As with many types of insurance, it’s entirely up to you if you take out wedding insurance. But if you have any concerns at all about cancellations, your venue, your suppliers or anything else that you feel could go wrong and have an impact on your wedding, then taking out appropriate wedding insurance cover will offer you some peace of mind. Unfortunately, weddings do sometimes have to be cancelled or re-arranged for a wide range of different reasons. Wedding insurance is there to help make sure that you don’t lose money as a result. Even if the day goes ahead, other problems can arise and wedding insurance helps you to rectify them and pay for unexpected additional costs. 

WeddingPlan Insurance is a one-off payment rather than a monthly commitment for a period of time. The price you’re quoted for your wedding insurance is the full amount you pay.

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.

We’re able to issue a wedding insurance policy for weddings taking place at least 30 days after the date of purchasing the policy up to two years from the purchase date, as long as you know of no reason that may cause you to incur a claim before you purchase the policy.

Your wedding insurance cover starts the moment payment is received.

No, this policy will not provide cover for any loss, damage, claim, cost(s) expense or other sums, directly or indirectly caused by, arising or resulting from, or in connection with any pandemic, epidemic, outbreak of disease or public health emergency, as declared by the World Health Organisation (WHO), a national government agency/ body, local authorities, or any officially recognised body. This policy also offers no cover for any disease, illness or conditions that is caused by or transmitted by means of any substance or agent from any organism to another organism (human or otherwise) where the substance or agent includes, but is not limited to any pathogen, virus, bacterium, parasite, fungus or other organism, micro-organism or any mutation or variation thereof, whether deemed living or not, and whether transmitted directly or indirectly by means of airborne transmission, bodily fluid transmission, transmission from or to any surface or object, solid, liquid or gas or between organisms.

Yes, the policy will cover a wedding package organised by the venue, providing that all the elements of the package are clearly itemised, so do ask for an itemised breakdown of services and costs from your venue.

We don’t provide cover for wedding planners who have financial responsibility for the wedding budget, i.e. you provide the planner with a lump sum to arrange and pay for the individual services on your behalf. We would cover a wedding planner if you have a contract with them for planning the service only and have contracts directly with your individual suppliers separately.

Yes, our wedding marquee cover also includes loss or damage cover for tipis/tepees/teepees, wigwams or PapaKata tents. However, it will not be covered under cancellation unless owned and supplied by the venue. (* Marquee Cover is subject to an additional premium)

Only pregnancy related complications e.g. hyperemesis gravidarum or pre-eclampsia would be covered by your wedding insurance, providing they’re not pre-existing conditions diagnosed before purchasing the policy and are certified by a GP.

If labour begins at or after 37 weeks rather than 40 and there are no complications, then cover is not provided. If labour is early due to a complication that has been diagnosed after the purchase of the policy e.g. pre-eclampsia, then we would look to provide cover.

Personal liability for the Marrying Couple in the wedding insurance covers the marrying couple if they’re held liable for any injury to a third party person or damage to third party property. It does not cover accidents caused by anyone else - such as guests - and does not cover any liability that may arise purely because of any contract, such as with the wedding venue. Cover is not available if the ceremony and/or reception takes place in the USA or Canada.

Public liability for the Guests in the wedding insurance cover is an inclusive extension of personal liability for the Marrying Couple and covers all persons invited to the wedding or reception, if they’re held liable for accidental injury to a third party person or damage to third party property.
