Say “I do” to Wedding Insurance

Wedding event insurance adds peace of mind to your piece of wedding cake

Like most brides and grooms, you’ve spent months planning your wedding in joyous anticipation of the perfect day. You’ve also spent thousands of dollars to make sure your wedding day lives up to your dreams.

With all the details that you need to worry about leading up to the “big day,” the last thing you want to think about is something going wrong. Protect your investment with wedding event insurance.

With Markel Wedding Event Insurance, you can rest easy that you are protected from the unfortunate and can enjoy your special day. There are two elements to protecting your wedding that can be purchased individually or, for the best protection, as a package. They are:

Wedding Cancellation Insurance or Wedding Cancellation/Postponement Insurance

With this wedding event insurance coverage, you are reimbursed for lost deposits if you must cancel or postpone your wedding. It also provides coverage for lost or stolen jewelry and gifts, event photography that isn’t delivered, damage to your wedding attire, and additional expenses you may incur to avoid cancellation.

Wedding Liability Insurance

With this wedding insurance coverage you are protected from financial liability if your venue sustains property damage or if someone is injured at your wedding. Many venues now require this type of wedding event insurance.
