Wedding Insurance


Recommended Posts

I read in a DW magazine recently that wedding insurance is highly recommended, espcially in cases where the wedding is out of the country. They mentioned that it was even useful for the recent Swine Flu epidemic in Mexico. I'm seriously considering purchasing some and I'd like to know if:

1). You guys think that it's a good use of money; and

2). If you have had any bad or good experiences with a particular company.

Thanks in advance for your reply!

I highly recommend my brides purchase enough wedding insurance to cover their venue & group hotel room deposit. In today's economy any company can go out of business and your deposit would be lost. The fact that you've just sent a lot of money out of the country just adds to the complexity. The insurance is generally inexpensive considering what is at risk. I've seen rates around $300 that will cover a $9K deposit.

Wedding insurance differs from travel insurance in that it also covers things like deposits of vendors who no-show; lost or damaged wedding attire and rings; stolen gifts; property damage by you or your guests; injury of a guest; severe weather; postponements or cancellations (say if a close family member became critically ill); and these sort of unanticipated disasters that are more specifically wedding-related instead of travel-related.

 

My TA recommends wedding insurance and she specializes in DW. She knows we're getting married in Mexico, so I'm assuming that there are companies out there that offer coverage for weddings out of the country.

 

I just started browsing the net out of curiosity and so far I've seen one that will give an online quote based on needs and one that offers a "Risk Assessment." I'll actually do more research if I decide that I need wedding insurance.

 

Please let me know if someone out there has already done the research. I'd hate to reinvent the wheel! :)

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
