Insurance

Insurance is a necessity. Ensure you know what the policy covers against. Although rare, and of course extremely unfortunate, problems can occur - the dress supplier going bust, the venue double-booking or cancelling, someone being taken ill or perhaps an overseas posting. With a wedding being such a time-consuming and expensive event, insurance may help you to claim some compensation

As the costs of weddings increase, as do the losses if there is a disaster on the day. The most common problem couples incur is bankruptcy of suppliers, such as the dressmaker or reception venue. The reception is usually the most expensive part of your wedding, and most venues will want a large deposit prior to the day, so if your chosen venue does go bankrupt, this can leave you with big problems if you haven’t taken out insurance. Insurances do vary, as one can imagine, but other possible problems can include theft of wedding gifts, having to re-stage the photographs, or even illness of a close member of the party thus leading to the postponement of the Wedding.

You should be aware that insurance will not cover your financial losses if either of you change your mind about getting married, and in addition to loss of deposits you may find that you are legally bound to pay the entire contracted costs for the reception etc, even if the wedding doesn’t take place.

Many venues insist that you have adequate insurance.

Extra insurance may be required for marquees, so do check.

You can take out policies starting from as little as £45.
