Aisle combines a wedding website with guest lists, room bookings, guest payments and planning tools. Couples can use a venue they already booked or search its directories. In Aisle, couples can list accommodation, allocate rooms and let guests book and pay through the wedding website. They can also share travel information and event schedules. These are useful tasks to test with a sample household before choosing a platform.
Free core website and guest tools; optional paid upgrades. Aisle lets you build and preview your site for free. Publishing and the membership planning tools cost $19.99 USD per month after a seven-day trial with a card required. Guest payments collected through Aisle have a 5% platform fee. Domain purchases are separate, and texting starts with the first membership payment. Compare the published plan and domain terms, and check payment charges separately from the website price.
Aisle supports households, event invitations, per-event replies and meal choices. Guests use the phone number or email on the guest list to find their invitation in a browser. Additional code verification depends on your access settings. The standard limit is 600 guests per wedding; contact support about larger lists. Joy supports online rsvps and guest-specific event visibility. Test a household, a meal choice and an invitation to only one event to check that the workflow fits your plans.
Joy offers customizable wedding templates, with integrated registry and cash fund options. Aisle has a wedding editor and can connect custom sites through its API. You can link an external registry from Aisle; use one clear place for guests to RSVP and another only where it serves a specific purpose.
Keep a copy of your guest list and check the export options in your current service. Aisle can import a CSV guest list, but website designs, historical messages, payments and registry purchases should not be assumed to transfer. Test the new site before updating the link your guests use.
