For every really fun thing in life – getting hitched, landing your dream job, having your first baby, throwing a party – there is also inevitably some not so fun stuff that comes along for the ride: office politics, dirty nappies, loading the dishwasher and wedmin.
.
If you are any distance along the wedding planning road, you’ll know what I mean by wedmin. It’s the admin side of wedding planning that no one warned you about when you were dreaming of castle venues and sparkly shoes and includes things like proof reading wedding stationery, arranging the table plan, working out your budget and (be warned!) writing your thank you cards.
.
One other item that falls squarely into wedmin is planning for disaster. Basically, no one wants to think about what might happen if everything goes wrong, so no one really bothers. In the words of Julia Roberts: Big Mistake. Huge.
.
Today, I chat to Brides Up North Featured Supplier Weddingplan about wedding insurance, what’s it all about and why you might need it. Feel free to skip if you like, but this post might end up being far more useful than any Real Wedding I could throw at you. It may not be pretty (and never fear, we’ll be back to that later) but it sure is practical.

What is Weddingplan and what services do you offer?
.
For an affordable one off fee, Weddingplan Insurance offers you financial protection for Weddings and Civil Partnerships, both here in the UK and taking place overseas…so you could say our main service is giving couples ‘peace of mind’.
.
With so many elements to a modern wedding, things can (and do) go very wrong for thousands of UK couples each year. But with Weddingplan, you can be confident that all your hard work, not to mention considerable financial commitments, in the run up to the big day are protected should disaster strike.
.
.
Why would I need wedding insurance – we aren’t planning on calling off the wedding?
.
That’s good!… but Wedding Insurance really isn’t for couples who are planning to call off their wedding. In fact, a ‘change of heart’ is one of the few things that Weddingplan don’t insure against! Wedding insurance is there to protect couples just like you against the unexpected.
.
.
Does every couple need wedding insurance?
.
Weddingplan is not here to tell you whether you do or do not need wedding insurance, we know that every couple’s situation is different and taking out wedding insurance is a personal choice.
.
As every wedding is unique, we’re here to provide you with details of the many cover levels we offer – so you can make an informed choice on the best protection for your wedding budget.
.
.
What does wedding insurance cover?
.
Every policy we offer provides protection against a wide variety of all too common scenarios. These include the cancellation and rearrangement of your wedding due to bad weather conditions or the serious illness of a key family member, the failure of wedding suppliers such as your venue, caterer, photographer or band and the loss or damage to wedding attire, rings, cake, gifts etc.
.
Weddingplan even cover deposits you’ve already paid, weeks or even years before you take out a policy. So as long as you have adequate contracts and receipts, the event you’ve been dreaming about all this time is fully protected.
.
For a limited time only, we’re also giving our policy holders an early wedding gift! Every Weddingplan customer is eligible to claim a discount of up to £300 off the price of their honeymoon. So as well as ‘loved up’ you could be ‘quids in’ too.
.
.
Can you give Brides Up North an idea on packages/ price?
.
Weddingplan are dedicated to meeting the changing needs of UK couples planning their wedding at home or overseas. Last year we increased our range of cover by 50% – giving customers more choice with 9 levels of protection!
.
Cover is available for cancellation fees totalling up to £50,000… and starting at just £18.49, it could costs less than a bottle of cheap bubbly! Did that surprise you?
.
Weddingplan gives couples the ability to tailor their cover, with additional protection available for marquees, ceremonial swords and extended public liability for the entire wedding party.
.
Our extensive choice of cover levels is one of the largest in the UK, putting you in control and ensuring you only pay for the cover your wedding needs.
.
.
What is the process if we need to make a claim?
.
Claiming with Weddingplan is easy. Our dedicated and friendly UK based claims team will guide you through every stage of the process.
.
Full details of how you can make a claim are provided with your policy documentation, as it’s important to notify the Weddingplan Claims Service as soon as possible after an incident. We also suggest you keep a record of any losses incurred, supplier contracts in place and the deposit receipt you’ve been given safe, allowing us to get your wedding back on track as quick as we can.
