Do I need insurance for a small $10K wedding?

Yes — even small weddings have thousands in non-refundable deposits. If your venue cancels, your photographer gets sick, or a guest gets injured, you're exposed. Basic wedding insurance for $10K events costs $150-$250.

What does cancellation cover for a small wedding?

Cancellation/postponement coverage reimburses non-refundable deposits for venue, catering, photography, florals, and attire if you must cancel due to covered reasons — illness, extreme weather, venue closure, or military deployment.

Does wedding venue liability come from my policy?

Most venues require you to purchase a separate day-of liability policy or add them as an additional insured. Your homeowners policy may provide some coverage but usually not enough for venue requirements.

What is not covered by wedding insurance?

Standard exclusions: cold feet/change of mind, pre-existing vendor disputes, normal weather (light rain), and events booked with vendors who were already having financial difficulties.

Can I buy wedding insurance last minute?

Most policies must be purchased at least 14-30 days before the wedding. Some insurers have a 14-day minimum; others require 60+ days notice. Don't wait until the week before.
