Wedsure Change of Heart coverage protects those who fund the wedding.
A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion, with a huge financial and emotional investment. Despite good intentions, occasionally, a bride or a groom gets cold feet and cancels the wedding. When this occurs, any money already spent or incurred on the event is lost.
When Change of Heart would apply
This coverage will repay expenses incurred by an innocent party financier, other than the bride or groom, if the wedding is canceled due to a Change of Heart by the bride or the groom, 365 days or more from the date of the first covered event.
When Change of Heart would not apply
If the wedding is canceled due to a Change of Heart by the bride or the groom, less than 365 days before the date of the first covered event or if the bride or groom are the financiers of the wedding, then Change of Heart coverage will not apply and the policy will not pay.
Wedsure, in partnership with Allianz, is the only wedding insurance policy in the world that offers this unique protection. Limited innocent party Change of Heart coverage is available in most states.
Gifts coverage pays to repair or replace gifts that are lost, stolen or damaged anywhere within the policy territory.
Host Liquor Liability is free with the purchase of Liability Insurance. This is a key wedding coverage, providing protection against bodily injury or property damage suits brought by parties injured as a result of an intoxicated guest who was served alcohol at an event you hosted.
Host Liquor Liability Example: At the wedding reception, you have a champagne toast and then serve alcohol to all of your guests of legal drinking age. If a guest became intoxicated, falls and hurts themselves while dancing on the dance floor or damages the venue, you may be sued for contributing to the intoxication of that guest. Host Liquor Liability insurance will respond and provide defense and judgment coverage in the event you are found legally responsible.

Most facilities require that an event holder/vendor add them as an Additional Insured on a Liability policy.
