Coverage of wedding insurance Different insurance companies have different types of wedding categories. Some of the most common ones include: personal accident, postponement/cancellation, damage to property, burglary, money and public danger. However, some insurance companies do offer certain specific categories of cover like food poisoning.. Selecting the right type of insurance cover With so many types of covers being available, you have to choose the right cover carefully. For that, consult an insurance agent or request your wedding planner (if you have one) to help you out in selecting the right cover. Also, get the details of every section covered in writing. Read it carefully and ask questions if you find some important points are not covered. Moreover, get in writing from the insurance company the method of claiming money and the necessary documents required to be submitted to make a claim. For example, if anybody falls ill at the marriage party, you will have to submit a doctor's certificate stating the nature of the person's illness. If you intend to provide cover to your relatives, you will have to mention their names when submitting the forms for buying the policy.. Choosing the right amount of insurance The premium of wedding insurance is quite nominal. For a premium of Rs 12,000, you can get an insurance cover of Rs 8 lakh, which covers all the categories of covers. But you can exclude some covers, thus reducing your premium amount..
