One of Aisle Planner’s standout features is the checklist. I encourage all our couples to use this tool. Once you are in check off all the things you have done or are not interested in doing for your wedding. This will give us a good idea of where you are at in the planning process. You can assign tasks and set deadlines, helping everyone stay on track.
