How special event insurance fits into planning, with links to coverage guides and quotes.

When hosts typically need coverage
- Venue contract requires liability insurance and a COI
- Permit office requires proof of insurance
- Alcohol will be served and host liquor liability is requested
- You are hosting on property you do not own
