Venue Booked - Yay! Now for wedding insurance...

Please don't touch E & L! I have a horse and they also do horse insurance and are the cheapest etc. They NEVER pay out if something goes wrong! Honestly just google them!

I would like to know too of a decent insurance company as I need insurance but please don't waste your money on E & L

Great news on booking the venue. I second the comment about E & L, cheap but the bad reviews are why we didn't go with them, we went with debenhams cover. And you're getting married on my birthday, yay!

Hi

Congrats on your venue and date!! very exciting!

Another one against E&L, i googled them when looking into insurance and all i found is bad reviews. I ended up buying Debenhams insurance it was around £50 and if you buy it through Quidco you get £15 cashback (which I have just received) so thats an added bonus.

I was also confused with the amounts, from how we understood it was if for any reason you needed to cancel/postpone it you would get up to £3,000 for your venue etc, then up to £5,000 for your deposits etc etc. Hope that makes sense!!

I've decided not to take out insurance on my wedding. Some people think it's risky, but tbh, the only reason my day will be cancelled is if it snows so heavily that no one can get there. And no insurance will pay out for that.

No advice about insurance but just wanted to say how lush your venue looks!

I've got my wedding insurance from http://www.weddingplaninsurance.co.uk/index.html

P.S - Fab venue! Love it!

I am an insurance broker, and would highly recommend anyone to take out insurance in this current climate - mainly for companies going into liquidation than anything else. It would be devasting if you spent alot of time deciding and paying for something, only for the company to go bust and you lose everything and stat again.

Although you would be very very unlucky for this to happen with more than one vendor, I would stll recommend it.

I would also recommend a policy with Ecclesiastical. Although we do not deal with wedding insurance in my company, we deal with them commercially and they are great.

The cancellation and expenses sum at £3,000 will be anything not specifically list lower. So would cover venue and food etc

My OH doesnt want me to bother with insurance but i was about to buy one with E&L - until now!!! thanks for the advice!

No advice on the insurance but is this Crondon Park? If so it's a lovely venue, been to several weddings there and can recommend some suppliers in the area if you need them ?

Congratulations on setting the date, bet you're thrilled! xxx

I booked mine as soon as I paid my deposit on my venue.

I'm with Debenhams. I wouldn't go with E&L, only ever heard bad reports about them.

I would recommend insurance, it's always the circumstances you would never imagine i.e groom/bride parent etc.. taken ill, as well as the usual horros such as suppliers or venue going bust that could arise and put you in a position to have to claim or change your wedding date.

I went with John Lewis.

Oh crap! My insurance is with E&L! ? My OH works for the Financial Ombudsmans so if we need to claim and they dont pay out I will get hubby on the case.

Your venue is stunning!

I too have a horse and wouldn't touch E&L!! I use petplan and they are ALWAYS fantastic!

I'm yet to get wedding insurance but we are gonna go through john lewis

Thanks for the replies everyone sorry, about the late reply myself, been in Newquay for our anniversary, which also doubles as our engagement aniversary ^_^

Ooh, thanks for the advice about E&L :/ I'll have a look at the weddingplan one and Debenhams tomorrow, bit frazzled from the journey back and I still can't get my head around their plans, so I think a call is in order!

Hi MrsCoco, I completely missed your post, can't have been with it when I posted! Yes, it is Crondon Park Yes, please to recommending some suppliers, that would be fantastic!

I am very excited, though getting nervous as need to save up the money and there's less than a year to go, eeeep!!
