Many wedding venues, restaurants, event spaces, and some clients may require general liability insurance before you can work on-site. A commercial general liability insurance policy for wedding planners could help cover some of the common business risks of planning or managing weddings and events, such as if a guest is injured during an event or if you or your employees accidentally damage a venue or rented property.

Coverage against business mistakes and claims of negligence

For example, if you’re accused of booking the caterer for the wrong date and your client is forced to pay more for another vendor, this type of business insurance coverage could help cover expenses to resolve the issue or legally defend yourself.

How can insurance for wedding planners help your business?

Wedding planners are often required to have insurance due to the risk of injury to clients and damage to venues and property. You might need insurance to:

  • Rent venues for events. Many require proof of liability insurance (also called a COI).
  • Protect your property. If inventory, equipment and the building you lease or own for work get damaged from an event like a fire, burst water pipe, theft or vandalism, business insurance could help you recover.
  • Protect client data. If sensitive client information is exposed in an accidental data breach, cyber liability insurance could help cover the related costs.
  • Hire employees. Most states require workers’ comp insurance for part-time and full-time employees.
  • Drive for business. Business-owned vehicles and personal vehicles you drive for work typically need commercial auto insurance in most states.
