After all, the average wedding now costs over £17,000, according to hitched.co.uk. This may seem a staggering sum, but it’s easily reached once every detail from the ceremony, reception and evening party has been perfected.
Yet you can buy protection for as little as £50 to guard against any form of disaster ruining your big day. Before doing so, check what protection you have included in your household policy, so you know how much additional cover you need.
Various insurers, such as Legal & General and More Than, automatically increase household contents cover by 10 per cent one month before and after a wedding. However, your household policy won’t cover cancellation if, for example, a close relative dies or a supplier goes bust. It is for these eventualities that wedding insurance is worthwhile from providers such as Weddingplan, M&S Money and E&L Insurance.
