Wedding Insurance -do we need it?

Wedding Insurance-do we need it? Unforeseeable events can happen on your wedding day. From stolen wedding gifts to a damaged wedding dress, wedding insurance can help protect you against wedding disaster, and can also buy you peace of mind. What Is Wedding Insurance? Wedding insurance protects a couple's investment from circumstances beyond their control, and reimburses expenses incurred. For example, what if your caterer doesn't show up and you have to book another one the morning of the wedding for double the price. Or what if the brides wedding gown is lost in baggage claims at the airport and she has to purchase another one the day before the wedding? What if your venue space goes out of business a month before the wedding, and you lose your deposit and have to book another space? These are the types of wedding day financial losses that wedding insurance can help to protect. Why Get Wedding Insurance? Consider these scenarios:

• The groom's mother is injured in a car accident just before the wedding and cannot travel. If the couple has to postpone their wedding, with wedding insurance they could be paid back their expenses to enable them to have the wedding when the mother recovers.
• The day before the wedding, Janets gown is stolen at the seamstress studio.  Now, she has no dress. Fortunately, the right insurance policy covers the replacement of the gown.
