UK Wedding Insurance for Weddings Abroad

UK Wedding Insurance for Weddings Abroad

The price of a wedding in the UK is steadily rising, with a wedding now costing an average of over £21,000. Factor in the growing popularity of weddings in Greece, Africa, the USA, and other locations abroad, and the price tag is staggering. With a wedding abroad easily costing as much as a year’s wages, wedding insurance is an important necessity when planning a wedding abroad.

Many UK companies now offer wedding insurance, but not all cover weddings abroad. When shopping for an insurance agency to cover your wedding, be sure that the company covers weddings abroad and can provide enough coverage for your budget.

Following is a list of UK companies offering wedding insurance, along with some information about coverage and prices. You can find the right company for you!
