What To Do If Your Wedding Abroad Is Cancelled

Dec. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- 1.   Immediately start looking on websites like http://www.lastminuteweddings.co.uk, http://www.whirlwindweddings.com and http://www.hitched.co.uk to get a venue for your chosen date or as close as possible.  You may even get the date you were hoping for at a greatly reduced rate.

2.   If a new date can’t be found, ask your chief bridesmaid to help you inform friends and family of the date change.

3.   After friends and family have been informed you must tell the vendors and try to recoup any costs.  The quicker you tell them, the most likely you are to get a refund.

4.   If you have to down-size your day because guests can’t make it, arrange a blessing for the summer months – it gives you a chance to wear your dress again too.

5.   If you're planning on marrying abroad, you must take out the right level of wedding insurance. Wedding insurance and wedding insurance for weddings abroad do differ. The latter should cover you for things like…

   • Cancellation and expenses
   • Rearrangement of Wedding or Reception
   • Supplier Deposits
   • Failure of Suppliers
   • Wedding Attire
   • Photographs
   • Video
   • Presents
   • Rings
   • Cake
   • Documents / Passport
   • Luggage / Property
   • Personal Accident
   • Wedding Cars and Transport
   • Wedding Flowers
   • Wedding Stationery
   • Delayed travel (to both your wedding destination & venue)
   • Professional Counselling
   • Legal Expenses
