WEDDING INSURANCE GUIDE

With the average costs of planning a wedding now exceeding $25,000 many brides and grooms are protecting their investment with wedding insurance.

WHAT IS WEDDING INSURANCE?

Wedding Insurance generally covers a variety of wedding related areas.  Depending upon the coverage limits and options you select, your wedding insurance can cover everything from lost or damaged wedding attire or wedding rings to damaged wedding photos or wedding gifts - and just about everything else in-between. Since different insurance companies offer different specific coverage and limits be sure to review and compare policies before you buy.

Wedding Cancellation Insurance protects you from financial losses if something beyond your control (like injury, illness, weather conditions, call to military service, etc.) occurs that requires you to postpone or cancel your wedding ceremony and/or wedding reception.

Wedding or Special Event Liability Insurance coverage will also protect the bride and groom when it comes to damage or injury to property or people during the ceremony and reception.  NOTE:  Your homeowner's insurance policy may also offer needed liability coverage.  A rider to your policy may be needed to extend coverage to the location where the wedding and reception are held.

NOTE: You should also make sure that all major suppliers to your wedding (caterer, limousine service, etc.) maintain liability coverage. When you sign the contract and pay your deposit obtain a copy of their "Certificate of Insurance".

WHAT DOES WEDDING INSURANCE COST?
Considering the costs involved in planning the average wedding, the one time premium is relatively reasonable.  We found that basic wedding insurance coverage starts at about $100.00 and increases in cost depending mainly upon the total cost of the wedding expenses to be covered.   Additional wedding or special event liability coverage costs (as of 2006) around $200.00 for $1,000,000.00 in coverage.

You can obtain wedding insurance coverage online via several websites listed below or through a local insurance agent representing the companies listed below.  Since wedding insurance coverage options and limitations vary between insurance companies, please be sure to compare all policy options, coverage limits and costs before making a purchase.
