Wedding Insurance Millionaires

Unusual Businesses Ideas That Work:

When planning their wedding in late 1999, Karen and Roger Sandau were struck by how risky it was to give large, nonrefundable cash deposits to vendors without any protection if something were to go away on the wedding day. From a vendor going out of business to an important family member being stricken ill and unable to attend, the Sandaus thought of all the things that could possibly go wrong on their wedding day and wished they could find some way to protect their investment.

Finding wedding insurance available overseas but not in the United States gave the couple a great idea—they figured there were many people like themselves who would feel much more calm before the big day if they knew they were covered for unforeseen circumstances.

The newlyweds combined their expertise and started detailing the types of things the insurance would cover, such as severe weather emergencies on the wedding day, a damaged or stolen wedding gown, and lost or damaged wedding rings, to name just a few.

    Wow. Interesting indeed. One of the interesting business ideas I have seen in the Philippines is a cafe for pets. Pretty niche but it looks like they have a market :)

    I like this idea. I think wedding insurance would be worth selling. Now, if you could just get the major insurance companies behind you. I would like to learn more.

    I am very pleased with our company’s success, but even more so with the fact that we have successfully helped so many couples who encountered significant fortuitous problems on their wedding day from a hurricane to a bankrupt vendor.
