#71 Wedding Insurance & Why You Need It

Wedding Insurance is VERY important, but not discussed enough or thought about when planning a wedding. Todd Shasha, a Spokesperson for Travelers Insurance, walks us through the ins and outs of wedding insurance. We talk about what it is, why you need it, how much it costs and some examples highlighting exactly why the investment is worth it. Liability, cancellation, ‘event insurance’...let’s dive in! Big Takeaways Many venues require liability insurance. Travelers bundles it’s special event insurance - per customer. (We are not sponsored by Travelers, btw. They contacted us wanting to talk about their product and why the topic is good for our podcast, and we agreed! If you want to look into event insurance, you can start online, and also contact your own homeowner insurance agent and see what they offer. Compare it all to Travelers and see what policy is best for you! Basically, we are encouraging all our listeners to consider event insurance for their wedding...lots of options, big price range...but we think if you are spending $20k or more on your wedding...you need insurance.) Weather is covered with these policies ‘Change of Heart’ is not covered under the insurance policies.
