Conclusion:
Between the two insurances, both can have different purpose based on their policy. MSIG (Elite and above) would be best to avail if you’re planning to have your wedding shoot overseas as it covers loss and damage for your clothing and accessories. Consequently, Singlife would be the better option if you’re having both your wedding photoshoot and a wedding banquet overseas as it offers a pretty detailed coverage. You can be financially protected against unanticipated events, like supplier issues or lost wedding gowns and accessories which could compromise your big day— and we don’t want that to happen! They also provide liability coverage for guests in addition to covering medical expenses and trip cancellations.
