It’s not me, it’s you.
That was one of the takeaways from a recent survey of wedding mishaps by property and casualty insurer Travelers Cos.
The insurance company found that the most common wedding insurance claims of 2022 stemmed from vendor-related issues, representing 31% of all paid claims.
Last year, vendors were also culpable for the greatest percentage of claims, at 29%.
“A couple’s wedding is supposed to be one of the best days of their lives, but sometimes things go wrong,” said Todd Shasha, assistant vice president of personal insurance at Travelers. “Being prepared and knowing the most common wedding insurance claims can help prevent costly disruptions from unforeseen events.”
In addition to problems with vendors, common mishaps included:
- Property damage (19%)
- Weather problems (16%)
- Illness or injury (15%)
- Lost or damaged attire (9%)
The survey asked more than 450 brides and grooms to identify their greatest wedding day worries.
Travelers conducts the survey because it also sells wedding insurance that provides coverage for a variety of potential wedding day challenges.
