What is special event insurance?

Special event insurance, also known as one-day event insurance, can help protect you from financial loss for a specific occasion, such as a wedding. You can get two types of event insurance through Event Helper:

• Liability: The most common type of event insurance, liability insurance protects the event holder and the venue in case of claims resulting from property damage or injuries that occur during the event.^††
• Wedding Cancellation/Postponement: Available when you purchase liability insurance for your wedding, cancellation insurance covers costs in case you unexpectedly need to cancel.^** Plus, you can add wedding insurance coverage for certain items, such as cakes, dresses, and more.

Do I need insurance for my event?

Many venues will require you to purchase general liability insurance for your event to protect you and them in case someone gets hurt or the property is damaged. You might even be at risk of losing your event spot if you don't provide proof of insurance. But you could lose even more than that if you don't get the right coverage. For example, if someone leaves the plug open on a cooler and causes damage to your venue's hardwood floors, you could be stuck with a massive repair bill — as high as $10,000 in one case.

Fortunately, you can easily get the coverage you need through Event Helper. If your Event Helper policy doesn't meet your venue's insurance requirements, you'll get your money back. Plus, you'll get a 5% discount on your policy when you purchase through Progressive.^Δ
