Nationwide Event Insurance: For Picture-Perfect, Unforgettable Occasions

Having trouble finding Nationwide Event Insurance? It is not quite clear whether it is available or offered. Not to worry though, there are plenty of other options summarized in the post below.

Policies like Wedding Insurance (also referred to as Special Event Insurance) are purchased to protect the wedding host/couple from financial and legal burdens that could arise from injuries or property damages that occur during a wedding or event. Also, most wedding venues now require it as well as part of the rental agreement.

Before purchasing a policy, check your venue’s requirements to ensure that all the requirements are being met, including the need for Waiver of Subrogation and/or Primary Noncontributory endorsements.

In order to make the below comparison as ‘apples to apples’ as possible, the below criteria was used:

  • $1 million / $2 million (occurrence/aggregate) liability limits
  • 150 guests
  • 1 day wedding/event in California
  • Excludes taxes/fees
  • Cancellation coverage option not included
  • Host liquor is included by all the carriers
