What they're actually asking for
What venues require
Almost always General Liability (commonly $1M per occurrence), with the venue named as an Additional Insured, and sometimes host liquor liability if alcohol is served.
One event or many
You can buy single-event coverage for one date, or an annual policy if you host or vend at events regularly.
How you get the COI
Once coverage binds, we issue a certificate naming the venue and email it to them — often the same day.
What we need from you
- The venue's exact name and address.
- Your event date and type.
- The liability limits the venue requires.
- Whether alcohol will be served.
