Vendor Insurance Requirements for Hosts
Host education on asking vendors for COIs - what to request, what not to confuse with your own event liability policy.
Vendor Insurance Requirements for Hosts
Venues may require your event liability policy and also certificates from caterers, DJs, and other vendors. This guide is for hosts learning what to request - not a marketplace for vendor policies.
What to request from vendors
- Certificate of insurance showing general liability
- Limits that meet venue minimums when specified
- Additional insured naming if the venue requires it for vendors
- Effective dates covering load-in through load-out
Keep roles clear
- Your special event policy: Event Insurance Hub
- Their business policy: send vendors to Event Professionals
