Ivory Lane

Designed for the two of you

The wedding planner built for couples.

Most wedding planners are built for vendors or wedding planners — and the couple is the data they sell to. Ivory Lane is the only planner where both of you are the customer. Both seats free. Workload balanced. Plan held by the two of you, not hidden in someone else’s CRM.

Six principles

What “for couples” actually means.

Six product principles we don’t bend on. They sound obvious. The category hasn’t followed any of them.

01

One payment, two seats

Both partners get full accounts. No per-seat tax for being engaged. Ever.

02

Balanced workload by default

Tasks auto-distribute. Each partner has their own queue. No one becomes the project manager.

03

Real-time sync, no overwrites

Last write wins, but with attribution. You always see what your partner just changed, with one-tap undo.

04

Designed for asymmetry

The 'planner' partner can drive day-to-day. The other partner stays light-touch and still knows everything.

05

No vendor commissions

We don't take kickbacks from the suppliers we recommend. The directory stays curated, not pay-to-play.

06

Couples own their data

Full CSV export at any time. Delete your account in one tap. We're not building a wedding industry data play.

Built for both partners

Two phones. Two profiles.

A

For the high-engagement partner

Drive the plan. Without driving alone.

  • Full edit access — budget, vendors, RSVPs, timeline
  • Daily digest of what your partner just did
  • One-tap reassign for any task
  • AI-suggested next-action queue every morning
  • Notification cadence: every change, every alert
B

For the light-touch partner

Stay involved. Without being the planner.

  • 30-second weekly summary email — read it on the bus
  • Your own queue of 4-6 tasks at any time, never more
  • No app required for non-urgent things
  • Veto rights on any decision your partner flags
  • Notification cadence: weekly + the big stuff

Couples who switched

The planner that isn’t lonely.

I'd been planning solo for 5 months. The first weekend on Ivory Lane he picked up 12 tasks because he could finally see what was on his queue. Game changer.

Hannah & Theo

Sydney, NSW

I'm the 'light-touch' one. The weekly summary email is exactly enough. I read it on the train, knock out 2 tasks, and feel involved without being a project manager.

Theo (the partner)

Sydney, NSW

Joy charged us $12/mo for my partner's seat. Switched to Ivory Lane the same day. Both partners free, never going back.

FAQ

Couples-first questions, answered.

Yes — under one payment. No 'add a partner' upsell, no per-seat tier. Both of you get full edit access, your own task queues and your own notification settings. We genuinely don't think charging you twice for being engaged is good business.

Two of you. One plan.

Plan your wedding together.

Free to plan, forever. Both partners free, both partners full-access, both partners seen. No 11pm “did you book…?” ever again.
