Wedding Insurance provides financial protection in case things don’t go to plan on your big day.
Remember, paying with things on a credit card also helps, as if you have paid with a credit card for anything costing between £100 and £30,000, you should be able to get your money back from your credit card provider, using section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act.
This technically covers for breach of contract - but the card providers are not obliged to chase suppliers of you. If you have home insurance, your home insurance policy might have some provision for weddings, or possibly allow you to extend cover for a wedding.
If so, you may wish to check what is covered before you take up the stand-alone wedding insurance cover we have arranged.
We currently are able to insure weddings up to the 31st July 2019. However, this date gets extended annually and we can sometimes put in manual extensions under special circumstances.
