Understanding Wedding Insurance
Wedding insurance provides financial security and peace of mind for couples in case of unexpected events or cancellations. Cancellation cover is the major part of this, but it covers many other issues that may arise before or after the big day, which as lost wedding rings, damage to wedding attire, poor wedding photography, damage to wedding flowers, illness of the wedding couple of family members etc.
Wedding insurance can cover most weddings including a civil ceremony or if you are getting married abroad, and whether you are getting married in a church or having the ceremony and reception at the same venue. The only restriction for a wedding abroad is that is must not be in a location where the FCSO advises against travel, and in that case it is likely that your travel insurance will not offer cover either.
Public liability insurance is an essential part of wedding insurance, covering accidents or damages during the wedding and again giving peace of mind. For many weddings, couples think that wedding insurance, given the peace of mind, is an essential part of your big day and a small price to pay to protect your special day and that protection for you and the wedding party is worth the money.
Couples should purchase wedding insurance as soon as possible to ensure they are protected against financial losses, venue cancellation, the loss of paid deposits.
Wedding insurance policies can be tailored to fit the specific needs of each couple, including coverage for wedding rings and other important wedding items. If you are getting married abroad, some insurers charge more for a wedding abroad. Emerald does not – we provide cover at the same price wherever your wedding day is.
Understanding policy wording and what is covered is crucial to making an informed decision.
What Does Wedding Insurance Cover?
Venue and Supplier Issues
Wedding insurance covers venue cancellation or financial failure, ensuring that couples are protected if their chosen venue is unable to host their wedding. This cancellation cover is see as an important protection.
Supplier issues, such as a photographer or caterer not showing up, are also covered under most wedding insurance policies. A big gap – such as no food on the day – may also trigger the cancellation cover if serious enough.
Couples should ensure that their policy includes coverage for all aspects of their wedding, including the ceremony, reception, and accommodations, and any personal liability or public liability.
Having the right cover can provide peace of mind and financial protection in case of unforeseen events.
Wedding insurance can also cover the cost of rearranging the wedding if a supplier or venue cancels at short notice.
Please note as well for proper peace of mind that wedding insurance is not home insurance or travel insurance. Do read the policy wording to see the limitations.
Personal and Public Liability
Personal liability insurance covers the wedding party and guests in case of accidents or injuries during the wedding.
Public liability insurance protects against claims made by third parties, such as guests or vendors, in case of accidents or damages.
Couples should consider purchasing additional coverage for unique wedding activities or events, such as a photo booth or fireworks display. Often at a wedding, on the big day there are exclusions for some more dangerous activities, so see if you can pay an additional small price to have them added as an optional extra or you may have to cancel that activity.
Understanding the difference between personal and public liability is essential to ensuring that couples have the right cover.
Couples should also consider the cost of public liability insurance and factor it into their overall wedding budget. Emerald includes this into its wedding insurance, to help with your planning, reduce the cost, save you money, and to give you that extra protection on your special day.
Extreme Weather Conditions
Wedding insurance can cover extreme weather conditions, such as hurricanes or floods, that may force the wedding to be cancelled or postponed if the wedding venue is damaged in a way that stops weddings taking place.
Couples should check their policy to see if it includes coverage for extreme weather conditions and what the terms and conditions are.
Having a backup plan in place, such as a tent or indoor venue for the ceremony, can help minimize the impact of bad weather.
Couples should also consider purchasing additional coverage for extreme weather conditions, such as storm damage or flood insurance. However, the cost of these may be prohibitive so do some research on these important wedding items as part of your planning.
