Frequently asked questions
Why might a venue require event insurance?
The venue may require liability limits, additional insured status, and evidence of coverage to address claims connected with the renter's event.
Does homeowners insurance cover an event at a rented venue?
Do not assume it does. Location, event type, attendance, alcohol, business activity, exclusions, and venue requirements should be reviewed.
Coverage descriptions are general. Eligibility, availability, limits, deductibles, valuation, exclusions, and policy terms vary by operation and insurance market. Actual policy documents control.
