Wedding Insurance - An Overview


More and more people have started to think seriously about taking out wedding insurance. As with any other product or service, weddings also depend on a number of factors to run smoothly. There is a certain risk that the key people related with the wedding have to take if they want to conduct the wedding without opting for insurance.

There are a number of factors that might affect the wedding event on a given day. These include the inclement weather which might completely spoil the event, various engaged vendors not being able to reach the event due to unavoidable reasons, close relatives of the bride and the groom falling ill and in the rarest of cases, either the bride or the groom falling ill. These are factors which might happen and disrupt the wedding event.

The average cost involved in arranging a wedding ceremony and the reception associated with it has crossed $30,000. So there is a huge sum involved in the event of an unforeseen cancellation of the wedding.

Wedding insurance can be obtained by paying a premium as low as $150. But some consider this an unnecessary expenditure added on top of the wedding expenditure. Others believe it is better for the couple to choose it to protect themselves from unforeseen occurrences.

There are a number of items that can be covered in wedding insurance. Wedding insurance covers the cancellation of wedding due to the inclement weather, sudden unavailability of the photographer and other vendors like the florist or caterer due to illness, postponement of the wedding due to some key people falling ill and any accidents happening in the reception hall due to electrical or mechanical failures.

There are also additional options available that can be opted for, though they are not compulsory, like liability coverage, which can be used to cover injuries happening to any guests in the wedding hall. Other optional coverage includes the coverage for a military serviceperson which covers the cancellation of the marriage event due to the some military development and the bride or the groom has to attend to their call.

Most of the coverage in wedding insurance is providing for the unforeseen cancellation of the wedding event. After a cancellation, the bride and the groom have to again go through the entire process and allocate sufficient money to the new event. If they had insured their original wedding, they could have received back some money, which could have been very useful for a rescheduled wedding.
