A wedding insurance policy is designed to provide cover for a couple who wish to insure specific risks relating to their wedding celebrations, subject to the policy terms and maximum claim limits.
When planning what will be one of the biggest and most expensive days of your life, no-one really wants to think of what might go wrong. Sadly, however, weddings do sometimes have to be cancelled or re-arranged for a wide range of different reasons and Wedding Insurance is there to help make sure that you do not lose money as a result. Even if the day goes ahead, other problems can arise and Wedding Insurance helps you to sort them out and pay for unexpected additional costs.

Cancellation or rearrangements due to family bereavement is covered under section 1 of the Dreamsaver policy if it makes going ahead with the wedding inappropriate. However, you must answer the medical declaration for the policy in respect of all people whom your wedding plans depend before you purchase the policy. If you answer yes to any of the medical questions with regard to a relative, you will not be covered in relation to that medical condition. You will of course be covered for anything unrelated to that relative's condition.
