Special Events
Special Events
Rain or shine and from set-up to clean-up, event insurance provides peace of mind for everyone.
Even the most well-planned events are not immune to accidents and bad weather. Special events are exposed to a number of risks, and no amount of planning anticipates every possible outcome. We help protect your clients’ investments when things don’t go according to plan, providing them peace of mind on days that matter most.
We understand special events require unique protection, and our team is committed to delivering tailored insurance programs that exceed your expectations.
See our coverage options below to find the right insurance for your event.
Coverage options

Tenant Users Liability Insurance Policy (TULIP) is designed to provide short-term liability insurance coverage for third parties to use facilities or venues for specific events. It protects against claims by third parties who may be injured or lose property as a result of participating in an event.
