Wedding Insurance?

[allison1229]

Hi, I'm having a destination wedding on Maui and am wondering if it's a good investment to purchase wedding insurance. Has anyone else purchased this and did you like the company you used? I'm also considering travel insurance and am wondering if anyone has an opinion of which is better for a destination wedding - travel versus wedding insurance. Thanks!

I'm curious about this too- I have travel insurance, but so far no wedding insurance...

I have purchased both. The reason being, I wanted to ensure that everything that I purchase related to the wedding is covered, to include the resort, photographers, DJ, etc. I don't want to lose any of the deposits or purchases paid in full in the event of any emergency. I purchased travel insurance because that will cover the flights and the actual stay at the resort. I am pretty certain that travel insurance does not cover the wedding at the resort, that is an extra item.  I am a very type A person with a plan A, plan B, plan C, etc. for all things so I like to be covered. 

 

My wedding insurance is through the Travelers Insurance company and the trip insurance is through Alliance (I think). Anyway, hope this helps, but feel free to ask any other questions.

Thanks for the info! I was thinking that both might be a good idea as well. I'll check out those companies.

Hi Kisha,

 

I'm trying to figure out what their "covered reasons" are for cancellation/postponement. Would you be able to tell me if its discussed or detailed out in your insurance policy.

 

TIA

Any Canadian brides out there that have purchased the wedding insurance? I'm not sure if the companies above are within Canada, and I'm considering getting the wedding insurance. Just not sure what company to go with.

I believe it's in your best interest to get insurance because things do happen. Better to be safe than sorry.
