Does wedding insurance cover postponing to a new date?

Yes. If a covered event forces the wedding to move to a new date within ninety days, Wedding Insurance AU includes cover for the additional rescheduling costs. Re-deposits, supplier rebooking fees, and the difference a supplier charges for the new date all sit inside Section 2. No excess applies, and cover limits scale across the four levels.

How long do I have to set the new date?

The wedding needs to be rescheduled within ninety days of the original date for this cover to apply. Costs for the new date should be agreed in writing in advance.

If we move the wedding by a few weeks, is that still a reschedule claim?

Yes, if a covered event forces the date change and non-refundable costs arise because of that change. Every claim is assessed individually against the policy.

RESCHEDULING COVER

What if the day has to move, not cancel?

Q: Do I need a new policy for the new date?

Yes. Once the wedding is rescheduled, the original policy expires and no premium is returned. A new policy covers the new date.

Most disruptions move a wedding rather than end it. Rescheduling cover handles the extra cost of that move, so you're not paying twice for one celebration.

Questions & answers

Rescheduling cover — common questions

Cancellation cover (Section 1) is for non-refundable costs when the wedding can't go ahead at all. Rescheduling cover (Section 2) is for the extra cost of moving it to a new date instead. Rescheduling only triggers after a covered cancellation reason, so the two work as a pair.
