Corona avaEverything we knew about wedding insurance crumbled when the Covid-19 pandemic entered our lives. It was an unexpected revelation for a lot of couples that their wedding insurance policy didn’t cover cancellation and postponement because of coronavirus – and we can’t blame insurance companies, as, otherwise, they would go bankrupt in an instant! But what we can do is learn to live in new realities, find compromises, and do the research to choose the best possible option for the wedding insurance market. And our goal is to help you with those tasks.

What else – except for buying wedding insurance – can you do to protect your wedding from mishaps?


There are approximately 2.5 million weddings every year across the United States. By itself, the industry is worth an estimated $55 B, according to a study from 2017, which was way before the industry (and the whole world) took an unprecedented turn due to this year’s coronavirus pandemic which struck the US and global economies hard and sent millions of people to the unemployment line.

Let’s think about those numbers for a second… 2.5 million weddings, that’s around 208K ceremonies per month, and close to 115 million tons of flower arrangements per year. Now think about how many people had to cancel or postpone their events when the pandemic started – unimaginable.

The truth is, the majority of insurance providers never thought we’d be in this situation, and so thousands of couples have had to face the grim realization of missing out on their big day and not having the coverage to fall back on to help cover the losses. Couples all over the country are scrambling to reschedule their weddings to the uncertain times that lie ahead of us in order to save their dreams of a perfect nuptial, and others have opted to adjust their ceremonies to the limitations of new social distancing requirements and lockdown measures.
