What is Special Event Insurance?

When you’re throwing a party or hosting an event, getting sued is probably the furthest thing you’re your mind. But in today’s litigious climate? Maybe it should be the first thing you think of.

Whether you’re throwing a holiday party, fundraiser, trade show, wedding, or other event, you may need Special Event Insurance to cover your liabilities. This is a short-term policy that only covers your business for an event that it organizes. Whether you’re an event planner, marketing agency, or just a family throwing an elaborate wedding, Special Event Insurance can step in when you’re sued over the property damage, accidents, or injuries that “crash” your party.

Examples, such as a slip and fall or damaged floors are covered by this type of policy. Exclusions do apply

Do I Really Need Special Event Insurance?

The short answer is yes—the long answer isabsolutely. Most venues require that you carry Special Event Insurance so they know they’re not going to have to hassle you for restitution should things go awry. Beyond that, though, it’s crucial financial protection against elements you simply can’t control.

Planning a big day for yourself or a loved one ? You don’t want to leave anything to chance. It may be an additional cost to tack on to your bottom line, but take our word for it—if you fall victim to property damage or a liability lawsuit, you’ll wish you’d gone the extra mile.

That’s why you might want to get an AFIG Wedding and Event Insurance policy. This protects you, your guests, and your venue from accidents, unexpected damages and some wedding cancellation costs.

From bridal dress malfunctions, lost or damaged gifts, photography or vendor snafus, to venue cancellations, a single wedding mishap can escalate into major costs for you.

James and Mary spend months planning their winter wedding. But on the wedding day, their reception site is made inaccessible by an ice storm.

Here’s the solution:

Event Insurance can help protect yourself against financial loss that could result from a wedding mishap or vendor incident, so that the big day doesn’t become a big bust! We have basic policies, at a reasonable premium that provide a great deal of security.

Event Cancellation Insurance

Event cancellation insurance protects revenue or expenses from an event against cancellation, postponement, curtailment, relocation or abandonment of the event for reasons beyond the control of the event organizer. Some of these reasons might include severe adverse weather (hurricanes, tornados, severe winter storms, etc.), venue unavailability (fires, floods, power outages, etc.), threats or acts of terrorism and communicable disease outbreaks.

Why do I need Event Insurance?

If you organize family, business or community events, you know how much planning and effort is involved to make the occasion both safe and successful for everyone involved. Even with the most careful planning, unexpected situations can arise that you might not be prepared for. Without adequate event insurance liability protection you will have to pay damages and defense costs yourself. If the damages and costs are high enough you may suffer financial hardship or bankruptcy.
