Wedding Insurance - Should you play it safe?

2010-01-29T11:13:00.001-05:00

Wedding Event Coverage/Postponement selection protects the couples financial investments such as the wedding event cancellation, wedding vendor no show, military, sickness, injury, weather, postponement, lost deposits, and more.

Wedding Liability Insurance protects couples against financial liability arising from the wedding such as damage, personal injury to guests at the rehearsal dinner, ceremony site or at the wedding venue (Wed Safe, 2010).

Another type of insurance to include would be liquor liability coverage, which protects the couple from alcohol related accidents on the wedding day.

Is this interesting so far?
