Wedding Planning

If your Pinterest board could plan your wedding, it would look like ALTARE.

A rebellious wedding planning app with expert-backed tools for couples who want to do things their way, while making it widely unforgettable for everyone

PLANNING YOUR DREAM WEDDING SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE A FULL-TIME JOB.

PLANNING YOUR DREAM WEDDING SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE A FULL-TIME JOB.

Here's What Makes ALTARE Different From Everything You've Seen In The Wedding Industry: —

Rooted in real weddings, not random blogs

Everything inside ALTARE comes from real wedding planners who've done this hundreds of times (not random internet checklists from boring couples in 2009)

Quarterly planning = your new secret wedding weapon

We'll help you split your planning period into four easy parts so you always know what's next, without the doom-spiral.

Strategic tools for creative couples

Think vibey moodboards that nearly build themselves, budget calculators that don't give you major anxiety, and video tutorials so you don't have to guess and go.

Support when you want it, freedom when you don't

Book a call, upgrade your bundle, and cancel whenever. ALTARE flexes with you, not the other way around.

Curated for your kind of love

Our app is inclusive, nontraditional, and anti-perfection because we know no two love stories (or wedding plans) should ever look the same.

MEET THE APP

BUDGET TOOL

Track expenses and stay within budget. Enter your vision and let ALTARE handle the hard part: calculate your realistic budget and avoid the financial panic.

ADDRESS BOOK

Manage guest contact details. Stop texting everyone in your contacts for their zip code (again). Your new ALTARE address book will store addresses in one clean space.

SEATING CHART

Design your seating chart. Drag, drop, and rearrange your layout until it's just right for your special day.

WEDDING CHECKLIST

Track every task leading up to the big day. Stay organized and never miss an important deadline.

WEDDING DAY TIMELINE

Map out your wedding day schedule with precision. Keep everyone on the same page for your perfect day.

PRO COORDINATOR CALLS

Get custom advice from seasoned ALTARE wedding planners without the 5-figure invoice.

Real couples,
real stories

ALTARE > EVERYONE ELSE

Unlike the million other wedding planners making you doubt what you really want, we're not here to push traditions or play it safe.

We're sick of watching couples stress, overspend, and burn out…for a day that should be all about them and their partnership—not all the other superficial stuff (like who sits where and when to cut the cake).

This app is our industry rebellion: aesthetic wedding planning from your phone with none of the "do it like everyone else" pressure.

We're not here to tell you what you should do—we're here to hand you the exact tools to pull off what you want to do.

A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER: LARA MAHLER

Lara Mahler - Founder of ALTARE

ALTARE started with a simple question: Why are we still planning weddings like it's 1997?

The idea that weddings have to be stressful, expensive, and follow standard wedding traditions because "that's just how it is" ???

No thanks.

As a wedding planner with more than a decade of experience, I knew we could do better.

ALTARE is everything I wished I could give couples who wanted the planning support without the $11K-22K+ price tag—it's the alt-coded app for couples ready to do weddings differently.

Lara Mahler, Founder of ALTARE & THE PRIVILEGE IS MINE.

LET'S ROCK AND ROLL INTO YOUR BIG DAY

With ALTARE, you've got the planning power of a pro and the freedom to do it your way.
