- Protection Against Misbehaving Visitors.
Some home insurance policies include legal liability coverage intended to protect the insured and the host if someone is injured on the property. It varies depending on your policies because most event insurance policies do not specifically cover incidents involving alcohol served at the party.
The owner must include liquor liability insurance, a short-term policy only for hired professionals, including bartenders, chefs, and food vendors. - Event Cancellation.
A special event usually requires a major investment; a last-minute cancellation could be disastrous. Insurance can cover expenses imposed if a special occasion, including an anniversary party or wedding, must be postponed unexpectedly due to circumstances above any person's control. - Injuries.
Medical payments coverage is usually included in most home insurance which pays for injuries regardless of fault. - Property Damage.
The more guests you have, the greater the risk of an incident leading to property damage such as broken windows, fire, theft, and vandalism. A homeowner's insurance policy may cover them if the damages exceed your deductible.
