What Does Wedding Insurance Cover?

Wedding insurance generally provides a number of different sections of cover. Whilst all policies are different (and you should find one that suits your particular individual needs) the following are generally found in many wedding insurance policies.

You may also find our wedding insurance comparison table useful which has information on a number of leading UK wedding insurance providers.

Cancellation and Expenses

This covers you should you need to cancel the wedding due to unexpected death or illness (including that of a close family member), extreme weather or redundancy. As with most insurance policies, circumstances which are known to you when you take the policy out are excluded.

Supplier Deposits

This covers you for the loss of non-refundable deposits, for example, following the bankruptcy or liquidation of a supplier. You may also be covered for any additional costs incurred as a result of arranging alternatives.

Wedding Attire

Covers you for wedding attire that is lost or damaged beyond repair.

Wedding Photographs and Video/DVD

Covers all expenses incurred in the retaking of the official wedding photographs or video/DVD should the booked professional not appear or use faulty materials.

Wedding Cars and Transport

Provides for the additional cost of alternative transport should your booked supplier fail to meet their contractual obligations.
