Why do you need insurance for your wedding?

• Protect your Homeowner’s Policy/Renter’s Policy
  • Don’t take the chance of reducing your limits due to a claim at your wedding
  • Will your homeowners insurance even provide coverage for a wedding? Do you know?
• A banquet facility is requiring you to carry your own General Liability and Liquor Liability Insurance and your Homeowner’s Policy will not provide the high limits required by the facility or sponsor, and/ or will not add an additional insured to the policy.
• Homeowner’s Policy may cap their Host Liquor Liability limit at $300,000 or exclude host liquor completely.
• Personal Umbrella Policy may contain a Liquor Liability exclusion.
• Peace of mind your big day!  Make insurance one less thing about which to worry.
