Total Addressable Market
Built bottom-up from how planning dollars are spent on every US wedding Total addressable market = Sum (Weddings x Annual planning rate x Spend per wedding) Spend-category-by-wedding: 3 segments matching how planning and services dollars are spent across each of the 2.5 million United States weddings per year. Planning and coordination spend covers the work Aisle automates directly, vendor sourcing and matching spend covers discovery and booking, and design and guest services spend covers styling, invitations, and guest management. The three segments are non-overlapping and together equal the $12B of planning and services spend, which sits on top of the broader $70B industry excluded here because it covers the underlying vendor goods Aisle coordinates rather than provides. unit_a = number of United States weddings per year; unit_b = annual planning rate (share of weddings actively planned in-year); unit_c = planning and services spend per wedding within the segment, blended across budget tiers

Serviceable Addressable Market $4.8B

Filters applied to TAM:

Geography: top United States wedding metros - 70% concentrates couples in metros where vetted vendor supply already exists
Behavior: digital-first couples who plan primarily online - 80% excludes couples who plan offline or hand the work to a full-service planner
Budget: weddings above the do-it-yourself-only threshold - 85% excludes the smallest weddings with little planning or services spend
Timing: couples actively planning within the year - 84% excludes long-dated and paused engagements not yet in active planning
Total addressable market ($12B) x Geography 70% x Digital-first 80% x Budget 85% x Active planning 84% = Serviceable addressable market ($4.8B)

Market Challenges Market challenges
Seasonal demand concentration Roughly 70% of weddings cluster in a six-month season. Annual planning window smooths revenue across the full year.
Fragmented local vendor supply Over 300,000 small vendors with no central booking layer. Sofia Rossi's 5,000-plus vendor network seeds aggregated supply.
Single-use customer lifecycle Most couples plan one wedding, limiting repeat revenue. Each wedding refers partners, family, and vendors to drive low-cost acquisition.
Trust in automated vendor negotiation and payments Slows adoption of agent-led booking by 3 to 6 months. Vetted vendors and human-in-the-loop approval build trust before each booking.
