What is the average cost of wedding insurance in the UK?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12 · For parents

Short answer

We cannot give an average cost because prices vary widely depending on the level of cover, the size of your wedding and the provider. Some policies are very affordable, while others cost more for higher cover. Check a few quotes to find what suits you.

The cost depends on how much you want to insure, where the wedding is, how many guests you have, and whether you want extras like public liability or cancellation cover. A small wedding with a modest budget will cost less to insure than a large wedding with many suppliers.

Instead of looking for an average, think about what you need to protect. Add up all your deposits and expected costs, then choose a policy that covers at least that amount. If you are on a tight budget, a basic policy may still give you peace of mind.

Get quotes from several insurers and compare what is included, not just the price. A cheaper policy might exclude important things like supplier failure or extreme weather. Read the small print and ask questions if anything is unclear. Remember that insurance rules and prices change, so always check the latest information from the provider.
