Aisle Planner: for Collaborative Planning
We handle all the planning and administrative tasks on behalf of our clients, so finding a platform that is intuitive and easy to navigate was crucial. After careful consideration, we chose Aisle Planner, a platform specifically designed for wedding planners. However, couples who are comfortable with project management will also find it highly useful, even without the assistance of a planner.
The software offers a comprehensive suite of tools, and we primarily use it for managing checklists (for both our team and the client), tracking event budgets, creating floor plans, seating arrangements, schedules, and maintaining important notes like menu selections and group photo lists. The capabilities are extensive.
The most valuable feature is the ‘Contacts’ section, where we create detailed profiles for each vendor, including proposals, visual inspiration, contracts, invoices, and a built-in payment schedule that can send automatic payment reminders to the client.
In our experience, Aisle Planner is the most collaborative and efficient software currently available for wedding planning.

Hitched: The One-Stop Wedding Shop
One word: Hitched.
It’s a literal one-stop shop for all things weddings.
Hitched has various tools like a checklist, a budget planner, a guest manager, and a table planner, and of course, you have the directory part of the app to find all the suppliers you could ever need. Hitched allows people to create a custom wedding website (which is very popular these days), and these can be easily customised for whatever the couple is looking for.
Along with all the tools, the app is user-friendly (even for people who aren’t the best with tech). You can use Hitched on your phone, tablet, desktop, etc.
Every feature you could ever need in one place. They have trustworthy suppliers (with a review showcase), and it’s user-friendly.
