Though you might not want to think about it, disasters can strike
your wedding day. From a sudden cancellation to stolen gifts to a damaged gown,
wedding insurance can help protect you against the unforseen, and can also
afford you great peace of mind.
Wedding insurance is always a good idea but must for a destination wedding. The
price of a wedding insurance policy for a destination wedding varies depending
on the amount of coverage. Most policies cover the following:
Weather. If your wedding must be postponed due to bad
weather, your insurance should cover the cost of rescheduling. This is
especially useful for Florida or the Bahamas during hurricane season. But
remember, a few drops of rain isn’t going to qualify. The inclement weather
must so bad that your wedding can't be performed or the majority of your guests
won’t be able to attend.
Physical injury. If you, your groom, or other essential
members of the wedding can't make it due to injury, illness, or death, your
deposits should be covered.
Vendors. If any of your vendors don’t come through, you
can recover some, if not all, of the costs of rescheduling.
Additional riders
Military. If you or your groom is in the military and one of you is called
to duty, all deposits will be covered.
Wedding attire. Should your airline lose your gown or
your tux rental store goes out of business, the cost of damages will be
reimbursed.
Gifts. Sometimes this is covered by homeowners
insurance. If not, this additional coverage will protect against damage or
theft.
