Introduction to TTO

That's The One, known as TTO, is a online platform designed to simplify the wedding planning process for modern event professionals and their clients. This all-in-one platform offers a range of tools and features to help wedding planning businesses streamline their workflow and enhance client satisfaction. With its easy-to-use interface and customizable templates, TTO is the perfect solution for the wedding industry.

Don't Just Take Our Words For It

What ex-Aisle Planner Users Said About 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.

“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
