Postponing your event costs more than you think

Share this article:

When it comes to events, things don't always go according to plan. A venue that pulls out, a supplier who's ill, capricious weather... and the whole organization goes haywire.

When faced with an emergency, many people think that postponing is enough. But postponing a date often means restarting the whole machine - and incurring unforeseen additional costs.

The good news? There's a solution that's still not widely known, but it's frighteningly effective: the "deferral costs" guarantee.

When a simple postponement becomes a real headache

At Leeloo, we have a front-row seat to witness the domino effects of a postponed event.

A venue unavailable, a DJ unable to reschedule, an international speaker grounded by a strike... and all hell breaks loose.

Our cancellation insurance includes postponement costs to limit the financial impact of these unforeseen events.

It covers you if :

🟣 Location no longer available at last minute

🟣 A key person is unavailable (artist, speaker, groom, etc.)

🟣 Weather conditions make it impossible to hold the event

Why is it essential?

A postponed event isn't just a scheduling glitch. It's often :

  • Double costs: renting a hall twice, rebooking a caterer or band at a last-minute rate...
  • Non-refundable contingencies: deposits paid, penalties for changes, unavailable service providers who have to be replaced...
  • Costly disorganization: guests withdrawing, reminders to be repeated, loss of professional image

Without suitable cover, every expense associated with postponement is out of your pocket.

How does Leeloo protect you?

With the Leeloo deferral fee guarantee, you benefit from :

✅ Coverage in case of bad weather, unavailability of venue or speaker

✅ Coverage of additional costs required to maintain the event

✅ 100% online subscription, with just a few clicks and no paperwork

✅ Human, responsive support when you need it

Good to know: which events are covered?

Whether you're organizing a seminar, trade show, wedding, concert, fashion show or sporting event, Leeloo has you covered.

Our guarantees are designed for event professionals, with concrete cases taken into account, such as :

  • Wedding postponed due to air traffic controllers' strike
  • Unavailability of caterer replaced at last minute
  • Sports competition postponed due to extreme weather conditions

A postponed event is much more than a change of date: it's a major financial risk, often underestimated.

With Leeloo's "postponement costs" guarantee, you can avoid unpleasant surprises and stay on course, even when the unexpected happens.
