Public Liability Cover Upgrades

These days most wedding venues will insist that you have your own public liability insurance and even if they don’t it is something that you should consider.

When you purchase your wedding insurance through our website, you can add £2m Public Liability for all guests to any level of cover you choose for just £18.95.

For a small additional premium of just £44.95, you can also extend your Insured Couple Public Liability from £2 million to £5 million to cover your legal liability arising from accidental injury to third parties and accidental loss or damage to third party property.

Alternatively, you can add £5 million Public Liability cover for both the insured couple and all guests for just £63.90.

So what is public liability cover going to add to my wedding insurance policy?

Public liability cover gives you financial protection against claims made against you by third parties if they are injured during your wedding or reception. This could be due to property damage or some form of negligence by you or one of your guests.

A typical example could be one of your guests negligently:

  • Damages an expensive antique painting or vase at your venue
  • Spills a hot cup of tea over another guest scalding them
  • Causes another guest to fall over and hurt themselves

For peace of mind simply add this option to any level of policy you purchase.

Marquee Cover

For only £49.95 you can cover your hired marquees or gazebos (including fixtures and fittings) against cancellation and your liability in respect of accidental loss or damage up to £20,000, with a single item limit of £2000 for ancillary equipment.

Ceremonial Swords Cover

If you’re having ceremonial swords at your wedding, for an additional premium of £39.95, you can extend your policy to cover the loss or damage to borrowed or hired ceremonial swords up to the value of £20,000.
