Can I use Aisle with a venue I already booked?
Yes. Add your venue and start with your website, guest list and rooms. You do not need to book a venue through Aisle.
What does Aisle actually do?
Aisle is one place for a destination wedding: the venue search, the guest website, the guest list, RSVPs per event, hotel room blocks that guests book and pay for themselves, travel and transport, seating, budget and registry, email and text broadcasts, and an AI planner named Elena who can make the changes rather than only suggest them. Membership costs $19.99 USD a month after a seven-day card-required trial. Texting starts after the first payment; domain purchases and guest-payment fees are separate.
Can guests book and pay for their hotel room through my wedding website?
Yes. You hold blocks at one or more properties, list the rooms and their nightly price, and a guest books and pays without leaving your site. The money settles to your own bank account through Stripe. Aisle keeps 5%, and you choose whether that comes out of your payout or is added to the guest total as a visible line.
Does Aisle handle RSVPs for more than one event?
Yes. Each event has its own audience, so a guest sees only what they were invited to, and one headline reply fills in every event they are invited to. If a guest answers a single event differently, that answer survives later changes to their overall reply. Meals and dietary notes are recorded per event rather than once for the whole weekend.
Can I use my own domain for my wedding website?
Yes. Connecting a domain you own is included with membership. Domain purchases are billed annually at the price shown before you buy; renewal is quoted separately. We email you 30 days before renewal and charge 14 days before expiry if renewal is enabled.
Do my guests need an app or an account?
No. A guest opens your link in a browser and verifies with their phone number. There is nothing to download, no password, and no account to create. Guests who only gave you an email address can still read the site.
Can I group guests and message only some of them?
Yes. Tag guests into groups such as college friends or the Thursday dinner, and put households into one party that can reply together. Broadcasts and event audiences both read those groups, so you can text only the guests staying at one hotel or only the ones who have not replied yet.
Does Aisle send text messages to guests?
Yes, to guests with US phone numbers, which is a carrier restriction rather than a plan limit. Use email to reach guests elsewhere. Texting is off during the free trial and turns on with a paid membership. Guests can reply to a text, and Elena can answer routine questions from your real schedule unless you turn her off.
What can Elena do that a chatbot cannot?
Elena has tools connected to your wedding. She adds events, imports a pasted guest list, assigns rooms, applies a site theme, updates RSVPs, and answers guest texts from your live schedule. She also runs on the public site before you have an account, and anything you tell her there carries into your dashboard when you sign up.
Is there a free version of Aisle?
Create your account, add guests, edit your site and organize your checklist for free. Publishing, event management, rooms and guest communications require membership. The membership is what takes it live to guests: $19.99 a month with the first seven days free. Separately, the venue directory, the planning tools, the templates, and the example wedding need no account at all.
What happens to my wedding website after the wedding?
Cancel whenever the planning is done and the guest site stays online, photo gallery included. Your data stays exportable. The dashboard returns to free preview; publishing, sends and payment management require membership.
