Special Event Insurance 

Summer is full of events and festivals. Whether you’re planning a big family gathering, a corporate retreat or community festival, special event insurance can provide financial protection against unforeseen risks.

What is Special Event Insurance?

Special event insurance is a short-term insurance policy that aims to financially protect event hosts and organizers from losses due to incidents during or before an event. It can typically cover private or public gatherings of all sizes.

What Does Special Event Insurance Cover?

The following are key components of special event insurance policies:

• Cancellation and postponement coverage can reimburse you for non-refundable costs if you have to cancel or delay an event due to weather, illnesses, or other incidents as outlined in your policy.

• Equipment and property coverage can cover rented equipment like tents, lighting, sound systems, and other items if they are damaged or stolen.

• Event liability coverage can help financially protect you against bodily injury or property damage to third parties.

• Liquor liability coverage can help cover incidents involving intoxicated events if liquor is served at the event or gathering.

You can generally tailor your coverage to match the needs of your event. Some venues may require certain coverages, especially if alcohol is served.

Why Do I Need Special Event Insurance?

Large events are typically planned far in advance, and it can be difficult to anticipate issues and delays so far ahead of time. Special event insurance can reduce your financial risk from unpredictable circumstances.

Furthermore, many venues require special event insurance before you sign your contract. This is especially true for large community areas and wedding venues.
