Wedding Management

a.k.a. "Day-of-Coordination"

You’re confident you can plan your wedding just the way you want it, but you don’t want to spend your big day fussing with decorations, answering questions, and stressing about the details.

Relax! We’ve got this. We’ll take over in the weeks leading up to your big day so you can chill the fuck out.

How We Do Wedding Coordination Differently

Many wedding coordinators will not assist you in any way until a month or so before your wedding and that’s… not great for you (or for us, TBH.)

You’re making a substantial investment when you hire us and you’re doing that in order to ditch the stress and have a relaxed wedding day that you can actually enjoy.

The best way to get that is to have someone who has planned a lot of weddings looking over your shoulder, giving you advice, catching potential problems before they become disasters, and generally being your wedding planning BFF from day one.

So that’s what we’re gonna do.

(And by the way, the reason we don’t call this service “day-of-coordination” is because that’s not a real thing. There’s no way someone can show up on your wedding day, with no preparation, and expect to do a good job managing it. We also don’t call it “month-of-coordination” because, as you’re about to read, we’re on your team from the moment you hire us which means you don’t have to wait until your wedding is only a month away for us to help.)

Ok, sounds cool, but WTF does that even mean?

Unlimited access to our wedding planner brains via phone, text, and email for all of your questions, concerns, rants, and ideas from the moment you hire us.
An initial meeting right after you book us to create a draft timeline of your wedding day – a key document that will be super helpful as you book the rest of your vendor team, many of whom will need to know your intended schedule in order to give you pricing and proposals.
Regular check-ins throughout the process to make sure you are staying sane and getting things done.
A private Slack channel to ask us quick questions or get our opinions in real time, any time, plus a group channel where you can hang out and share your planning wins and frustrations with our other rad clients.
A personal wedding dashboard with links to just about everything you need to plan, including our Big-Ass Wedding Planning Checklist, Wedding Budget spreadsheet, and all of your wedding planning documents.
Exclusive discounts for Aisle Less Traveled clients from some of the biggest names in wedding invitations, live streaming, and more.
An Alt+Ctrl+Wed™ membership, which will walk you through how to do all the planning stuff, complete with all the templates, checklists, spreadsheets, etc. you need and personal support along the way.
We’re gonna make sure your plans are solid – which means you can send schedules, proposals, contracts, etc. our way to get our expert opinions, red flag alerts, and money-saving tips before you book them or make expensive mistakes.

And that's just the bonus stuff!

You'll also get the usual services that every great wedding planner includes in a wedding coordination package:

Wedding logistics meeting about three months before your big day to get all those plans from your brains/notes into ours.
Creation of detailed wedding timeline, photo shot list, packing list, setup and strike plan, and other organizational docs.
Access to our preferred software platform for managing your guest list and creating your floor plans.
Final details meeting about a month out to review/confirm your plans
Check-ins with each of your vendors to confirm the plans, get all questions answered and details ironed out, and distribute critical wedding day info.
We’re the liaison with vendors for the two weeks leading up to your wedding – which means all those last-minute questions land in our inbox, not yours
Facilitation of your rehearsal in tandem with your officiant
Start-to-finish management of the actual wedding day with two wedding managers, which we’ll be happy to describe in detail at your consultation!

4250 - 6275+

Fees are based on the size, scope, and location of your wedding. Weddings with large guest counts, multiple locations and/or extensive DIY elements fall on the higher end of this range, while weddings with smaller guest counts, ceremony & reception in the same location, and little or no DIY land on the lower end.

Availability: We accept a maximum of 15 wedding management clients each year to ensure we can give your wedding the attention it deserves. Wedding Management may be booked up to fifteen months before your wedding, once you have a confirmed date and venue. Need help finding a venue? We offer that service a la carte! Inquire below.

Tell us more! What part of wedding planning is making you swear and throw things the most so far? Why do you think Aisle Less Traveled might be right for you?

COVID! It's the thing we all wish we didn't have to think about, but we do. At Aisle Less Traveled, we prioritize public health, in particular protecting those who are most vulnerable to the effects of this deadly virus, way ahead of any event and even above our ability to earn a living. We want to normalize the conversation around public health and safety at large events like weddings. Our team is fully vaccinated and boosted. Are you and your partner willing to share your vaccination status with us? In addition, please share how you think you'll protect the health and safety of your guests, vendors, and yourselves at your wedding.

Have you read and do you agree to follow the COVID policies below if we choose to work together?
