What is one-day event insurance?

One-day event insurance is special event liability coverage for a single celebration date — a wedding, party, or other gathering — that helps address guest injury and property damage claims and provides a certificate of insurance (COI) for your venue.

How much does one-day event insurance cost?

Many one-day weddings, parties, and celebrations fall roughly in the $150–$800+ range depending on guest count, alcohol, limits, and event type. Get an exact quote for your date and venue.

How fast can I get a COI for my venue?

Many hosts quote online in minutes and download a venue-ready certificate after purchase. Buy before your venue's deadline — not the day of the event.

Do venues require event insurance?

Most hotels, barns, parks, and banquet halls require the host to carry special event liability insurance and name the venue as additional insured on a COI before the event date.
