Wedding Insurance Comparison

At what point in planning the wedding should the couple start their wedding insurance comparison? Weddings can take a long time to plan and coordinate. On average, popular reception venues can require a 12 month reservation. With coordination of the caterer’s menu, flowers, photographer, cake, alterations and wedding party attire, the happy couple can quickly become overwhelmed in all the details that make this special occasion so memorable. If something were to go wrong in the perfectly choreographed display, it could prove disastrous, not to mention financially...

Wedding Ring Insurance

A wedding ring is a symbol of commitment and everlasting love. So insurance is probably the last thing on a bride’s mind when she picks out her wedding set. While the sentimental value can never be insured or replaced, wedding ring insurance can give piece of mind.

A separate rider is required to adequately insure individual pieces of jewelry. An insurance floater will provide a specific coverage...

Wedding Liability Insurance

Wedding liability insurance is different than other types of wedding day insurance. Liability insurance protects the couple if they are held liable for any bodily injury to guests or property damage to the venue. Liability insurance can also cover against any alcohol related accidents that would be the responsibility of the couple with a hosted liquor liability option. Wedding liability insurance is not to be confused with wedding event insurance or wedding reception insurance which specifically covers the loss of deposits and defaults beyond the couple’s control. Many...

Wedding Cancellation Insurance

The planning of a wedding includes thoughts of the church, cake, flowers and the dress. One often forgotten but very important item is wedding cancellation insurance. What if something goes wrong? What if the reception venue burns down and you lose the deposit? What if the caterer goes out of business and that deposit goes down the drain? What if the airline looses that picture perfect wedding gown or custom made tuxedo? How about an ice storm that keeps all the guests out of state? What if the groom is deployed by the military at the last minute? What if? Nobody likes to...

Alternatives to an Expensive Wedding Gift

Many people have a hard time finding a wedding gift for the bride and groom to be. Back in the old days it was unusual for a couple to live together before they got married, but that has changed in today’s society.

That last sentence was a little tongue in cheek, but there is some truth to it. The possibilities are endless when someone is living together for the first time compared to someone receiving...
