Protect your special event from the unexpected.
Special events are just that: special. Big or small, we offer coverage for events like an anniversary celebration, baby shower, bar or bat mitzva, quinceañera, birthday celebration or retirement party.**
Unfortunately, you can’t guarantee perfection. There are elements out of your control such as sudden venue cancellations. Travelers can provide you with help protecting your event, should things not go as planned.
What is special event insurance?
Special event insurance is insurance coverage for an event that generally involves vendors providing goods and services. Event insurance can help cover a broad range of risks. Some of these risks include the photographer not showing up, extreme weather and postponement or cancellation of the event due to a covered loss.
How much does event insurance cost?
The cost of special event insurance, including event liability insurance, will depend on the size and scope of the occasion. Talk with an independent agent to determine the coverage that’s right for your event.
How do I get proof of insurance for an event?
Venues may require proof of insurance. The Travelers event policy provides a Declarations Page, which lists information about coverages and additional insureds, if applicable.
Plan for the "just in case."
