Event planning company insurance typically costs $800–$3,000 per year for general liability plus professional liability. Costs depend on event types, annual revenue, and number of events. Ashmont Insurance Agency compares multiple carriers to find competitive rates for your event business.
Professional liability for event managers covers claims that your planning errors caused a client financial loss — such as vendor cancellations due to your negligence, budget mismanagement, permit failures, or failure to deliver contracted services.
Event cancellation insurance is a specialized product that reimburses costs if an event must be cancelled due to weather, venue damage, or other covered causes. It is separate from general liability and E&O and is typically purchased per event or per contract.
Your event management insurance covers your own negligence — not your vendors' actions. Vendors should carry their own insurance, and you should require certificates of insurance from all subcontractors. This is a key contract management practice.
