The Event Lady thinks this wedding insurance report by Wink News of SW Florida was a very informative piece indeed for our future brides and grooms, even quinceañeras will benefit from this information.

Most professional special event providers will not leave a bride or quince girl hanging. They call their customers, arrange to deliver the goods ordered, and give them an alternate contact phone or address. Reputable business owners will offer a refund if enough time is available, and if this unfortunate decision is taken last minute, a well connected vendor can call upon their wedding network or bridal associations in the area to help out in the messy situation.

This is a scenario most bridal couples do not want to experience. Yet, in today's tough economy, it is sadly happening to wedding and quince businesses all over Florida as well as many other cities. It can happen to large corporate chain stores, as well as a mom and pop owned brick and mortar stores and even Internet providers; no one is spared. So another word of advice is seek references. That way you know who you are dealing with.

Real life of course is not a fairy tale, but your wedding should be, so plan ahead!
For those involved with special event providers who do not care enough to do the right thing, well ... what can I say… that is why we have "wedding insurance."
