About Aisle Advisor

We scan contracts for a living. Here’s ours with you.

We read the fine print in wedding vendor contracts every day. It’s only fair you get to read ours: five commitments, in plain language.

Reviews can’t be bought back
Our contract with couples
1.

No review is ever removed because a vendor paid. Not for $299 a month. Not for any price.

2.

Your identity is hashed, never stored. We verify by wedding date and vendor, then anonymize with SHA-256. There is nothing to subpoena.

3.

Everything here is free for couples. The directory, the reviews, the contract scanner. Forever.

4.

Money never moves a ranking. Vendors can’t buy placement, and partner commissions never touch a score.

5.

We make money through affiliate partnerships. When couples use a partner service we recommend, the partner pays us. Vendors never do.

Why this exists

Our mission

The truth is not for sale.

The problem: the major wedding platforms let vendors who pay premium fees suppress negative reviews. Couples trust those reviews with decisions worth thousands of dollars, never knowing what’s been hidden. When a photographer sits on photos for 8 months, or a venue has 12 couples sign illegal gag clauses, that information gets buried.

Our answer is built on three protections:

True anonymity: verified through wedding date and vendor pairing, then anonymized. No personal data is stored.

AI contract scanning: upload a vendor contract and we flag illegal, unenforceable, and concerning clauses before you sign.

Pattern detection: “8 couples reported never receiving photos” tells you more than a single 1-star review ever could.

The toolkit

How it works

Anonymous & verified

We verify reviews through wedding date and vendor pairing, then apply SHA-256 hashing to remove all personally identifiable information. Protected, but still credible.

Contract scanner

Our AI analyzes vendor contracts against Georgia law and federal CRFA protections. We flag illegal clauses, unenforceable terms, and provisions that leave you vulnerable.

Pattern detection

We aggregate common complaints to surface systemic issues. When 15% of reviews mention “late delivery,” that’s a pattern worth knowing, not a one-off complaint.

Editorial policy

What we never do

  • Sell review removal
  • Rank vendors by advertising spend
  • Charge couples anything
  • Store your identity
  • Let a partner touch a score

The full editorial policy is public: every rule, every exception, in writing.

How we make money

Who pays us what

Couples$0, always
Vendors, for placement or removal$0, not for sale
Affiliate partners like insurance and legal reviewreferral fees

Affiliate partnerships are how we make money. They never influence a review, a score, or a ranking. Read more about how we make money.

Standing behind it

Backed by federal law

Section 230

We’re a platform, not a publisher. Honest reviews from real couples are protected speech, and we’re legally prepared for vendors who disagree.

Consumer Review Fairness Act

The gag clauses some vendors put in contracts are federally illegal. Our scanner flags them, and your right to review is protected by 15 USC § 45b.
