How It Works

Wedding insurance typically costs $150-$600 and covers $15,000-$100,000+ in losses. About 35% of couples purchase wedding insurance, and most venues require liability coverage.

The Formula

Cancellation Premium ~ 1-2% of coverage
Liability Premium ~ $185 base + $75 for alcohol
Weather Coverage ~ 0.5-1% of outdoor costs

Variables

  • Coverage — Maximum payout if a covered event occurs
  • Premium — Annual cost of the insurance policy
  • Deductible — Amount you pay before insurance kicks in (typically $0-$500)

Example

A $30,000 wedding: Cancellation premium ~$450, Liability ~$260 (with alcohol), Total ~$710 to protect your full investment.

Tips

  • Buy insurance as soon as you place your first deposit
  • Most policies exclude cold feet — they cover illness, weather, vendor bankruptcy
  • Liability insurance is often required by venues and costs only $150-250
  • Outdoor weddings should always add weather coverage
  • Read the fine print — know exactly what is and is not covered
