2. Wedding Planning
Unless you have a meticulous friend or you can multitask to a tee, we recommend getting a wedding planner to take care of the small stuff and time-consuming tasks like meeting with your vendors.
Think of them as your eyes and ears – they can supply you with an answer to just about anything, without you even asking. Some even offer wedding planning packages with a wedding planning checklist to ensure both of 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.

Throw that “you must work for the dress” saying 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.

You cannot cut costs on wedding photographers and videographers on airtasker! I chose airtasker for my wedding and although there are professionals on this site that you could hire its next to impossible to find them because airtasker does not allow them to post links to their portfolios or websites. I ended up choosing the wrong person for my wedding. Until airtasker allows free communication avoid using the site. Should have used gumtree!
I would agree, just based on selecting a tradesmen to do a job in a short window of opportunity , near impossible to take the next step, and I dont’ want other respondents to be able to read ‘further question’ about their response , not fair ; this may work better for some worker s , but not at all for the requester.
