Hi there, I’m Cindy Savage — yes, that Cindy. Former stage manager, now professional wedding wrangler. I spent years orchestrating live shows, managing impossible timelines, and making magic happen on a shoestring budget. And then I realized…weddings are basically the same thing, but with more glitter, more emotions, and sometimes more cake.
I’ve planned hundreds of LGBTQ+ and non-traditional weddings across 12 states, and here’s what I’ve learned: the rules you see online or in magazines? Most of them are optional. What really matters is a wedding that feels like you — not your cousin’s instagram feed, not Aunt Karen’s Pinterest board, not some 50-page wedding planner guide you’ll never touch.
Alt+Ctrl+Wed was born out of my own DIY wedding chaos. I wanted a program that gave couples all the resources that I didn’t have, all while keeping things sane, smart, and yes, a little sassy. This is a place to get real guidance, avoid expensive mistakes, and still have fun planning your day.

“We had our wedding during COVID – not at all what we were originally planning, but we still fulfilled our manifesto of ‘fun, unique, and meaningful!”
