Forget the groom not showing up, what about the caterers and the band?
www.covermyday.co.uk takes the worry out of weddings and adds some Virgin allure
www.covermyday.co.uk, a new online insurance provider, has created a wedding insurance product for the UK market and turned to Virgin to help launch the brand. If you are one of the first 10 people to buy wedding insurance from covermyday, you will receive a free Virgin Experince Day voucher worth £250. So, not only will your wedding be covered, you can help make it even more memorable by choosing from a wide range of free experiences such as balloon flights and spa treatments.
When planning a wedding, insuance may be the last thing on the 'to do ' list. But as the average overall cost of getting married is now £22,858, couples are beginning to see insurance as a priority rather than an afterthought. Moreover, with the effects of the recession placing many wedding-day suppliers at risk, there is added need to protect such a large investment.
Through www.covermyday.co.uk, you can buy immediate peace of mind. Comprehensive insurance is available and the standard policy includes cancellation, rearrangement, wedding attire, presents, cakes, rings, flowers, photography, transport and liability coverage. But most importantly, the policy also provides cover for the failure of wedding suppliers as a result of bankruptcy, liquidation and insolvency.
Gary Milton-White, one of the architects of www.covermyday.co.uk, explains why the covermyday initiative is right for today's market: "The recession has hit smaller businesses particularly hard and many have been forced to stop trading. This, together with the rising cost of weddings in the UK, underlines how unwise it is to leave anything to chance. Our website allows you to buy insurance quickly and efficiently so that couples planning a wedding have one less worry on their minds. Thanks to covermyday, you know that someone will pick up the pieces if things go wrong."
Insurance from covermyday costs as little as £100, which will cover cancellation costs up to £15,000 and supplier failure up to £4,000. At the oterh end of the scale, coverage is available up to £75,000 for wedding cancellation costs and £10,000 for supplier failure. And for those weddings requiring coverage in excess of £75,000 covermyday can offer a bespoke package with limits to suit your needs.
A unique feature is the covermyday provision for honeymoon cancellation insurance. For a further £15, you can buy insurance that enables you to recoup the cost of your honeymoon in the event that your pre-booked honeymoon is not taken as a direct result of your wedding being cancelled or rearranged.
Mr Milton-White believes that the covermyday approah will be a success with today's online consumers: "We're launching the brand with a competitively priced wedding product which provides some of the highest limits of cover available online. As the brand grows, our aim is to provide consumers with fast and efficient access to a range of private-event insurance products."
