Wedding Insurance

Hi everyone,

I've been looking into wedding insurance, but the more I look into it the more confused I feel :(

I've been reading threads about it on here, but they are all fairly old threads. So far I've learned that E&L are to be avoided, so I'll steer clear of them. A couple of years ago, people mainly seemed to be going with Ecclesiastical, but I'm not sure they do wedding insurance anymore.

Who are people here with and who would you recommend? :) Has anyone ever had to claim from one of these companies?

In true MSE style, I'm planning on a budget of between £2k and £2.5k and don't want to pay lots for insurance. Obviously though if something were to happen, I want decent insurance.

Thanks in advance :)

    I have just bought my insurance from Debenhams. Obviously I have no idea how good they'd be in the event of a claim (and I hope I never have to find out!!) but I thought the prices were reasonable. Their lowest cover would be more than enough for you, and costs £37 if I remember correctly. If you go through topcashback you get £15 back, and they are also giving a £5 voucher to anyone who buys their insurance before the end of August. Therefore the cost is only really £17 :beer:

    I went for dream saver wedding - £25 for silver cover and no excesses. Excellent reviews too.

  • Just looked at debenhams and they cover weddings abroad too!! Think I'll go with them to be honest, they seem to have good cover a d I've heard of them (which a lot of the insurance companies I've seen I haven't!)
