Money Box - MBL: Covid weddings
Arranging your wedding or civil partnership during Covid can be very tricky, especially as rules and restrictions change. But what are your rights if your plans are disrupted? Can you cancel and get a refund if your guest numbers are cut, you're told not to dance, or people - perhaps close family - are not able to attend because of changes to rules? Should you expect to be able to postpone without penalty? Can venues hang on to part of what you've paid up front? Is there any point in getting wedding insurance?
Our panel of experts can advise:
Pran Bhanot, litigation solicitor and wedding specialist at Meaby & Co.
Jemma Cox, Lead Officer for Civil Law at the Chartered Trading Standards Institute.
Wedding planner Jessie Westwood of Studio Sorores, who is also part of the #WhatAboutWeddings campaign.
We also hear from Hamish Shephard of the BrideBook app and our listeners' experiences.
