Liability Coverage for Venues & Attendees

Many Wisconsin venues require proof of event liability coverage before renting their space. This insurance covers injuries, property damage, or legal claims that arise during the event, protecting both hosts and attendees. Pairing this with umbrella insurance adds another layer of liability protection if limits are exceeded.

Additional Coverage Options (Cancellation, Weather, Liquor Liability)

Special event insurance can extend to cancellations due to severe weather, vendor no-shows, or unexpected closures. If alcohol is served, liquor liability insurance is critical for bars, weddings, and festivals where alcohol-related claims may occur.
