    it will cover the top 2 but not if the groom does a runner

    for me its about protecting my day if a company goes under- if you are close to the day an insurance company will get you someone else quick totry and prevent the day being cancelled.

    i think when i'm closer to the wedding 'll be more bothered about getting married on that exact day and wll not want to postpone

    E&L are fairly cheap, a few people have used them on here and i plan on using them too.

    oh and they cover the 2 years up to the wedding.

    John Lewis also sell wedding insurance.

    I must admit that I insist on brides having wedding insurance because although I have my own insurances I don't want to be held responsible if a venue suddenly goes bust or whatever.
  • I've got my puppydawgs covered with e&l - I'm surprised they do weddings I thought e&l stood for equine and livestock :rotfl:
    Not a bad price tho :)

    Hi, our wedding is fast approaching (Aug 16th) and I must admit insurance is the one thing that has slipped our minds. I am now concerened about swine flu and the potential this has to disrupt our wedding. Is it likely that wedding insurance will cover us against this if the worst should and our wedding has to be cancelled for any reason?

    I am tempted to go with e&l due to their low premium and their level of cover is fine for us

    i hadnt even thought about insurance......

    how much should I be looking at paying......roughly lol

    is it worth it? for instance do they actually help if things go wrong, or is it like other insurance where they try and get out of it?

    still lurking on the wedding board tho :rotfl:

    :hello:

    e&l do cover illness so hopefully there are no new clauses

    I used e&l mainly because OH is in the army and they cover military personnel and it is very uncertain whether he will be sent off on a tour of duty! Fingers crossed not!

    If we're spending £2500 tops on the wedding and this is split between venue, ceremony, dress, rings etc, is it worth getting insurance?
