Aisles for Miles: My Years as a Nuptial Concierge/Wedding Doula

Aisles for Miles: My Years as a Nuptial Concierge/Wedding Doula by Natalie M. Stahl is presented by a longtime historical venue owner and veteran of the so-called wedding industry. The text is anecdotal, often humorous, sometimes touching, but always enlightening. Stahl describes the book as a look at the good, the bad, and the in between regarding weddings. She is candid yet good natured, and avoids the snarky stiffness so often displayed in how-to books for wedding planning.

Regardless of the topic being addressed, the author remains affectionate in her tone, and it is obvious that she takes both pride and pleasure in her profession. She offers practical suggestions and advice that can be used by any configuration of marrying couple, and eschews traditional wedding etiquette when it conflicts with common sense.
