Today, we are pulling another one from the archives! Normally, we are not ones to recycle information that we have already put out there, but because it is something that we answer on daily basis, especially since Hurricane Irma blew thru last year at the beginning of Wedding Season, we figured it was time to revisit the super important topic of Wedding Insurance this month…just in time for 2018 Hurricane Season!  One of our most important jobs as Wedding Planners is to inform and educate the client and after speaking with a current client the other day who was thoroughly misinformed, we figured this topic could stand to be repeated and refreshed.
