How are We Different?

Aisle Plan Your Day provides an alternative to planning the typical “resort wedding.” Instead of sharing your “once in a lifetime” moments with strangers at a busy all-Inclusive resort, we specialize in planning private destination wedding celebrations in Paradise. We source private & intimate venues to host your special day, within close proximity to your selected resort. This allows our couples the opportunity to fully customize every aspect of the wedding, down to the finest of details. Instead of selecting from a resort wedding package that may not be a good fit to your overall wedding day vision, we instead plan your destination wedding the same you would, if you were to be married in your hometown. This means, sourcing the perfect venue to say your “I do’s”, and selecting from top vendors that you feel are a good fit your overall vision and can provide you a diverse range of options and pricing to suit your budget. Hosting your epic destination wedding at a private venue means that you will have less restrictions, and more of an opportunity to personalize your big day. There are no pre-set resort wedding packages to select from here! We believe that every couple is unique, and your wedding should be too.

Do we also plan weddings on resorts? Absolutely! If you are planning an intimate celebration or looking to plan a vow renewal or an elopement, we can certainly assist you in navigating the sometimes, confusing wedding packages on resorts, to best suit your needs. There are resort chains that offer amazing services and provide wedding packages that allow you to personalize and customize your celebration and we can help you navigate which properties may be better to consider over others. We work closely with resorts and wedding departments and are well versed on what to expect with a resort wedding. We can help guide you on external vendor fees, rain out plan policies, how to accommodate restrictive timelines and considerations on how to personalize the offered wedding packages.

There is no shortage of beautiful destinations and wedding venues around the world, and yes… this task can seem daunting…. but this is where we come in! Aisle Plan Your Day has partnered with an elite travel firm that specializes in group romance travel. We offer our clients the luxury of an “All- In- One” destination planning & travel service team. When working with your dedicated wedding planning & travel team at Aisle Plan Your Day, we guide you in selecting the perfect destination and map out the entire process for you every step of the way! 

Although we offer our services for any destination in the world, the all inclusive hot spots are in demand. We specialize in destination weddings to St. Lucia, Jamaica, Mexico, Dominican Republic and Barbados. We have personally travelled to and inspected most resorts and wedding venues in these countries, so as to continue our efforts in being the experts that you require.  

Our approach is focused on bringing our clients an authentic experience. We will be beside you every step of the way, through every decision… big or small, from first contact to the last dance. We believe that planning a wedding should be fun! Let us prove it to you. 

We'd love to work with you!

"Wherever you go... go with all of your heart"... and why not travel to your own little paradise to say your "I Do's" like Paulina and Mike did at this private beach club in Dominican Republic.  Stunning ♥️♥️♥️

Just as important as a bride's wedding day acccessories are the groom's special touches to his outfit too... We are loving the playful touch of Rodrigo's flamingo socks and custom dress shoes for his big day!

After having to postpone their wedding plans, yet again.. due to the pandemic, Anj and Amish made the decision to elope. In just 3 short weeks, we planned their secret elopement with an amazing group of vendors. The intimate ceremony took place in the private reserve library of Quails Gate winery in Kelowna, BC where they exchanged their vows in front of the barrel room. It was epic!

As we approach the end of this year, saying that "2020 has been a tough year" is literally the understatement of 2020. My year began with an optimistic to-do list and lots of achievable goals.  Everything was going great, and then covid hit. Its been a year of tears & struggles and heartbreak for so many.

The winds of change are going to be with us for a long time... but we will overcome.  And this is not ALL bad. Whatever made this year a difficult one, I encourage you to take the time to find some good from such a devastating twist in plans. 

The world stood together in the face of adversity. This gives me hope. Hope that we, as parents, can lead by example. That we become the change that we want to see in the world. That we teach our children to be smart, safe and kind. And that home isn’t found within the walls of a home, but wherever we are with family. And that kids are resilient. 

And to my couples... LOVE IS NOT CANCELLED! 

I pray that you are able to find the good. That you are able to find the comfort of knowing you are never alone. That you are able to find the lesson and the way to reach others. 2020 may seem like it was a year we want to forget, but let’s never forget the lessons. We can enter 2021 more resilient and ready for whatever trials come our way. I know that I will be holding my family that much closer and am optimistic of a brighter 2021.

Hello Instagram 👋

It's been awhile...where did the last 6 months even go? Like for real! What a whirlwind, I feel like I am finally coming up for air! 

I've been busy working behind the scenes alongside my amazing couples (and when I say amazing... I mean AH-MAAAZING!!!) 

We have been navigating wedding plans on what feels like a a roller-coaster amid this global pandemic, and I am truly grateful to my couples who have trusted the process as we progress through each planning stage together.

2021 and 2022 are going to be host to some of the most epic wedding celebrations to date... spanning all across the Caribbean, Mexico and our gorgeous mountains in Alberta! We even have a couple secret elopements in the works ♥️ 

If your looking for any assistance in planning your destination wedding, or have any questions on how to navigate your current plans...don't hesitate to reach out... Id love to help guide you at any stage of your planning process. We're in this together!!!! Trust me, I get it!

Can you Imagine yourself dancing the night away here with your closest family and friends?!! The florals and overflowing greenery , the chandeliers, the wrapped dance floor, the lighting... its all "spot on" perfection!

Id love to help you plan an epic celebration here so contact us today!
