started planning and it’s all just too much?
Take a deep breath and call us. This is completely normal, and we can help you. Let’s get on the phone and talk it through. Ask us literally anything about your wedding. We’ll help you get your priorities sorted, make sure you are on track, and show you how to get it done.
Ok, so if your your photographer needs 3 minutes per photo and the hotel is 18 minutes away from the ceremony venue, which is 7 miles from the hair salon, and the wedding starts at 4:00pm, what time should you schedule your makeup appointment for?
If questions like this one are making you reach for the whiskey, hang tight, wee’ve got you! Let’s do some timeline magic.
You tell us everything you know about your wedding. We ask you some more questions that you probably didn’t know you needed to ask.
We’ll do all the backwards calculating, google mapping, and adding buffer time as needed so your day can run smoothly and without unnecessary rushing around.
Then we’ll make you a beautiful timeline that you can reference, update, give to your wedding party, and share with your vendors.
Sticking to your budget is difficult, especially if you’ve never planned a large event before and have no idea what things usually cost! In our Budget Strategy session, we’ll sit down together and go over every bit of your budget line by line. I’ll make suggestions about places you can cut costs (not just the guest list!) while staying true to your wedding vision.
After the session, I’ll hook you up with online access to your personalized budget to track your spending as you continue planning.
Follow up support, by phone and email, is included for 30 days after our meeting to provide expert advice any budget-related aspect of your wedding.
Wedding planning by the month is basically like having a planner on call for anything and everything you need! You can use the time to pick my brain, have me research vendors in your area, design or get pricing for your decor ideas, draft a timeline for your day, or just about anything else you need help with for your wedding.
Every Aisle Less Traveled wedding starts with a little speed date so we can see if we’re a match for each other. Head over to the contact page to give us your details and we’ll be in touch to schedule your free consultation!
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.

Let us take all of that pressure off of you. We’ll put our art degrees to work and make a beautiful event that feels authentic to the two of you.

Nick and Franklin wanted a modern, refined aesthetic that still evoked the warmth and coziness of a Pacific Northwest forest in the fall. Trinity Tree Farm is a working Christmas tree farm nestled in the foothills of the Cascades, which made it the perfect choice for this enchanted forest vibe.
A magical forest vibe can easily lean into whimsy, which we didn’t want, so we also took inspiration from Nick’s Nordic heritage to elevate the design with clean lines and minimalist styles. A big part of that was adding depth with contrast; our main colors were forest green and burgundy, accented with pops of ballet pink. We paired warm wood tables with black chairs and dishes to add drama. But we didn’t leave out the forest in the process! We draped greenery down the center of the tables and above the dance floor to create the feeling of being in the forest.

Jackie and Tracey had a wedding that was so very them that it couldn’t possibly have been for anyone else. They really brought the FUN! From the moment guests arrived, they knew they were in for a fabulous time — because they were greeted by a drag queen handing them a glass of champagne.
The good times continued with a drag performance and an absolutely epic dance party, which was all the better because of their design choices. The bold color palette of navy, coral, and gold brought a vibrant edginess to the day, which was complemented by dynamic and colorful lighting throughout the evening.

Sid and Ren are nerds of the best variety, and when it came to their wedding, they wanted to showcase their favorite interests. It started with their outfits. They decided on full adventurer attire, with capes, corsets, boots, and swords, each topped off with a flower crown.
When it came to decor, they wanted to highlight the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and complement the beautiful trees and flowers at the venue. They chose a color palette of greens and purples, with lots of moss, wood, and live mushrooms! We loved their table assignments – each table was named after a different woodland animal and a beautiful illustration of each animal was set in the center of every table.
One of the most fun things we’ve ever had at a wedding was at theirs: instead of a first dance, they performed a first duel! We called on our theater background and enlisted a stage combat choreographer to design and teach them the fight sequence, which ended with a kiss and a roaring cheer from the crowd! And – you better believe they cut the cake with a sword, too!!

Steph and Lauren dreamed of a warm and cozy early fall wedding that would show off the beautiful gardens at Willows Lodge and incorporate their love of nature. We chose a color palette of rich evergreens, warm earthy tones, and pops of peach pinks and coral. Working closely with our vendor team, we selected peach, sage, and hunter linens accented with copper glass votives.
We opted for loose, organic vibes with the florals, choosing coppery compote bowls to hold our centerpieces and arranging our ceremony florals on the venue’s wooding arbor and wine barrels. We kept the lighting soft and warm, with market lights strung over the reception and paper lanterns lighting the way to the gelato cart for dessert.
Steph and Lauren put their own very special touch on the decor with a custom welcome sign styled as if at the entrance to a national park, and miniature national park signs designating each dining table as a different park.

Juliana and Nicole wanted to create an atmosphere of warmth, ease, and excitement. Their vision was a nature-focused event with saturated colors, cozy spaces, and lots of greenery. Our inspiration for color was a sunset – we included a full range from pinks and oranges to blues and purples.
To create the cozy vibe, we added candles all around, rugs down the aisle, and lounge furniture on the patio, which was used throughout the reception. The centerpieces were nestled into beds of moss, with each table having a signature flower as the main point of the arrangement. That flower was also pressed into the table number.
A colorful floral design was chosen for their invitations and signs to bring it all together. And we can’t skip over our absolute favorite part of this design – “curtains” made of flowers strung together to beautifully filter light into the ballroom.

Andy and Victor came to us with a crystal clear vision for their wedding. They wanted an elegant, glamorous affair – and they wanted every single guest to feel like a VIP at an exclusive club. When we started talking about design, they already had a dress code in mind: they would wear black tuxes, the wedding party would wear all white, and they would ask their guests to arrive fashionably dressed in the colors of the rainbow.
They weren’t particularly interested in live flowers and they wanted to keep the event color palette neutral as well, so we settled on black and white with metallic details. We transformed the ballroom from basic to elevated with floor-to-ceiling black and white draping. White ostrich feathers, gold painted palm fronds, and draped crystals made their centerpieces sparkly but chic.
The tablescapes were on point with black linens, gold flatware, and white plates on top of gold-rimmed glass chargers. We never overlook the importance of lighting in setting the mood – which meant warm uplighting around the room for dinner and then a full-color, club style show for dancing.
