We create meaningful, modern weddings for LGBTQ+ folks and our allies without all the stress! Hi! I'm Cindy, q***r wedding planner in Seattle. The best part?

I help LGBTQ+ and offbeat couples plan meaningful weddings without all of the stress. We're here for all kinds of couples, but we're extra here for folks who are usually ignored by the wedding industry: those of y'all who are not white, straight, cisgender, thin, and/or able-bodied. If that's you, we might be just the feminist wedding planning team you are looking for. We are really into helping y

ou plan a celebration that suits YOU - which frequently requires giving wedding traditions and the wedding industry the middle finger and doing your own thing. It's super important to us that everyone who has managed to find the person they want to marry have access to wedding planning, no matter what size your budget is or what kind of party you want to throw! We also offer a range of planning services, from an hour-long consultation and small, focused sessions designed to address specific planning challenges to wedding coordination and full-service, completely done-for-you wedding planning and design. And, I invented Alt+Ctrl+Wed™ - a wedding planning membership where I brain dump all my wedding planner knowledge into an organized and completely virtual planning program for you. You can access step-by-step videos, workbooks, templates, and spreadsheets 24/7 in our online portal. Plus, ask us anything, anytime in our private Discord community so you get all the answers you need. It's offered on an affordable sliding scale. We're based in Seattle, WA, and travel throughout the Pacific Northwest. The majority of our planning process will happen via Zoom, email, or phone calls, so no matter where you are, we CAN plan together! Virtual planning packages are available for weddings in other places and we'll be happy to coordinate a handoff to your local planner for a smooth wedding weekend. Sound good? SWEET. We can't wait to see you in our inbox!

Andy and Victor had the most epic wedding (and a killer birthday bash) thanks to our team! But don’t take our word for it — check out what they had to say!

“I tell everyone that the best money I have ever spent was on professional movers and the second best money I have ever spent was with Aisle Less Traveled. And that’s a close call!

Cindy and her team planned our wedding and my husband’s 40th birthday party, and both went phenomenally well. Cindy and her team heard some of our ideas and translated them into reality so beautifully that it was hard to believe my eyes. They made for absolutely perfect experiences and we were not stressed out at all on the day of. Whatever issues came up, they solved. The team was reliable, on time, on budget, and so easy to work with. If you find yourself able to work with Cindy, do it. You will be so glad you did.”

-ANDY & VICTOR

Thrilled to be featured, along with our clients Sprague & Andi, on KING 5's story about the 10th anniversary of the Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court ruling that legalized marriage equality nationwide.

Personally, I've seen a lot of change over this decade - but we have a long way yet to go.

Happy Pride! Keep fighting.

Same-sex couples say so much has changed since marriage equality became the law of the land in 2015, and yet, they still worry about what the future could hold.

Alternative Wedding Planning For Independent, Feminist, & LGBTQ+ People in Seattle and Beyond

Hi, I’m Cindy, your q***r feminist wedding planner. I help independent, feminist, and LGBTQ+ couples like you plan meaningful weddings without all the stress. I’m based in Seattle, but I love to travel so much that it’s included for the entire continental US in all of my packages!

I offer a wide range of wedding planning services from wedding planning subscriptions for DIY-ers to my signature wedding management package to full-service, start-to-finish wedding planning and design, plus a la carte options you can mix and match. If you want to plan with me, I’ve got something that will fit your needs and your budget. With modern technology, I’m a mostly virtual wedding planner – so we can work together no matter where you (or your wedding) are located.

Enough about me, though – let’s talk about YOU!

Except that now you have to actually plan a wedding.

Tell me if this is you:

You started planning on your own because how hard could it be?

You’ve lost countless hours scouring the internet trying to figure out how this whole wedding planning thing works.

You’ve tried to narrow a vision down on Pinterest, but there were eleventy-million good ideas so now you have 7 different perfect weddings planned – but you’re not sure any of them are actually what you and your partner want.

You’ve turned to the blogs for inspiration, only to find a sea of cookie-cutter weddings, a bride-centric narrative, and not a single couple who looks like the two of you.

Unsolicited opinions are flying at you from all directions, and people keep saying things like “You have to _______” and “But that’s the way weddings are done!”

In short, you've discovered the complete f**kery that is wedding planning and eloping is starting to look really damn good.

News Flash: You Need A Wedding Planner!

(And you need it to be someone who just gets you.)

Someone who won’t shove you into a wedding-industry-shaped box. Someone who thinks your quirky couple things are rad and who celebrates your love equally and who will question the patriarchy along the way with you.

Oh yeah, and someone who maybe has done this a few times before.

Take a deep breath and let me handle this. It's what I do - and I'm really good at it.

Together, we can plan the YOU-est wedding there ever could be – and we’ll probably even have fun doing it.
