About Aisle Less Traveled

Aisle Less Traveled

Queer Wedding Planner in Seattle for Fun, Modern, & Nontraditional Weddings!

Welcome to the land of bold colors, zero boring pastels, and weddings that couldn't possibly belong to anyone else. Aisle Less Traveled is a queer-owned wedding planning company based in Seattle, serving the greater Pacific Northwest since 2011. We offer full wedding planning and event design, wedding management for self-planning couples who want a pro to run the day, and officiating for ceremonies that actually sound like you. Over 50 years of combined live event experience. Featured in The New York Times, Fast Company, Condé Nast Traveler, Brides, and more.

We believe the only requirements for your wedding are the two of you and a valid marriage license. Everything else is yours to decide — or ditch entirely. Traditions you love? Keep them. Ones that don't fit? Gone. We've been planning queer weddings since before they were legal, and we're not new to this. We're also the planners who come out for you so you don't have to do it fourteen more times. Every vendor we recommend has been vetted through a queer lens — not just tolerant, but thrilled to be invited to the party.

In three words: Creative, Organized, Thoughtful

    My wife and I wanted a strictly non-religious wedding. There are lots of religion-based officiants willing to do secular ceremonies, but we wanted someone who was in no way representing a religious organization. That doesn't seem like it should be that hard to find, but it turns out it is. Aisle Less Traveled met with us to get to know us, and once they got our vibe, they connected us with our officiant, Maddy. Maddy spent time not only getting to know us, but understanding the type of people we were. They didn't pressure us to do anything we didn't want to do, and they enthusiastically embraced the aspects of the ceremony that many would struggle with. They wrote a thoughtful ceremony for us that reflected both of us, while being receptive to feedback along the way. Attendees who know us well mentioned afterward how fitting the ceremony was for us. We would highly recommend Maddy, along with Aisle Less Traveled, to anyone. I'm sure Maddy would do great ceremonies for less idiosyncratic couples, but when if you're a couple worried about someone listening to you and believing you when you advocate for what you want, Maddy is a great choice.

    I had the pleasure of working with Cindy and the Aisle Less Traveled team on an event at Stone Way Auto and cannot recommend them enough. Cindy and Maddy were so attentive to every little detail and pulled together an amazing lineup of top notch vendors to create one of the most memorable and fun experiences I've seen in our venue. The whole team is kind, organized and handles issues that come up like the pros that they are. You won't regret hiring them!

    We could not be happier with our new experience with Aisle Less Traveled. Cindy, Maddie and their team are fun and professional, open to incorporating all our wild ideas, and made the wedding planning process as stress free as possible. Our wedding came together BEAUTIFULLY with all the best vendors by our side. Could not recommend enough, 10 stars!

    I've worked with Cindy many many times while photographing weddings (especially queer weddings 🌈✨) and every time the evenings go absolutely amazing. Even leading up to the events Cindy is extremely thorough making sure every detail is accounted for! At our last wedding I worked with their assistant Maddy who helped coordinate the day just as amazing as Cindy does.

    I am so glad we finally got to work together, Jenn! Thank you for this lovely review. Our clients had a wonderful experience working with you as well. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for them! Looking forward to (hopefully) many more events together!!
