You said yes — now the fun begins
One place for your date, your vendors, your budget and every RSVP.
Wedyesday is a free wedding planning workspace and an Australian vendor marketplace in one: set your date, shortlist vendors who are still free on it, ask for real prices, and give your guests a wedding website that collects the RSVPs.
Cost figures: Wedyesday national cost guide, GST-inclusive AUD for a wedding of around 100 guests, reviewed 2026-07-17.
How it works
One date sets everything else: your checklist counts backwards from it, and the directory only shows vendors you can still book.
Filter by city, category and price, save the ones you like to a board, and compare them side by side on the numbers that matter.
Send one brief to your whole shortlist. Quotes come back in writing, in your own currency, and land in one thread per vendor.
Publish a free wedding website, collect RSVPs and meals on one link, and seat the room from the replies as they arrive.
What you get
Tasks scheduled backwards from the date, not a generic 12-month list.
Every quote, deposit and due date against a running total.
22 categories across 20 Australian markets.
Story, schedule, travel and RSVPs on one link, with a QR code.
One link per household; meals and replies answer themselves.
Tables rebuild as RSVPs land, so the plan is never stale.
What it costs
Every venue tour starts with the same question: what should this actually cost? Here are honest, GST-inclusive national ranges — and how to turn them into your own budget.
| Category | Low (AUD) | High (AUD) | What moves the number |
|---|---|---|---|
| Venue hire | AUD 8,000 | AUD 25,000 | The single biggest line for most couples. Regional venues and off-peak dates sit at the low end; capital-city Saturdays at the top. |
| Photography | AUD 2,500 | AUD 6,000 | Six to ten hours of coverage. The middle of the range buys an experienced full-day photographer in most cities. |
| Celebrant | AUD 800 | AUD 1,800 | Covers the legal lodgement (NOIM), a rehearsal, and a ceremony written for you. Registry offices cost less; celebrity celebrants more. |
| Flowers and styling | AUD 1,500 | AUD 5,000 | Bouquets and buttonholes start it; ceremony arbours and full table styling grow it. |
| Catering | AUD 9,000 | AUD 22,000 | Roughly A$90–220 a head nationally for seated or premium cocktail menus — often bundled into venue packages. |
| All in, 100 guests | AUD 25,000 | AUD 70,000 | Typical landing point AUD 36,000. |

Answers are national ranges, GST-inclusive. City-level numbers live in the cost guides.
Most Australian weddings land between A$25,000 and A$70,000 all-in, with a typical 100-guest wedding around A$36,000 GST-inclusive. Capital cities run higher; regional and off-peak dates run lower.
Australian consumer pricing must be GST-inclusive, and every range in this guide is too. When a vendor quotes you directly, check the quote says GST-inclusive — most do, but it's worth confirming before you sign.
The venue plus catering is almost always the biggest line — typically 40–50% of the whole budget. Lock those in first; around A$36,000 all-in is a common landing point, and everything else fits around them.
Three levers move the total most: the guest count, the day of the week, and the season. An off-peak or weekday date with a tighter guest list can save 20–30% at the same venue with the same vendors.
With 40–60 guests, many couples plan beautiful weddings for A$15,000–25,000 — the guest count drives catering, the venue size, and the stationery, so it's the most powerful lever you have.
