Wedding Insurance: What Do You Want To Know?

Posted by Khris in Wedding Planning

Hey everyone,

I’m researching a piece on wedding insurance and would love your questions about it. I’ll be in touch with someone from an insurance agency soon and will pass along your queries for our Q & A session.

Here’s an interesting tidbit: according to a recent internal survey from Travelers Insurance, they found that 62 percent of all claims came from vendor/venue problems, up nearly 20 percent over the same study from the previous year. (Vendor problems cover these types of issues: • The bridal salon loses the dress • The groom’s tux gets ruined • A ring goes missing • The photographer overexposes the photos.)

If you’re considering wedding insurance this is a great time to ask some questions!

Thank you!
