Wedding Insurance
Every detail matters.
You've dreamed of this day, crossed your t's and dotted your i's, but no matter how carefully you plan it, sometimes things go wrong - things that are beyond your control. Protect yourself from financial loss with wedding insurance.
Wedding Protector Plan
A wedding is an investment, and as the average cost of weddings rises upwards of $30,000, wedding insurance is needed. After all, you wouldn't buy a new car that costs that much without insuring it against damages. What if your reception venue goes out of business a month before the wedding? Or a hurricane causes your wedding to be postponed? What if your bridal shop closes, leaving you without a gown? Wedding insurance helps make things right when something goes wrong.
For as little as $160, your wedding insurance policy can cover a variety of situations, such as:
- No dress. You can get repair or replacement cost if the bride’s wedding gown or groom’s tuxedo is lost or damaged
- Lost deposits. We can reimburse your deposit if a vendor goes out of business, declares bankruptcy before your wedding or simply fails to show up
- Lost rings. You can receive repair or replacement cost if the bride or groom’s wedding bands are lost or damaged
- Severe weather. If severe weather (such as a hurricane)forces you to postpone your wedding, we can provide reimbursement for certain non-recoverable expenses
- Reimbursement is available if a necessary and unavoidable cancellation or postponement of the event occurs. Reimbursement is available for transportation, food, catering services, property and equipment rentals, hall and location rentals, and more
- Ruined photos. If your photographer’s film is defective, or negatives are lost or damaged, we can help cover the cost to retake new photos
- Call to duty. If the bride or groom is unexpectedly called up to active duty, or has her or his military service leave revoked, forcing you to postpone the event, we can provide reimbursement for non-recoverable expenses
- Damaged gifts. You can get repair or replacement cost if your wedding gifts are damaged
- Sudden illness. If the wedding needs to be postponed because sudden illness prevents the bride, groom or their parents from attending, you can receive reimbursement for certain non-recoverable expenses
- Venue requires insurance. As an additional option to your policy, you can add liability coverage to protect yourself in case a guest is injured or causes damage to property
- Liquor liability. As an individual liability option to your policy, you can add this coverage to protect yourself against liability arising from alcohol-related occurrences (subject to policy conditions and exclusions)
- Additional expense. If a vendor suddenly becomes unavailable for your event but you can find a last-minute replacement, we can reimburse you for the difference in cost, up to 25 percent of the original contract price
