Key Takeaways

  • That’s The One is the modern alternative to Aisle Planner, it streamlines operations into one platform—client CRM and proposals with e-signatures, planning, guests, and floorplans—helping planners save time, reduce admin, and create a seamless, high-end experience that stands out.

  • Unlike Aisle Planner, That’s The One allows planners to customise the entire client journey with their own branding, from digital invitations and RSVPs to budgets, checklists, and floorplans.

  • That's The One is available in 7 languages (English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Polish, Portuguese) and over 20 currencies (ideal for destination events!).

  • That’s The One is £45/month (~$57 USD) with unlimited events, unlimited collaborators, and a 30-day free trial. It is more cost effective than Aisle Planner’s project-volume tiers.

    Planner Testimonials - Don't Just Take Our Words For It

    What ex-Aisle Planner Users Said About That’s The One:

    Testimonials from wedding planners who switched to That's The One

    Many ex-AP users have pointed out that while their software offers a range of wedding-specific tools, it falls short in terms of customization and user experience. That’s The One (TTO) addresses these shortcomings by providing a more intuitive interface and highly customizable options, making it easier for modern wedding professionals to manage their tasks efficiently.

    For many, TTO has been a game changer in transforming their business. It significantly enhances efficiency and effectiveness, especially for those targeting a luxury market. Users have reported improved client experiences with TTO.

    Hear one planner’s switching story first-hand in our Pinnacle Weddings interview.

    “Aisle Planner wasn’t able to deliver a good enough experience for us, especially when we expanded into destination weddings. TTO's guest management features, like the RSVP, guestlist, ecards are so advanced - that it makes it so easy to collect, manage and communicate updates with guests. For example, I can share a bespoke message, just to guests travelling in, asking them for their flight information.

    We also love how the floorplan is also automatically synced with the guest dietaries in a very clear way. Aisle Planner didn’t clearly show who had an allergy/dietary requirement which created additional manual work for us. TTO breaks it down so much more clearly and made it easy for us to share with the venue and catering team.”  - Parvy, CEO of Destination Snob

    “TTO halved my planning time. Clients love the real-time updates, and I love the simplicity of having everything in one place.” – Sarah M., Destination Wedding Planner

    “The streamlined guestlist manager, seating plan, and accommodation tools give us hours back, especially for international weddings!” – Nicole, CEO & Founder of Nicole Please Weddings

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    1. What makes That’s The One a better alternative to Aisle Planner?

    That’s The One offers better value with unlimited events, real-time collaboration, multi-language and multi-currency support, and a modern, intuitive user experience—without charging more as your business grows. Additionally, AP's tiered cost structure can become expensive, whereas TTO provides better value with its flat pricing model.

    1. How is pricing different between the two softwares?

    Aisle Planner starts from $49.99/month and scales by project volume, which can quickly become expensive. That’s The One is £45/month (~$57 USD) with unlimited events, unlimited collaborators, and a 30-day free trial — a flat, predictable cost that modern event professionals love.

    1. Can I plan non-wedding events with That’s The One?

    Yes! That’s The One is designed to support all types of events, not just weddings, making it relevant for event planners as a whole. You can also label events — for example by type or status — to keep a multi-event calendar organised. AP is limited to weddings only.

    1. Is onboarding easier with That’s The One?

    Absolutely. That’s The One provides a 1:1 onboarding call and rich video tutorials, while Aisle Planner relies mainly on written guides and has a steeper learning curve. TTO offers different pricing plans to suit various needs, making it easier to get started.

    1. What kind of customer support can I expect?

    That’s The One offers dedicated chat support from 9am–6pm GMT and email assistance after hours. AP only offers support via email.

    1. Does That’s The One help with guest and RSVP management?

    Yes. It includes a single RSVP link, custom questions, multi-event support, +1s, and guest matching via phone or email—all of which AP lacks or limits.

    1. Can I track payments and budgets more effectively with That’s The One?

    Definitely. That’s The One gives you a clear overview of payments, tracks multiple currencies, and automates reminders. AP lacks a proper payments overview and only supports single-currency budgets. Note that TTO tracks payments rather than processing them — for invoicing, payment processing, contractor payouts and 1099s, pair TTO with Maroo.

    1. Does That’s The One include a client CRM, proposals and e-signatures?

    Yes. TTO includes a client CRM with lead capture and pipeline tracking, branded proposals, reusable contract templates with e-signatures, client status tracking, and PDF export — so you can run leads, proposals and contracts in the same place you plan the event.

    1. Are custom websites and digital invites available?

    Yes! That’s The One includes modern, mobile-friendly wedding websites and unlimited digital ecards with custom designs—features not offered by AP. TTO is a complete software solution with multifaceted capabilities, making it an essential platform for managing all aspects of event planning processes.

    1. How often does That’s The One release new features?

    That’s The One is in active development with weekly product updates. AP’s updates are much slower and less frequent.
