The Final Countdown: Is It Ever Too Late to Buy Wedding Insurance?
In the whirlwind of wedding planning, it’s easy for some tasks to slip down the to-do list. If your wedding is just a few months, weeks, or even days away, you might be wondering if you’ve left it too late to get insured. The simple answer is: it’s almost never too late, and some cover is always better than no cover at all.
Better Late Than Never
While we always recommend buying insurance as soon as you start paying deposits to maximise your protection period, purchasing a policy closer to the date is still incredibly valuable. A last-minute policy can still protect you from a host of potential issues that can occur in the final countdown and on the day itself. This includes on-the-day supplier failure (e.g., the cake doesn’t arrive), accidental damage to your wedding attire, or loss of wedding rings.
What Can Still Be Covered?
It’s important to know that insurance cannot cover issues that have already happened or are known risks when you buy the policy. For example, you can’t buy a policy to cover a storm that has already been forecast. However, you are covered for a whole range of unforeseen events from the moment your policy starts. This includes accidents, illness striking the wedding party, or unexpected failure of your photographer or transport.

Many insurers, including iDoinsurance.co.uk, allow you to purchase a policy up to 24 hours before your wedding. It’s a quick and simple online process that can provide immediate and essential peace of mind during the most stressful final phase of planning. Don’t assume you’ve missed your chance.
