Hi all, my H2B and I were talking last night about wedding insurance, are people getting this? is it worth it? I am just thinking its an extra cost.... advice would be great!
CommentAuthorOfficially Mrs M
we didn't get it and we booked 15 months before the date. We just booked the venue and church we left everything else to a bit later and if we did book we only paid the minimum deposit so if anything did happen we didn't lose a lot just the deposit.
personally i'm a bit against wedding insurance i think its just a scheme but then again its whether your a risk taker or not

It was the first thing i brought and glad of it for peace of mind.... our chair company did a runner so claimed on that and its nice to know its there incase anything happens. I know 2 friends whoc wedding dress shops have gone bump so definintly glad i brought it now. Do you research as loads of companies out there and read the small print but mine cost one off payment of £35 so not bad.
Finally marrying the love of my life !!

CommentAuthorvodkachick
i have taken out insurance and mine was also around the £35 mark and it also covers the stuff i have already paid out for....a small amount for peace of mind i think ....knowing that everything is covered just incase something does happen
CommentAuthorNatalie86
I will be getting, just because im a worryer so will feel better if its there xx
Yes! Ours cost £37 and I would rather pay that and be safe than have something happen where I could lose hundereds or thousands of pounds! xxx

CommentAuthorMrsC
Good post, its something I have really debated too. I think for less that £40 one off payment its probably worth it just for peace of mind. But I would say it probably depends on what kind of wedding you are having too and which suppliers are involved. I mean if your having a function room with Aunt Marge making the cake, Bill from the bowls club sorting chairs etc out and the three ladies from the school lunch hall doing a buffet then its probably not worth it.

I think its worth it. I will be getting mine next week. You pay about £35 to be covered upto about £7000. I would if I was you.
So lucky to be marrying my soulmate on 18/07/20

i have seen one for about £57 with John Lewis... let me know where you are looking as i have got no clue!
i think it might be worth having it as like you say if people dont turn up of companies go bust!

thank you millz - i have posted the link on my profile wall (first time i have done this so hopefully people can find it if they need to)
CommentAuthorVelcro
we're getting it, just for peace of mind more than anything, in the total cost of things, from what ive researched, its not all that much money
though really, the only think we're gunna need it for is the venue anyway, doing evertyhing else on the cheap and theres no way the MOSI in manchester is ever likely to go bust or do a runner hahah
It'll save me some sleepless nightes being paranoid for no reason though!

CommentAuthorJennyY
I would most definitely get it, I paid £27 for mine and its covered everything, so when my wedding dress shop went into liquidation taking my £600 deposit with them I was covered for it, there is a lady on here who paid the same shop £1000 cash and had no insurance so had no way of getting it back, so for around £30 I would most definitely get it so you are covered. You would like to hope that nothing is going to happen but you never know.

We haven't! Hope it doesn't bite us in the bum! We've at least put everthing on the credit card so should get some cover there! x

CommentAuthorJillianL47
It was one of the first things we bought. To be honest, we always thought it was something everyone got, so we got it too.
CommentAuthorStinky87
I was a bit against it to begin with but having had some interesting conversations with people for £37 it was totally worth it as i looked at everything i had paid out so far and it was already getting to the 3k mark and its alot to lose if someone falls though. I would chekc what they cover and exclude tho, i made sure i got one that covered deposits already paid.
CommentAuthorTori
I would definitely get it, the cost of it is small compared to the peace of mind it gives you and if you have to make even a small claim you will have more than your money back (although none of us do want to claim).
CommentAuthorShazk
I will be getting it like otehr for peace of mind as I will be worried and I dont really have the best of luck so if anything going to happen it will to me lol xxx
its like phone insurance isnt it its one of them if you get it likely hood is you wont need it but the 1 time you dont get insurance you break ur phone!!!

I'm getting ours from debs, £59 but we are having an overseas wedding so cost is higher for us xx
CommentAuthormillz090
Its good for peace of mind.... However don't know if it covers honeymoon? Wouldn't that be covered on travel insurance.... Maybe it depends on the policy xxx

I meant to get some but I kept forgetting and doing other jobs instead so in the end didn't have any. If I was to get married again (no plans to yet...) I would def remember to take some out. A wedding is a lot of money to risk really imo
CommentAuthorxbeckix88
Ive just purchased ours from a well known department store beginning with D. Was only £39, which is a small price to pay if something did go wrong x
CommentAuthorKayleigh
It's defo worth it, even for the peace of mind :-) xx
CommentAuthormillz090
Mine was £39 too which i thought was hardly anything for peace of mind and i have claimed on mine already.... chair cover company gone bust and i paid deposits and all covered. I think in our current economic climate companies are disaapering so worth the peace of mind, especially as only recently a few wedding dress shops have gone and shops may not have the money to pay out?!

After booking the venue and registrar the insurance is the next thing on our list!! Must admit it is not half as interesting as choosing the venue!!

We're getting it only because my h2b is a terrible worrier and will drive himself insane thinking that everythings gonna go wrong. I do think it is a very good idea as you never know what could happen xx

CommentAuthorMrs C to be!
We bought it as soon as we booked our venue and paid deposit. For a small sum it's worth the piece of mind, plus I know of people who have been caught out when their venue has gone bankrupt, and dress shops have gone under. My money doesn't grow on trees so I wanted to protect it. :-)

I bought wedding insurance as soon as we put the deposit down on the venue. Peace of mind basically! It wasn't much and I got it through one of those sites that's gives you cash back xxx

It's worth every penny for the peace of mind it gives. It will be the only thing you buy for your wedding that actually hope you don't get to use :-)

Want to take out wedding insurance too really, just not sure which is the best one to go with? Have looked on comparison sites and stuff and was gonna consider e&l but there's been lots of bad reviews about them, is there one that any of you can recommend? xxx
