Hello BDW, I read this article and thought it might be helpful to you: http://www.usatoday.com/money/perfi/insurance/story/2012-02-13/wedding-insurance/53083030/1 Here's a small snippet of the article Quote: Last August when the bride-to-be, now 25, booked a sprawling plantation on the Wye River for her reception, plans for the fairy tale wedding of her childhood dreams started to crystallize.

But by early December, the reception hall had filed for bankruptcy and gone up for public auction — without any warning to the Williams family.
