Events You Can Insure

Hundreds of Eligible Event Types

The program covers events with up to 500 attendees. DJs, bands, performers, and booth vendors can also buy daily coverage of their own. Eligibility depends on your event's type, size, and location. Coverage is not currently available for venues in Colorado, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Vermont, or Washington.

Coverage Options

What Event Liability Insurance Can Include

Your exact coverage, limits, and price depend on your event and are shown in your quote before you buy.

Event Liability

General liability for injuries or property damage claims from guests and others at your event, with limits up to $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate.

Host Liquor Liability

Up to $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate when you serve or provide alcohol to your guests. It doesn't cover anyone in the business of selling or serving alcohol, such as a bar or caterer.

Damage to Rented Premises

Coverage up to $1 million for damage to the venue you're renting, which many venue contracts require.

Set-Up & Take-Down

Coverage for the time you spend setting up and cleaning up, at no extra charge when you include those dates in your quote.

Wedding Rehearsal & Brunch

Coverage for your wedding rehearsal and a wedding breakfast or brunch is available at no extra charge.

Events That Run Late

An event that continues past midnight is still treated as one day, so you're covered until it ends.

What's Typically Not Covered

Based on the program's sample Tennessee policy, these are excluded unless they're specifically added to your policy:

  • Bounce houses and other inflatables, water slides, trampolines, and climbing walls
  • Amusement rides, fireworks, and pyrotechnics
  • Animals
  • Swimming pools
  • Injuries to people participating in games, contests, shows, or parades
  • Selling or serving alcohol as a business

Your quote and policy documents list the exclusions that apply to your event. Questions? Call us before you buy.

Venue Insurance Requirements

Meet Your Venue's Requirements

Many venues, from wedding barns to church halls, won't confirm your booking until you send a certificate of insurance. Most ask to be named as an additional insured, and some require specific liability limits or extra wording on the certificate.

Ask your venue for its insurance requirements before you quote, so you can make sure your coverage matches.

Certificate of Insurance

Your certificate is generated automatically when you purchase, so you can send it to your venue right away.

Additional Insureds

Add your venue and anyone else your contract requires during checkout.

Venue Requirements

For venues in the program's directory, the venue's insurance requirements are filled in automatically.

Primary & Noncontributory

Applies automatically when your written venue contract requires it, and a waiver of subrogation can be added at no additional cost.

FAQ

Common Questions

How do I get a special event insurance quote?

Click "Get an Event Insurance Quote" on this page. It opens our insurance partner's secure quoting website, where you enter your event's location, type, date, and guest count. If your event is eligible, you'll see your options and price, and you can purchase coverage and download your certificate of insurance online.

Does my venue require event insurance?

Many venues require renters to carry event liability insurance and to list the venue as an additional insured on the certificate. Check your rental agreement or ask the venue for its insurance requirements before you buy, including the liability limits it needs.

Does every event qualify?

No. Eligibility depends on the type of event, the number of attendees, the venue's location, and other details you'll enter when you quote. Coverage is not currently available for venues in Colorado, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Vermont, or Washington. If your event isn't eligible online, call us and we'll see what other options may be available.

Is special event insurance available in Tennessee?

Yes. The program is available for events at Tennessee venues, including events in Spring Hill, Franklin, Columbia, Nashville, and across the state, as well as in most other states. In Tennessee, coverage is written on an admitted basis by Diamond State Insurance Company, a Global Indemnity company with an "A" (Excellent) group rating from AM Best.

Does event insurance cover a bounce house or other rented activities?

Usually not. The program's sample Tennessee policy excludes inflatables such as bounce houses, along with water slides, trampolines, climbing walls, amusement rides, fireworks, and animals, unless they're specifically added to the policy. If you're renting a bounce house or similar equipment, ask the rental company for a certificate of insurance showing its own liability coverage.

Can I add my venue as an additional insured?

Yes. You can add the venue and any other required additional insureds during the purchase process, and the certificate is generated automatically. If you need to add someone after you buy, the program's support team can help.
