Aisle vs WeddingDonkey

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.
