Aisle Planner review
Project-based planning software for wedding planners and event pros, with seating, timelines and client portals.
Aisle Planner is the most wedding-specific of the pro tools: a planner gets seating, timelines, budgets and an RSVP website for each client from $69.99/mo. Couples should not buy it (they can't sign up on their own anymore); if your planner uses it, you'll get a free client login and that's the only way in.

Who Aisle Planner is for
Pick it if: Independent wedding planners and small planning firms who want seating, timelines and guest RSVP inside the same tool as their proposals and invoices.
Skip it if: Couples planning their own wedding, since couple accounts were discontinued and it only works if your planner invites you.
What we like, and what to watch out for
What we like
- Wedding-specific tools in one login: checklists, timelines, budgets, vendor contacts, floor layouts, seating and a guest website with RSVP.
- Every project plan includes the full planning suite; tiers differ only by number of active projects (15, 25, 50, 100).
- Unlimited team users on all plans, plus a branded client portal where couples can comment and see progress.
- Seating tool exports a PDF guest report with table assignments, meal counts and special notes for the venue.
- Annual billing saves 10% (for example $62.99/mo instead of $69.99/mo for up to 15 projects).
Watch out for
- No native iOS or Android app; on-site use means the mobile browser.
- The $49.99/mo Sales Essentials plan has no planning tools at all, so planners realistically start at $69.99/mo.
- Couples can no longer sign up on their own: the founder letter says free and paid couple tools were discontinued.
- Very few recent public reviews (2 on Capterra), and one 2026 review describes a failed ACH payment and a $50 fee.
- Free trial requires a credit card.

Costs that are easy to miss
- 30-day free trial requires a credit card up front.
- Sales tax may be added on top of listed prices.
- Price scales with the number of active projects, so a busy season means a higher bill.
