| Coverage Type | Cost | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Liability only ($1M) | $100–$300 | Injury/property damage at venue |
| Cancellation ($25K coverage) | $150–$500 | Vendor no-shows, severe weather, illness |

| Comprehensive ($50K+ coverage) | $400–$1,200 | Full protection including attire, gifts, photos |
Many venues REQUIRE a $1M liability policy before you can book — this alone costs just $100–$200 and is non-negotiable. Cancellation insurance is where the real value lies: if a key vendor goes bankrupt, extreme weather hits, or a family emergency forces postponement, you recover your non-refundable deposits. On a $30,000 wedding, $300–$500 in insurance protects tens of thousands in deposits. Buy coverage as soon as you book your first vendor — policies cover losses from the purchase date forward, not retroactively.
Wedding Insurance premiums are calculated from risk factors specific to your situation. Carriers weigh these factors differently, which is why quotes vary so widely. Your claims history, location, coverage limits, and deductible all interact to determine your rate.
The cheapest policy is not always the best value. Coverage exclusions, claim response times, and financial stability of the carrier matter when you actually need to file a claim.
