Wedding Bells and Wedding Insurance!
Holly and Brendan had confirmed most of the details of their upcoming wedding by signing a contract taking care of everything from flowers to music to food. Optimism quickly faded when they found out that their venue had shut down without warning and their $16,000 they had already paid out of pocket had vanished with their dream of being married there. They were now stuck having to find a new venue, new vendors, and new money to cover all the costs as there was little chance of recovering any of what was lost.
On the other hand, were Josh and Kristina. They had purchased a $255 wedding insurance policy from Travelers for their wedding. Within one week of filing a claim, they received every little penny of the $13,000 they had paid toward their $22,000 wedding event. Yes, they will still have to find alternative venues and vendors to host their wedding, but unlike Holly and Brendan and so many others, they still have an open claim if they lose other deposits like the $2,000 they had put towards their wedding photographer.
Wedding insurance comes with standard policies costing anywhere for under $200 to $1,000 or more depending on the size of the event. They cover several things that can go awry. Such things could include lost deposits, repairs to the wedding dress, impact of bad weather, replacing a wedding ring gone missing, a call to duty in the military, damages to gifts, or even ruined photos.
