A big wedding is expensive, so it’s really important to put protection in place in case something goes wrong. From cancellations to a supplier going bust, buying the right cover sets your mind at ease and helps to make sure the day goes off smoothly. As with any kind of insurance, it’s important to shop around and make sure you have the right limits in place. Read our guide to make sure you know everything you need when it comes to choosing and buying wedding insurance.

What is wedding insurance and how does it work?

It can cover the cost of your wedding if you’re forced to cancel, or if something else goes wrong like one of your suppliers fails to fulfil their commitments.

It also protects against damage or theft to your wedding attire, gifts, cake or flowers and can cover the cost if you have to retake your photographs or if you have a problem with your wedding cars. Wedding insurance can give you valuable protection, especially if your big day costs a lot of money. Typically, you’ll pay a one-off sum for a policy, which will then pay out if something goes wrong.

What does wedding insurance cover?

Different policy will have different levels of cover and exclusions, but most wedding insurance policies typically cover certain things as standard:

Cancellation or rearrangement

Most insurers cover the cost of cancellation or rearrangement if:

● Your venue has been damaged by fire, flood or another natural disaster

● The bride, groom, civil partner or a close relative dies, is ill or injured

● Any booked and paid for professional suppliers do not turn up

● The wedding clothing is damaged and cannot be used

● You are made redundant at least eight weeks after buying your policy

● The officiating minister or registrar does not turn up

● Bad weather means the wedding party and guests cannot reach the venue

Problems on the Day

You will also be covered for individual things that go wrong leading up to your wedding, or on the day itself, including problems with:

The cost of arranging alternative suppliers, and any deposits you have paid, if your supplier cannot provide their service.

The cost of replacing or repairing any wedding attire, like the bride or groom's outfit and bridesmaid dresses, that has been lost or damaged while in your possession.

The cost of retaking your photos or video if your photographer does not show up, or if they lose or damage the film.

The cost of arranging alternative transport and getting back any deposits paid if your hired car cannot get you to the venue.

You can also claim if you lose or damage certain items, including:

● Wedding gifts

● Wedding rings

● Flowers

● Wedding Cake

You usually also get third-party liability cover. This covers any claims against you following an incident that results in an injury or damage to someone else's property.

Check the terms and conditions of the policy to see if there is a time limit for you to make a claim. For example, you may not be able to claim more than 48 hours after your wedding day.

What are the main exclusions for wedding insurance?

There are some things wedding insurance will not protect you against that you should be aware of before you buy a policy. These include:

If you or your fiancé decide you no longer want to get married, the cancellation will not be covered by your insurance.

You also cannot claim if you decide that your wedding is too expensive, and you cannot afford to pay for it.

Most wedding insurance policies do not offer cover for your honeymoon. Some wedding insurers allow you to pay extra and get add-on cover for this, but you will usually get better protection at a more reasonable price by shopping around for a separate travel insurance policy.

Any arrangements made for your hen or stag do will not be protected by your wedding insurance.

If you are going abroad for your party, make sure everyone going has travel insurance.

You cannot claim if any of the services you receive do not meet your expectations, for example, if you are unhappy with the photos, or the food is burnt.

If this happens, you should complain to whoever provided the service and ask for a refund.

When should you get wedding insurance?

Ideally, you should get your wedding insurance as soon as possible, particularly since some things won’t be covered if they happen within two weeks of you buying your policy. You definitely want to purchase a policy before you start making any bookings or paying any deposits. For example:

● Booking your venue

● Buying a wedding dress

● Ordering the cake

How much will wedding insurance cost?

It depends on how much you are spending on your wedding. The more you spend, the more expensive the policy you need will be.

Most wedding insurers offer a choice of cover levels, with a set claim limit for everything they cover.

For example, a basic policy could offer up to £5,000 for cancellation, but a premium policy could give you up to £100,000 of protection.

Work out how much you will spend (or have spent) for each area and make sure you choose a policy that can refund the total cost if you need to claim.

You could pay anything from £20 to £300 for a policy depending on the insurer and the level of cover you choose.

You pay for wedding insurance as one payment, and policies start from when the cover is taken out and end once your wedding is over.

Most insurers let you take out a policy two years before your wedding, so you can get cover well in advance of your big day.

here are many things that could happen that mean your wedding day has to be cancelled or rearranged.

Why Get Wedding Insurance?

For example, the venue could go out of business or a member of your wedding party or a close relative could fall ill and be unable to attend.

Without insurance, you could lose all the money you spent on your wedding. You may have some protection if you paid by credit card, but this will not cover everything wedding insurance can.

Section 75 can protect any payments you make by credit card between £100 and £30,000, but it only covers certain scenarios, such as if your venue goes out of business.

Think about whether the peace of mind of knowing you are protected if anything goes wrong is worth the cost of buying a policy.

What cover do you need?

Wedding insurance policies offer fixed amounts of protection, so work out how much your wedding costs by using a budget tool and then find a policy that gives you enough cover. For example, if the total cost of your wedding is £20,000, get a policy that offers at least this amount of cover for cancellation or rearrangement.

The lower the cover limits offered, the cheaper the policy will be.
