Guides for Brides have got your back!

Our thoughts are with those with weddings in 2020. When people are giving you different answers, appearing to "pass the buck" or dodge the question, you are bound to be anxious about your wedding plans. With weddings being postponed, it will also impact those with plans in place for 2021. 

It's an uncertain time for all, but we're delighted that our wedding venues and suppliers are bending over backwards to do what they can to help couples with weddings in the next few months.

Recently, we were told that a lot of insurance plans won't cover COVID-19. Whether you are insured or not, your wedding plans and any payments you have made are significantly more at risk than ever before.

That's where we can help

This is probably the only wedding you'll ever plan, so it's hard to feel you have much of a voice. If you found your venue or suppliers on Guides for Brides, we are here to support you and to fight your corner if needed. We've been in business for 25 years; we have many long and lasting relationships with our clients. We can try to help them make up for lost revenue; which is often all it takes to find a solution that everyone is happy with. 

To activate this protection 

Log in to your wedding planner on Guides for Brides. Add any relevant businesses in your suppliers’ list and mark as "BOOKED". By doing this, we will see that you have found your supplier through Guides for Brides and therefore we have a responsibility to mediate any issues between you and that supplier at this difficult time. 

Please do this now. It takes minutes and will give you peace of mind right through to your wedding day.
