« I have insurance policies for what seems like everything…buildings, contents, car, travel, life. Do I really need to take out yet another insurance policy for my wedding abroad? It is really worth it?»

We have been asked this question many times by our couples. Perhaps you are asking yourself the same question? So…it is really worth it?

As far as we are concerned, the answer is a resounding YES! and especially so for a destination wedding. Let’s put things into perspective: you are organising your wedding in a foreign country, you do not know the local laws, you can’t be certain of the financial stability of your selected venue nor the reliability of your vendors and perhaps you don’t even speak the language! Do we need to say more?

For those of you who have chosen to work with a wedding planner, you may be thinking, but it is his/her job to ensure that my vendors are reliable, so I don’t need wedding insurance. Be careful! Your planner cannot know for sure the solvency of every venue, nor can he/she guarantee that your guests will not damage something in the beautiful, medieval castle you have chosen as your venue. The sad fact also remains that not all wedding planners are as experienced or reliable as you may think!

Don’t forget that wedding insurance will also cover things like your dress. Imagine your dress is damaged en route to your wedding destination or even worse, it is lost!

On the whole, wedding insurance is not expensive so will not put a big dent in your wedding budget. It will be one extra way to give you peace of mind which, speaking from experience, is one of the most important elements of planning a wedding abroad.

Leave us a message if you’d like to receive some addresses of reliable wedding insurance companies in Europe. We’ll be happy to put you on the right track.
