Preparing for your big day can be as overwhelming as it is exciting. Unless you’ve planned a courthouse wedding… Chandler Bing said it best: “I’m buying dinner for 128 people tonight!” But before you go around town trying to run from one task to another, do not fret.
We know weddings are a busy time, and Airtasker can provide a great solution for getting it all done! Below are 10 tasks that you can rely on Taskers to help within your own budget!
1. Engagement tasks

2. Wedding planning
Unless you have a meticulous friend or can multitask to a tee, we recommend getting a wedding planner to take care of small tasks and time-consuming tasks like meeting with your vendors.
Think of them as your eyes and ears – they can give you an answer to just about anything without even having to asking. Some even offer wedding planning packages with a checklist to ensure you are on the same page.
A month or two before the wedding, you can add a wedding coordinator to your team to help manage the final timeline, walk you through the ceremony details and rehearsal and oversee everything on the big day.

3. Wedding hair and makeup
It’s your special day, so it’s only natural to want to look your best. Whether having luscious locks that fall mid-shoulder, having beach wedding makeup or clean makeup, show your wedding hair and makeup pins to your stylists to help you achieve your dream wedding look.

4. Florist
Whether it is to toss or carry down the aisle, flowers add that ethereal pizzazz to any wedding. Pick the perfect bloom and flower arrangement with a wedding florist who knows the complementary pair and color like the back of their hand. Perhaps they can do your blush and white wedding flowers idea!

5. Wedding stationery
From sending your save-the-dates and official invites to having the program printed out, you can never go wrong with a wedding stationery specialist. They ensure there are no misspells, false information or lost-in-the-mail incidents that could happen on their watch.

6. Wedding alterations
Throw out the saying “you must work for the dress” out the window! Make the dress work for you. If you are finding that your perfect white gown pinches too tight or is a bit loose, get some tailoring done to make the dress hug your body perfectly.
The same goes for the grooms out there! See that the ring isn’t the only one that fits right.

7. Wedding caterer
Setting a budget for the food is ideal, but don’t forget about the taste! Having a wedding caterer on board can help you figure out if it’s best to serve salmon or halibut or if you want to offer a dessert bar or a chocolate fountain. These choices need the help of a professional stat.

8. Wedding entertainers
Make your wedding day (or night!) the most memorable with an unforgettable program and entertainment.
Whether hiring a string quartet, reliving your best moments in the club dancing, or having dancers open your reception, make sure you pick the right type of entertainment everyone will enjoy with your wedding entertainment specialist.

9. Wedding cake
Cutting the cake won’t happen if there isn’t one to begin with. How many tiers do you want? Is it going to be chocolate or vanilla? Will it have a chiffon texture? Get answers to your burning questions when a wedding cake baker is on board.

10. Wedding documentation
Immortalize the day you said “I do” with a team of wedding documentation specialists. Have that photographer click through the classics and the candids, and the videographer captures the most intimate moments on film.
