Planning a wedding, a concert, a craft show or a charity fundraiser? Many venues now require proof of insurance before they will hand over the keys. The good news: you don't need an expensive annual policy to cover a single day. **Insurance Specialists offers quick, affordable event insurance for one-time events.**

## What Is Event Insurance?

Event insurance, sometimes called special event or one-day event coverage, is short-term protection for a specific event. It covers you for the dates of your event, and that's it. You only pay for the time you need.

## What Kinds of Events Can Be Covered?

One-time event coverage works for a wide range of occasions, including:

- **Weddings, receptions and rehearsal dinners**
- **Birthday parties, anniversaries and reunions**
- **Concerts, performances and shows**
- **Art, craft and vendor shows**
- **Trade shows and expos**
- **Charity fundraisers, galas and auctions**
- **Festivals, block parties and community gatherings**
- **Corporate meetings, retreats and holiday parties**

## What Does It Typically Cover?

Coverage options vary by carrier and event, but common protections include:

- **General liability:** if a guest is injured or a venue's property is damaged during your event.
- **Host liquor liability:** if alcohol is served and a guest causes injury or damage.
- **Additional insured certificates:** many venues ask to be named on your policy, and we can provide the certificate they need.
- **Cancellation or postponement (optional):** help recovering non-refundable deposits if severe weather or other covered events force a change of plans.
