According to The Knot, the average cost of a wedding in the US has risen to $33,931 and the cost of wedding insurance is just $125 USD (subject to change) if you purchase the policy online from Front Row Insurance.
If you are spending over $30K on your wedding, it only makes sense to pay a few hundred more to insure it. A wedding insurance policy can help protect couples against the most common wedding insurance claims, such as alcohol-fueled guest injuries and property damage.
Below are a few wedding day “horror stories” to get you thinking about insurance:
New York Wedding Insurance | Wedding Insurance NYC
A New York couple’s wedding venue was destroyed by a windstorm. Tents were tossed by the wind and a cameraman was taken to hospital with a broken wrist. “I was ready to just run away,” lamented the groom.
The above example involves bodily injury and property damage, which are both covered under Commercial General Liability in a wedding insurance policy. A guest who breaks their wrist at your wedding may decide to sue you for damages and the wedding insurance would pay for the cost of a lawyer to defend you.
California Wedding Insurance | Wedding Insurance CA
At a wedding in California, the photographer had a great group photo suggestion on a nearby dock. The entire wedding party gathered on the dock and while posing, the weather-beaten wood dock collapsed under their collective weight and sent everyone into the water!
The above example also involves bodily injury and property damage, which are both covered under Commercial General Liability. This coverage is designed to protect against all sums up to the coverage limit that the insured shall become legally obligated to pay for bodily injury, property damage or personal and advertising injury to third parties arising out of the operations of the insured wedding.
