insurance


When planning your big day, insurance probably isn't the first thing on your mind. However it is often publicised that the average cost of a wedding is now pushing the boundaries of £16,000 yet only a small percentage of people take out protection for such a big financial investment.

You'd certainly insure a car and your valuables worth this amount to avoid the risk of serious financial problems should the unexpected happen, not to mention the added risk of ruining your special day.

So what can possibly go wrong?

The following examples are just some of the genuine claims that have been received by the provider of Hitched Wedding Insurance - Ecclesiastical Insurance Office Plc - and resolved.

  • Brides dress hung too close to a light fitting and scorched - we replaced the front panel

  • Marquee broken into before the wedding, heaters stolen and cake knocked to the ground - we paid for replacement heaters and re-icing of the cake

  • Wedding rings, shoes and some bridesmaid clothing items accidentally taken to the tip along with some other boxes by the groom - we replaced the rings and clothing items, including express courier delivery for the shoes so they would be there for the big day.

There are four tiers of cover for you to choose from depending on your needs, and cover starts from as little as £48. The real question is, can you afford not to?

Cover Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 Tier 4
Premium inc. IPT £48 £60 £110 £160
Cancellation or Curtailment £5,000 £8,000 £16,000 £24,000
