Find trusted wedding transport hires near you

You can never be too prepared for a wedding day. Sometimes, even when everything is already fixed, something unpredictable happens. But it’s worth paying enough attention to every little concern, especially to make your guests feel comfortable. Of course, this includes booking wedding transportation services. These cover group transport for your guests and wedding parties on your big day, from coach hire to smaller vans.

Taskers can take care of fetching guests from their homes, taking them to the wedding venue and then on to the reception. Whether you want something run-of-the-mill or need to attend to specific requests, here’s what you can expect when booking through Airtasker:

Checking the guest list

Once you’ve hired the wedding transportation service, your driver can sit with you or have a video conferencing call to list down all the names and addresses of your guests. They can note your headcount and which guests may need assistance in boarding or disembarking from the bus.

Preparing the bus route

After sharing your guest list and their addresses with your driver, they can prepare their route. They can create the most efficient route to fetch each guest and drive them safely to the wedding venue, then on to the reception. Your Tasker can give you a detailed map of the route they can take, especially if you hire a red double-decker bus for your wedding. 

You may suggest shortcuts and advise your Tasker which guests they can prioritize when they prepare their route. Whether you hire a van, minibus or charming red double-decker bus, rest assured your Tasker can map out the most efficient, appropriate and safest route and get your guests to the ceremony and reception on time!

Confirming the schedule 

Now that you’ve agreed on the route, your Tasker can make the schedule. They can recommend the best time to begin their journey to pick up each guest, considering factors like the weather, traffic conditions and the distance covered. After you sign off on their schedule, tick off one more minor task on your wedding to-do list! So how about having your wedding entourage get styled and ready? 

Driving to the venue

On your big day, your wedding bus driver can begin fetching your guests at their agreed locations. They can make sure to do the trip on schedule, and drive within the speed limits and follow all traffic rules and regulations. Be sure to provide your number or the number of your personal assistant if a guest is running late.

Extra onboard services

Need some extra fun for the ride? Based on your preferences, your service package may include onboard entertainment like a karaoke machine and sound system, an additional band or DJ, or perhaps even an onboard mini-bar. Discuss what can be part of your wedding transportation service and what extra touches you can add upon request.

With Airtasker, iron out the rest of your wedding planning woes. There are Taskers you can hire as photographers, decorators, or even officiants.

Hiring a shuttle bus for guests, separate from the bridal car (new)

Many couples book two kinds of transport: a wedding car for the couple and bridal party, and a shuttle bus or coach hire for guests. They do different jobs. The bridal car is about arrival and photos, while the guest shuttle keeps a large group moving to the same schedule.

A guest shuttle helps when venues have limited parking, when the ceremony and reception are at different places, or when guests are staying at the same accommodation. It also means nobody has to drive home after the reception. Party shuttles for the late-night return are one of the most-used runs.

To plan it, share your headcount, pick-up points and times, and whether you need more than one run (for example, an early return for older guests and a late run for everyone else). Mention any guests who need help boarding.
