Most planning apps are American. Their pricing is in USD, their vendors don’t exist here, and they have no idea what NOIM means. Ivory Lane is built in Melbourne for couples planning weddings from Perth to Hobart. Real AU pricing, AU vendors, local legal forms.

vs The American apps
Why AU couples switch over.
Joy, Zola and The Knot are great for American weddings. For an Australian wedding, they leave the parts that matter most up to you — and bill in the wrong currency.
USD pricing throws off your budget
AUD primary, with NZD/GBP/USD/CAD on tap. Live FX on every line.
No idea what NOIM is
We track your Notice of Intended Marriage filing window and remind your celebrant chain.
US-only vendor directory
Browse AU venues, caterers and celebrants by city, with real local pricing.
Tipping baked into estimates
Optional in AU — toggled off by default, with realistic expectations for service charges.
Wrong public holidays
Six-state long-weekend awareness. Peak-rate weekends flagged when you pick a date.
Per-seat charging for partners
Both partners under one payment, free. No second-seat upsell.

AU couples on Ivory Lane
Made by Aussies. For Aussies.
“I tried Joy. Their cost estimates were in USD and didn't match anything our Sydney venue quoted. Switched to Ivory Lane and the AUD figures lined up to the dollar.”
Hannah & Theo
Sydney, NSW
“The NOIM reminder genuinely saved us. We were 32 days out from filing and didn't realise. The planner flagged it the same morning the celebrant did.”
Lila & Jack
Melbourne, VIC
“I'm in Hobart and most apps don't even list TAS celebrants. Ivory Lane had every registered celebrant on the island and the right vendor categories.”
