Cover Options
We think that having transparent pricing matters, no hidden costs means no nasty surprises and no time wasted. You should select a tier level that corresponds to the total cost of the wedding in the event of cancellation. All prices include Insurance Premium Tax (IPT) at 12%.
The whole situation leading to the claim was stressful and difficult, but Wedinsure's dealing of the claim was prompt and exceptional, and for this my wife and I are truly grateful.
The claims process for wedding rearrangement has been an extremely positive experience at what has otherwise been a stressful and difficult time for me personally... I would highly recommend Wedinsure to anyone.

Why do I need Wedding Insurance?
-
Whilst we hope your wedding day will go without a hitch, unfortunately occasionally things do go wrong, and when they do, then it can leave you significantly out of pocket! The average cost of a wedding in the UK is over £31,974*, which represents a major financial commitment. So, imagine you have paid that much money for your wedding and just a couple of weeks before the big day, you or a close relative falls ill and you are forced to cancel the wedding. If you haven’t got wedding insurance then you may just have lost £31,974! Wedding Insurance provides essential financial protection if things don’t go to plan. This includes cover for cancellation and rearrangement due to a wide range of circumstances. In addition, the policy also covers financial failure of wedding services suppliers, personal liability, damage or theft of ceremonial attire, wedding gifts, wedding rings, photography and more. Please take a look at our policy section to find out more information on the terms and conditions of the policy.

What Level of Wedding Insurance do I need and how much does it cost?
-
The level of cover required will depend on how much you are planning to spend on your wedding in total. Once you start to plan your wedding or civil partnership you should start with a budget in mind to cover all the key aspects such as venues, catering, photography, flowers, attire, cakes, entertainment, transport etc. Once you have an approximate budget in mind you will then be able to select a level of cover that meets your planned budget. For instance, if you are planning to spend around £20,000 in total on your wedding then you will need to get cover that will compensate you up to that level in the event of cancellation.
Wedinsure offers eight levels of cover with Tier 1 starting from just £50 for up to £5,000 of protection. So the price you pay will depend upon what level of cover you select. You can find out more about our various cover levels and prices from the Cover page. Wedding Insurance is a single one-off payment, making it a very simple and cost-effective way to protect your wedding. -
When should I purchase Wedding Insurance?
- We suggest that you take it out as soon as you've paid for any part of the event and you have a venue and date arranged, so that your deposits are covered. Wedinsure Wedding Insurance can be purchased a maximum of two years before the wedding date and must be purchased at least 1 month before the wedding date.
