Aisle vs GettingMarried

Aisle helps couples plan destination weddings with venue discovery, a wedding website, guest management, RSVPs, room planning, and payments. Couples can import guest lists from spreadsheets, arrange households and groups, add plus ones, and export guest details; the standard limit is 600 guests per wedding. Guests can reply to individual events, choose meals, share dietary notes, and answer up to twelve custom questions. Room bookings and payments run through the wedding site using the couple’s connected Stripe account, with a 5% Aisle fee. Guest messages can be sent by email, SMS, and WhatsApp. Texting starts with the first membership payment; international SMS delivery depends on destination and carrier, and WhatsApp requires guest permission. Elena, the AI planner, can help find venues, estimate budgets, organize guests, and update wedding details and events. Aisle connects with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible assistants, but accessing wedding details requires sign-in and making changes requires a membership. The free setup plan costs nothing. Membership is $19.99 USD / month, with seven days free with a card.

GettingMarried is a web service that brings wedding websites, guest-list management, RSVP collection, gift lists, and planning tools together for couples in the UK. Couples can choose themes, fonts, colours, and layouts for a personalised site, which guests can access through a web address or a QR code on invitations. The Guest List stores guest details, assigns guests to events, and collects RSVP and menu choices. Email Stationery covers Save-the-Dates, invitations, thank-you notes, and guest messages. GiftFund can send contributions to PayPal, Monzo, Revolut, or bank transfer accounts without a fee; external gift lists can also be linked. Menu Manager records dietary requirements and allergies for caterers, while Table Planner handles seating assignments and downloads for venues. The Free plan supports up to 75 guests. Essentials is £45, paid once and supports up to 120 guests; Plus is £89, paid once and allows unlimited guests. Free and Essentials use Simple RSVP, which requires manual status updates; Automated RSVP requires GM+ membership. Accounts stay open for three months after the registered wedding date.
