Can I buy wedding insurance after I've booked everything?

You can often take out wedding insurance at any point before the wedding, even after you have paid deposits and booked suppliers. However, buying early is wise because some policies only cover events that happen after the policy starts, and certain risks, like a supplier going bankrupt, may need to be in place before you pay them. If you have already booked everything, you can still get cover for cancellation, illness, weather and other problems, but you should read the policy wording carefully. Some insurers will not cover a supplier who was already known to be in financial trouble when you took out the policy. The best approach is to buy as soon as you have a date and a venue, even if you have not confirmed every detail. If you are unsure what is covered, ask the insurer directly before you pay. You can also check the terms on GOV.UK for guidance on consumer rights, though insurance rules can change. The key is to be honest about what you have already booked and to keep receipts and contracts as evidence.
