Introduction to Wedding Insurance

Wedding insurance is an essential part of wedding planning, providing peace of mind and financial security against unforeseen events.

It covers issues like wedding venue cancellation, damage protection for expensive items such as wedding attire, and liability insurance as well as smaller items such as poor wedding photography, damage to the wedding cake, loss of wedding bands, stolen or damaged items or wedding gifts – the list goes on. 

The cost of wedding insurance varies based on the wedding venue, budget, and desired coverage, but finding the best wedding insurance companies is possible with expert tips.

Wedding insurance quotes and policies can be compared to find the best fit for individual needs. We think though that Emerald is a sensible choice to look for wedding insurance cover.

What is Wedding Insurance?

Wedding insurance is a type of insurance that protects against financial losses from illness, accidents, cancellations, and unforeseen events before or on the wedding day.

It covers problems with the venue, suppliers, or key members of the wedding party falling ill, and can provide reimbursement for lost deposits and other expenses.

Wedding insurance is an optional but valuable policy for safeguarding wedding plans and providing financial protections but of course always ready the wedding insurance policy before you but wedding insurance cover. 

Standard wedding insurance policies often include liability insurance, cancellation coverage, and protection against supplier or venue failure.

Importance of Wedding Insurance

Wedding insurance is recommended to avoid financial loss if something goes wrong with the wedding day, providing peace of mind and financial protection for weddings that can cost tens of thousands of pounds. There are various wedding insurance providers, so we recommend looking at the reviews and we hope that you will see that Emerald scores highly as one of (according to others) the best wedding insurance companies. 

Wedding insurance helps protect the investment in the wedding, especially for weddings costing nearly £30,000 on average, and provides coverage for wedding gifts, wedding rings, and other valuable items.

Small weddings with flexible venue or supplier agreements may not need insurance, but basic cover is generally advised to protect against unforeseen events such as public liability or personal liability should something go wrong. 

Wedding insurance can be worth purchasing to protect against financial failure, supplier failure, and other risks associated with weddings. Whether you take the most basic cover or go higher, it may still be worth purchasing cover for UK weddings or weddings abroad. 

Why You Need Wedding Insurance

Wedding insurance provides peace of mind and financial protection for weddings, covering unexpected events such as venue cancellation, supplier no-show, and extreme weather.

It helps protect the wedding party, including the bride, groom, and close family members, from financial losses and provides reimbursement for lost deposits, non-refundable deposits and other expenses.

Types of Wedding Insurance

Comprehensive coverage is available for weddings, including liability insurance, cancellation coverage, damage to wedding attire and protection against supplier or venue failure. There are different levels of wedding insurance cover based on differing wedding budgets. 

Wedding insurance policies can be tailored to individual needs, including add-ons for increased public liability, COVID cover and others. Unlike many other wedding insurance providers, Emerald does not charge extra for weddings abroad – something to bear in mind if you are not having a UK wedding and are getting married abroad. For Emerald, there is no such thing as ‘overseas wedding insurance’ – it’s just your big day!

Standard wedding insurance policies often include public liability insurance, financial failure coverage, and reimbursement for lost deposits and other expenses so have a look at your wedding costs in your budget and start from there when looking at different levels. If you are getting married abroad, Emerald does not change extra but your overall costs for your wedding may be higher, so you might need a higher level of wedding insurance. 

Wedding insurance companies offer a range of policies and coverage options to suit individual needs and budgets. However, we know who we would recommend!

Some Notes on Wedding Insurance

There are some common assumptions that are incorrect about wedding insurance – so let’s deal with those:

  • We cover overseas weddings at no extra cost
  • There are no monthly payments – this is a one off cost
  • Wedding insurance is not travel insurance – you will need to take that out separately. Travel insurance is very separate but please contact Emerald as we also provide travel insurance and can meet your travel insurance needs
