In partnership with K&K Insurance, we offer liability protection for short-term special events.

What is special event insurance and what does it cover?

Special event liability insurance covers short-term private and public events against bodily injury and property damage claims. Many venues require event organizers to carry liability insurance to:

  • Help pay for medical expenses if a guest is injured 
  • Protect venue property from damage, including the building(s) and any equipment
