The Reality

What many couples discover
while planning a destination wedding.

01

The inspiration gap

Some venue photos can feel quite different in person. We help you see beyond the photos, highlighting the practical logistics that can make or break your wedding day.

02

How recommendations work

Planners often collaborate closely with selected vendors, and partnerships can influence recommendations.

03

Flexibility along the way

Making changes during the planning process can sometimes involve extra costs, depending on the setup.

04

The legal side

Depending on your home country, it may be more challenging to get married legally overseas. It's helpful to check this in advance.

Our goal is to help couples feel more informed, confident, and in control throughout the wedding planning process.

Caitlin · Founder

Our Philosophy

An honest seat at your table.

Hi, I'm Caitlin. I started my journey in events ten years ago in Cape Town, and I truly feel it's my calling to help couples bring their dream wedding to life.

Since then, my career has taken me to Mexico, Zanzibar, Gibraltar, Mallorca, and Bali; incredible experiences that combined my love for event management, people, culture, and travel.

But I also saw how the industry really works. Time and again, I watched couples feel overwhelmed, locked into packages, or hit with unexpected costs. Most of them had no idea what was normal, and that never sat right with me.

That's why I created The Aisle Advisors.

We're wedding consultants, not wedding planners. We provide independent, expert guidance at the start of your planning journey or at any stage along the way. Whether you're planning your wedding yourself or already have a planner, we're here to help you make confident, informed decisions.

We're here to provide honest, expert guidance through one-to-one consultations and downloadable planning tools, so you can plan your wedding with confidence, avoid costly mistakes, and enjoy the journey with complete transparency.

Our Process

Here is exactly what happens
when you reach out to us.

No surprises. No waiting around wondering what comes next. This is our process from the moment you contact us to the moment you receive everything.

i

Step OneYou fill in our short questionnaire

Before your free call, we'll ask you to complete a short questionnaire with your budget, preferred area, ideal date, guest count, and any ideas you already have. That way, when we speak, we can skip the basics and focus on what matters for your wedding.

ii

Step TwoWe have your free call

A relaxed call where we listen, ask the right questions, and tell you what's achievable on your budget.

iii

Step ThreeWe get to work

After your call, we spend up to a week creating your personalized plan: vendor shortlist, venue availability, pricing, budget estimate, contract review, and tailored recommendations.

iv

Step FourWe deliver everything to you

Within a week you receive a written plan with vendor recommendations, contacts, and next steps, ready to act on.

We take up to one week because we do this properly. You deserve real research and real recommendations, not something put together in ten minutes.

Optional Add-On

Want us to handle the bookings for you?

Our vendor list comes with transparent pricing and everything you need to contact vendors directly and book them yourself. We give you the information, what you do with it is entirely up to you.

But if you would rather not deal with the emails, the back and forth, the briefings, the timelines, and the day-of reminders, we can handle all of that for you. For a small flat booking fee our team takes care of every vendor communication from first contact to confirmed booking. No hidden commissions. No markups. Just a fair fee for our time.

Single vendor booking

$95 USD · per vendor

  • All vendor communication handled on your behalf, from initial enquiry through booking confirmation and final pre-wedding coordination
  • Availability check and quote request handled on your behalf
  • A clear written brief sent to your vendor with your exact requirements
  • Timeline coordination so your booking fits seamlessly with the rest of your day
  • One confirmation update to you once everything is locked in
  • No hidden commissions, no markups, a flat fee, nothing more
Add to Cart

Full Vendor Booking (Done-For-You)

$897 USD · all-inclusive · up to 8 vendors

You provide your vetted vendor list. We become your single point of contact and handle every vendor conversation, from the first enquiry through booking confirmation and final pre-wedding coordination, so you can skip the back-and-forth entirely.

  • All vendor communication handled on your behalf, from first contact through booking, planning coordination, and final pre-wedding confirmation
  • Availability checks, quote requests, and final confirmations handled for you
  • A clear written brief sent to every vendor on your behalf

What this is not: we're not on the ground on your wedding day. If you need day-of coordination, we can connect you with a vetted local coordinator (separate service).

Not a wedding planning service, an on the day coordination referral

Need someone there
on the day?

We are not wedding planners and we are not on the ground managing your day. But we know that many venues require someone physically present to coordinate vendors, manage the timeline, and make sure everything runs smoothly. That is why we have built a network of vetted independent local coordinators who we trust completely.

If you need someone on the day, or in the weeks leading up to it, we will connect you with the right person for your wedding. They come in, do a full handover with you, and are there from start to finish on the day so you can actually enjoy your wedding instead of managing it.

What this includes

Perfectly Matched Coordination

We introduce you to a vetted independent local coordinator carefully matched to your venue, wedding style, and overall vision.

Seamless Pre-Wedding Handover

Four weeks before the wedding, your coordinator receives a full briefing covering your vendors, timeline, logistics, and all final details.

Full Wedding Day Management

From setup to the end of the evening, your coordinator manages vendors, oversees the timeline, and handles any issues behind the scenes so you can fully enjoy your day.

One Trusted Point of Contact

Your coordinator communicates directly with your vendors leading up to the wedding and acts as the main point of contact for vendors, guests, and family on the day itself.

Pricing varies depending on your wedding. Book a free call and we will find the right fit for you.

Testimonials

Words from couples
we've worked with.

"
★★★★★
"Caitlin saved us thousands, but more than that, she saved us from making decisions we'd have regretted. She was honest when our first venue wasn't right, and her shortlist was perfect."

Ellie & Tom

Bali · 2025

"
★★★★★
"Planning a wedding in South Africa from New York felt impossible. Our first call with Caitlin lasted two hours and by the end we had a clear picture of what was realistic for our budget. She steered us away from two vendors who, as she put it, 'charge international prices but deliver local service.' We celebrated at a private estate in Stellenbosch at golden hour, it was everything we dreamed of. The Cape Malay catering she sourced was an unexpected touch that every guest still talks about."

Lauren & James Whitfield

Cape Town · March 2025

"
★★★★★
"We fell in love with Mallorca after a holiday in Valldemossa but had no idea how to navigate the local wedding industry. Caitlin was upfront from day one: high season in Mallorca is competitive and vendors know they can charge a premium to foreigners. She negotiated our finca rental in the Serra de Tramuntana and brought in a local catering team from Palma that was half the price of the venue's recommended supplier, with better food. Our ceremony at sunset overlooking the Mediterranean was absolutely perfect."

Clara & Finn Andersen

Mallorca · June 2024

★★★★★
"I didn't want a wedding planner, I wanted a wedding expert. That's exactly what this is. The vendor list alone was worth every dollar."

Sofia & Marc

Bali · 2024

"
★★★★★
"We were drawn to Cape Town for the scenery but nervous about the logistics of an overseas wedding. Caitlin was the one person who told us the truth: which months to avoid, which photographers actually know how to shoot against the bright Atlantic light, and how to negotiate the venue's F&B minimums. She also flagged a clause in our original venue contract that would have cost us an extra $2,200 if we'd signed it as-is. Honest, sharp, and incredibly well-connected. Worth every cent."

Sophie & Niall Brennan

Cape Town · January 2026

"
★★★★★
"We'd been quoted insane prices by three different Mallorca wedding planners before finding Aisle Advisors. Caitlin's approach is completely different. She's not selling you a package, she's protecting you. She helped us secure Finca Albellons for our reception, connected us with an incredible local wine supplier from Binissalem DO, and made sure we weren't overpaying on florals just because we had a foreign postcode. The whole day ran flawlessly and came in $2,000 under what we'd originally been quoted elsewhere."

Emily & Oliver Strauss

Mallorca · September 2025

"
★★★★★
"Planning from Sydney felt impossible until I found this. The honest feedback on contracts caught two red flags I'd have missed."

Jade & Luca

Bali · 2025

"
★★★★★
"As a South African couple, we thought we knew how the local wedding industry worked; we didn't. Vendors quote one price to locals and another the moment they see a big venue or a planner involved. Caitlin helped us cut through that completely. She connected us with a Bokaap-based photographer who captured the colour of the neighbourhood in a way that felt real, and found us a micro-venue in the Cape Winelands near Paarl that wasn't even listed online. Our families drove up from Johannesburg and Durban and couldn't believe what we'd pulled off at that budget."

Lerato & Brendan Dlamini

Cape Town · April 2026

"
★★★★★
"What I appreciated most about working with Caitlin was that she never tried to upsell us. We had a clear budget, she respected it, and she found us the most beautiful cortijo in the Raiguer region with views of the Tramuntana mountains, we could not have found on our own. She warned us about a specific catering company that had terrible reviews in the local expat community, something no wedding blog would ever tell you. Our guests flew in from five countries, and every single one said it was the most beautiful wedding they'd ever attended."

FAQ

Questions we hear most.

No. We are wedding advisors. We do not plan, coordinate, or manage your wedding day. We give you the knowledge, the tools, and the vetted contacts to do it yourself, with expert support whenever you need it.
A planner manages your wedding and typically earns commissions from the vendors they recommend. We work for you, not the vendors. We give you independent advice, transparent pricing, and vetted contacts so you stay in control of every decision and every dollar.
Never. Zero. We do not accept commissions, kickbacks, or referral fees from any vendor. Our only income comes from the packages and services you see on this page. Every recommendation we make is in your interest, not ours.
Yes. Completely free, no strings attached. We use the call to understand your situation and tell you honestly what is achievable. If we are not the right fit, we will tell you that too.
That is fine. Many of our clients work with a planner and use us as an independent second opinion. We help you understand whether what your planner is recommending is fair, whether the pricing is right, and whether there are better options available.
Absolutely. Every resource we include in our packages is available individually in our à la carte section. Buy exactly what you need, nothing more. And if you decide you want the full package later, everything you have already purchased counts towards it.
We are not wedding planners and we are not on the ground managing your day. But we have a network of vetted independent local coordinators we trust completely. Pricing varies depending on your wedding, book a free call and we will find the right fit for you.
Your first call with us is always free. After that, you can book individual calls with our team for $75 USD each, no package required. Use us as much or as little as you need.
No. We specialise in Bali, Mallorca, and Cape Town because we genuinely love these three destinations and have hands-on experience with their venues, vendors, and local wedding industry. If you're considering one of these locations, we know the terrain. Getting married somewhere else? We'd still love to help. While we only offer vendor recommendations in destinations we know personally, we can still provide expert planning advice, wherever you're getting married.
We fell in love with these destinations long before we built a business around them. We've spent years living and working in each, giving us first-hand knowledge of the local wedding industry and trusted relationships with vendors. They're also three of the world's most sought-after destination wedding locations, and some of the hardest to navigate. We've done the research, so you don't have to.
Because these places have shaped a big part of who we are. From growing up in Cape Town to calling Bali and Spain home. Weddings have always been our passion, and we've been incredibly fortunate to build our careers in destinations we truly love. Living and working here has given us more than industry knowledge. We've immersed ourselves in the local culture, built genuine relationships, discovered the hidden gems, and learnt what makes each destination so special. Our advice comes from real experience, not Google searches.
Every wedding is different, so there's no fixed amount. Our goal isn't simply to make your wedding cheaper; it's to help you spend your budget wisely. Through trusted recommendations, honest advice, and avoiding costly mistakes, many couples find that our guidance saves them far more than our advisory fee while creating a better overall wedding experience.
Absolutely. Choosing between Bali, Mallorca, and Cape Town isn't just about aesthetics; it depends on your guest list, travel logistics, budget, and the time of year. We help couples make that decision based on real data, not Instagram.
Book a free discovery call. It's 30 minutes, there's no commitment, and you'll leave knowing exactly whether we're the right fit and what working together would look like. We keep our calendar intentionally small so every couple gets real attention, not a template.
Yes, arguably more so. If you have a smaller wedding budget, overpaying by 20% hurts far more than it would on a larger one. We help couples at every budget level spend smarter, not more.
It's never too soon. In fact, the earlier you start, the better. Couples who come to us after they've already signed contracts have fewer options. Come early, leave with a plan.
