Unfortunately, we just can’t cover everything. Honestly, no insurance policy will. This policy is intended to cover the liability of the insured on the policy (usually the event holder). If the wedding venue used duct tape to hold up a door frame and it fell and hit a wedding guest - the venue should be responsible and will likely need to file a claim with their own insurance company.
Here are some types of claims that your Special Event Liability Insurance policy won’t cover:
Claims arising out of:
Claims of injury to:
This is just for your reference and isn’t a full list of exclusions. The full details of these exclusions and others can be found in the full policy document. Please call us at 530-648-1100 for the most current sample policy document.
Host Liquor Liability is the coverage for event holders that will have alcohol at the event, but are not selling alcohol. The liability could transfer from the drinker to the host when the drinker shows signs of intoxication and then is served, or is allowed to serve themselves more alcohol. Host Liquor will be excluded from the policy if the insured is in the business of selling, professional serving or distributing alcohol. If the insured is selling, serving or distributing alcohol, Retail Liquor Liability should be included on the policy.
Yes! We currently offer cancellation coverage for weddings. When the coverage is available, your client will be offered to purchase this coverage in addition to the general liability coverage.
Our least expensive policy comes with $1,000 deductible, however we also offer a $500 or $0 deductible. For our venue partners we suggest a $0 deductible. In the case of a covered claim for property damage to your venue, it is ideal for the policy to pay on the first dollar of the claim rather than your client being responsible for $1,000 when they may have already paid thousands of dollars to use your facility. There is a very minimal cost increase for the $0 deductible but it will offer you peace of mind when filing smaller property damage claims.
Common Additional Insureds are the owner, landlord, manager or tenant of a venue.
Yes! Contrary to what most people think, the event organizer’s insurance likely will not protect a vendor or the venue if a third party claim is the vendor’s fault. If the caterer causes a burn to the venue’s wood flooring and they don’t have insurance and can’t pay out-of-pocket, the event organizer could be stuck taking them to court or just end up paying for the damage themselves.
This is a tough question to answer because it can get very complicated. The driver’s auto insurance is always going to come first. And the laws on who is legally liable in a situation like this are different in every State. But, if a claim is made, the auto exclusion on the policy will apply. However, depending on the situation, the nature of the lawsuit and the State laws, if you are brought into a lawsuit the insurance company could provide you with defense.
Event Insurance is covering claims that arise out of the event. Our program is unique in that we have at least one carrier that is willing to provide coverage for the event if guests are staying overnight. However, if the claim is not due to the event, it may not be covered. If the party is continuing until the wee hours of the morning then the event insurance would still provide coverage. However, if a guest slips in the shower when they’re getting ready to leave the next morning, there would likely not be any coverage available for that injury.

Epoxy covering one the venue’s floors were severely scuffed after renters moved all the tables and chairs around dragging them along the floor. Cost to repair was paid at $13,000.
