You’ve always dreamed of planning the perfect wedding, but no matter how carefully you plan it, there are many things that can go wrong. Whether you are just starting to make plans for your big day or have already made a deposit on the venue, the agents at Blais Insurance would like to remind couples about the importance of having a wedding insurance policy.

Imagine saving money for months, making a deposit, and then a hurricane derails your plans — a scenario that can happen to anyone as we head into the 2019 hurricane season.

That’s what happened to Becky and Aaron, who spent months planning their destination wedding to Cancun, Mexico, when the unexpected happened. A Category 4 hurricane swept through the city, making their reception site inaccessible. If the couple had the right wedding insurance policy, they could have been reimbursed for the lost deposits.

The financial cost of a wedding has skyrocketed over the last few decades, and for the average couple, weddings are roughly $30,000 when you factor the costs of rings, dresses, venues, food, photos, and more. Having the right wedding insurance policy can help mitigate significant losses from a variety situations.

Wedding insurance policies have helped people recover:

·      The cost of replacing or repairing damaged dresses and tuxedos.
·      Lost deposits from businesses that closed or filed for bankruptcy.
·      Expenses related to the repair or replacement of the bride or groom’s wedding bands.

These are just a few examples that highlight the importance of having the proper wedding insurance coverage. Help secure one of the most memorable days of your life, and speak with a Blais Insurance agent at 401-725-0070 to learn more about your insurance options.
