You met, you dated and got engaged. Now it’s time to plan what will likely be one of the most important days of your life.

But not so fast. Imagine one of the following scenarios happening to you:

• The day before the wedding, the reception hall burns down.
• The cake caterer is a no-show on the day of your ceremony.
• Your luggage gets lost on the way to your honeymoon destination.

If any of these things were to occur, it would be catastrophic to your special day. However, having insurance is a simple way to make sure that your wedding and financial security aren’t ruined.

Want to know more about wedding insurance? Not sure which coverage options are available and which ones to include? Wondering if wedding insurance coverage costs a small fortune? What follows is information about wedding insurance, how you can use it to protect yourself from loss on the day of your nuptials and how much it costs.

Wedding insurance is a type of policy that safeguards a couples’ interests regarding money spent as they plan their wedding.

Until the wedding is over anything can go wrong with the invitations, venue, rentals, providers, flowers, food or any other aspect of the big day.

If an unexpected event happens that is outside of the couples’ control that could cause them to lose value on their investment, wedding insurance helps to provide an umbrella of protection and mitigate any financial losses.

At first, wedding insurance doesn’t seem like a necessary expense. Especially since a wedding only happens on a single day.

However, most weddings involve several different elements that are outside of the bride and groom’s control. Because of this, wedding insurance can be one of the smartest investments to protect yourself against loss.

On the other hand, full wedding insurance coverage may not be necessary if the vendors, suppliers and other agents involved in the production of your event are already fully covered under their own insurance policies.

To make sure that you are not left exposed to unnecessary risk, always ask everyone involved in the wedding planning process about the type and scope of insurance coverage they have. If it is necessary, only purchase wedding insurance for the areas where your vendors’ policies fall short.

Wedding insurance policies typically offer the following options, which are limited to a maximum level of coverage:

Wedding insurance costs can vary widely depending on the specific details of the event, particularly the amount of money invested. Generally, the higher the cost of the wedding and the more expensive its elements, the higher the premium.

Another factor that determines how much you pay for your policy is the types of coverage that you want included. A basic policy may include items such as vendor deposits, photography and wedding rings. However, a more comprehensive policy with more coverage items attracts additional premium rates.

All things considered, wedding insurance is relatively inexpensive compared to the peace of mind and protection you get with having coverage.

Your wedding day should be one you never forget, but for all the right reasons.

Having a well-crafted wedding insurance policy lets you move towards your special day with confidence and without risking the loss of any money spent towards the occasion.
