Venue Insurance Requirements

Most venues require event hosts to provide proof of insurance before allowing access to their facility. Understanding these requirements helps ensure a smooth process.

What Venues Typically Require

Venue insurance requirements vary, but most include a combination of the following. We review each venue's specific requirements to ensure your certificate meets their needs.

General Liability coverage (typically $1,000,000 per occurrence)

Venue named as Additional Insured

Specific certificate wording matching venue contract

Coverage dates matching your event dates

Sometimes: Liquor liability if alcohol is served

Additional Insured Endorsements

When a venue is listed as an "Additional Insured," they receive certain protections under your policy. This is the most common venue requirement and is standard with our coverage.

Certificate Wording

Some venues require very specific language on the certificate. When you submit your coverage request, include any wording requirements from your venue contract. We will match the certificate to their exact specifications.

Common Questions

How long does it take to get a certificate?

Standard certificates are issued within 24-48 hours of coverage confirmation.

Can you add multiple venues or additional insureds?

Yes. If your event involves multiple venues or requires multiple parties as additional insureds, include all names and addresses in your request.
