Property and casualty insurer Travelers Cos. released a list of the most common wedding mishaps that resulted in insurance claims from 2021.
Vendor-related issues topped the list at almost one-third (29%) of paid claims.
Other claims included:
- Property damage: 19%
- Illness or injury: 18%
- Severe weather: 6%
- Military deployment: 6%
This data comes as a record number of weddings are planned for 2022, according to The Wedding Report.
“It’s important for couples to do their research when planning for such a significant event, particularly when it comes to choosing locations, dates and vendors,” said Todd Shasha, senior managing director of personal insurance at Travelers. “Wedding insurance can also help protect against some of the most common mishaps.”
