About

Overview & Vibe

Girl Friday Weddings is a planning, coordination and styling studio based in Crows Nest on Sydney’s lower north shore, which also takes appointments in Melbourne and Brisbane. It is unusually transparent for this trade: almost everything it sells is published with a price, from a single hour of advice to full service planning, so you can work out what you need before you contact anyone.

Style & Services

The range splits into coordination and planning. Coordination runs from a short day through half and full day to an indulgence tier, with a separate same day dismantle and pack up. Planning is sold either by the hour or as discrete pieces of work: a ceremony consultation, a reception consultation, vendor planning for couples who have their venues and want help booking suppliers, or full service planning end to end. Styling, event hire and outdoor ceremony hire sit alongside, and the studio also does outsourced planning for venues.

Ideal For

A couple who wants to buy exactly as much help as they need and see the cost first. It suits someone who has planned most of it and wants a coordinator for the day, and equally someone who wants the whole thing handled. The hourly option is genuinely useful if you are stuck on one decision rather than the whole wedding.

The Need-to-Knows

Coordination starts at $799.00 for a short day and runs to $3,650.00 for the indulgence tier. Planning by the hour is $230.00, and full service planning is $10,998.00. An initial consultation is not free: consultations are charged at the hourly rate, in the studio’s offices, with a travel fee to meet elsewhere. Booking takes a 50% deposit with the balance two weeks before, and travel fees are added for anything outside the three cities.

Standout Feature

The price list is published in full rather than held back for an enquiry, across both coordination and planning, which is rare in this trade: most planners publish nothing at all. You can compare a short day coordinator against a full service planner in your own time, and decide whether an hour of advice would do instead.

Appointment Policy

Enquiries go through a form or a phone call, and an initial consultation is charged rather than free: consultations run at an hourly rate in the studio's own offices, bookable from a single hour, with a travel fee if you want to meet elsewhere.
