What is a wedding loan?
A wedding loan is a type of personal loan used to pay for your wedding costs. Most wedding loans are unsecured loans, which means they aren’t backed by property or collateral of any kind. There may be an option to secure your personal loan through Upstart with your vehicle, which will require a lien to be placed on the vehicle.
When you apply for a loan through us, you’ll receive your loan funds in one lump sum. You can then use the money to pay for a ring, venue, caterers, or any other wedding-related expense.When does it make sense to use a personal loan for wedding expenses?
