Special Event Insurance

Keep Special Event clients focused on events, not costly litigation, with the proper liability coverage.

Events take hours of planning and oftentimes significant financial investment to  be successful. Event planners are tasked with ensuring everything runs smoothly down to the last detail. Should an unfortunate accident occur during any point of the event, planners can be held liable. Because of the nature of special events, a number of third-party liability risks exist. Keep event planners free from worry of a claim with proper  coverage.
