What is Wedding Planner Insurance?

Wedding planners are responsible for managing the logistics of couples’ big days, and planners may be held responsible if something goes awry. While a minor mistake may be quickly smoothed over, more major disasters often have undoable consequences. Wedding planner insurance can help wedding planners in Vermont protect themselves from many of the bigger risks that they face.

Wedding planner insurance is specialized commercial insurance that’s designed to meet wedding planners’ needs. So that policies can provide robust coverage, most wedding planner policies are underwritten with multiple coverages bundled together.

What Vermont Professionals is Wedding Planner Liability Insurance For?

Most wedding planners who work in Vermont should consider protecting themselves with wedding planner liability insurance. Wedding planners frequently have limited resources to resolve a lawsuit or claim with, and the cost of lawsuits can be high once legal fees and a settlement are factored in. With wedding planner liability insurance, planners have protection against some potential lawsuits.

What Coverages Are Available Through Wedding Planner Policies?

The coverages that these policies come with can broadly be divided into wedding planner liability insurance coverages and wedding planner property insurance coverages. The former normally protect against instances where a planner is held responsible for an incident that causes harm in some way, while the latter coverages generally cover assets owned by a planner.

Some common wedding planner liability insurance coverages are:

Commercial General Liability Coverage, which might cover common accidents resulting in injury to others or damage to others’ property
Professional Liability Coverage, which might cover incorrect advice that negatively and significantly impacts a client’s celebration
Commercial Umbrella Coverage, which might cover expensive lawsuits by providing a secondary layer of protection

Some common wedding planner property insurance coverages are:

Business Property Coverage, which might cover buildings, other facilities, equipment and supplies that a wedding planner has
Inland Marine Coverage, which might cover equipment and supplies when they’re moved between two locations
Business Interruption Coverage, which might cover continued revenue losses that are a result of a covered disaster

Mike Bancroft is simply an amazing agent. When my business got burglarized, I was so upset and didn't know what to do. I contacted Mike and he was very prompt in calling me back and he put my mind at ease. He made me feel so much better and handled all of the paperwork immediately. His customer service is top notch and I highly recommend him to be your insurance agent!

Our business was with the same trusted agent for over 20 years. Mike Bancroft offered to evaluate our policies and see if he could save us some money on both Workmen's Comp and general liability. He did, and in the process even moved us to better coverage. Mike also offers a superb quality of service. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Mike Bancroft has been great to work with. He has assisted with my Business Auto, Tool Coverage, Homeowners and all other types of insurance needs. I wouldn't be surprised if they change their name to Paige, Campbell & Bancroft soon!

Extremely prompt, personable, and professional service! Despite only needing a workers' comp policy for one employee, Paige & Campbell was very receptive and ensured to shop my policy around to ensure I received a great price that was almost half of what another broker quoted me.

What Types of Incidents Does Wedding Planner Professional Liability Coverage Protect Against?

Professional liability insurance for wedding planners is a form of errors and omissions coverage (E&O coverage). The coverage broadly protects against a variety of incidents where a professional error has a negative impact on a client. The coverage might apply if a wedding planner:

Reserves a venue for the incorrect date
Sends invitations to individuals who aren’t on the guestlist
Doesn’t correct mistakes on save-the-date cards or invitations
Fails to secure vendors as promised

An insurance agent who’s familiar with wedding planner policies can more fully explain what instances this coverage normally applies to. The agent can also review a specific policy’s coverage to check what sorts of incidents it does and doesn’t include.

Do Wedding Planners Need Commercial Auto Coverage?

Wedding planners generally use their vehicle for work, and such driving normally isn’t covered by a standard personal auto insurance policy. Whether a full-fledged commercial policy is needed, however, usually depends on what options a personal policy affords.

Some personal auto policies can be adapted to cover certain types of work-related driving, perhaps including the driving that a wedding planner does. If an option like this isn’t available, a commercial policy is likely necessary.

Evaluating a personal auto insurance policy’s coverage and determining whether a commercial policy is needed is something that a knowledgeable insurance agent can assist with.
