Wedding Insurance

Planning your wedding and choosing your suppliers will take quite a lot of your time. The last thing you want is to worry about are things going wrong, therefore taking out wedding insurance, as soon as possible, is a great idea!

Why?

Protecting yourselves for circumstances beyond your control is advisable especially when the average wedding costs £20,000. It makes sense to cover yourself if things don’t quite go to plan! The chances are you will not need it, but it's best to be on the safe side.

Where to start...

Remember to get your wedding insurance policy as soon as possible. It shouldn't cost you more earlier on and you will be protecting your investment straight away. With so much to plan, it's worth ticking this item off your list so you don't need to worry.

It's also worth remembering that if you pay with your credit card, you’re entitled to compensation from the credit card provider on anything you’ve bought for between £100 and £30,000. Beware that many individual suppliers do not accept credit card 

Who to choose?

If you are looking for peace of mind from a well recognised and trusted provider, we recommend the cover provided by John Lewis.
