Warwick, NY – December 1, 2004

Seely & Durland, Inc. now offers WeddingSurance®, BarMitzvahSurance®, and CelebrationSurance®, insurance products specifically designed to protect the consumer’s financial investment in a wedding or other special event, provided through RV Nuccio Insurance. This insurance package is flexible, with options available to allow clients to customize the coverage needed for their specific events.

“The total cost of a wedding or other special event can be substantial, all of which is at risk should something unexpected happen,” stated Coleen McAssey, Marketing Representative. “Too often, we read stories in the newspaper about the losses that people have incurred due to the financial difficulties of an event vendor. Today, this insurance is a necessity. And the flexibility of this program allows the customer to include only the coverage they need.”

The basic policy covers cancellation or postponement of an event due to illness or injury to the honoree and/or essential persons, damage to premises, wedding gown, special attire or weather that prevents honorees or the majority of guests from attending. It also covers losses due to failure-to-show of the caterer or person engaged to perform a ceremony and closure of the ceremony site due to financial failure. There is a $250 deductible. Premiums start at $195 and coverage can begin up to two years prior to the event. More details are available upon request.

Optional coverage is also available, including photographs and video, gifts, rented property, jewelry, special attire and personal liability.

“Many times, event halls or municipalities require certificates of insurance which this program can provide,” stated Tammy Artusa, CSA Supervisor. “Consumers should check on insurance requirements when planning an event and can call our agency to help meet those requirements.”
