Event Insurance - Things That Must Be Included In Your Insurance Plan

If you are all set to organize a musical event, there are a number of things that you need to take care of. From finalizing the contract with the artists to arranging a venue and marketing your event, organizing a musical event is not easy. Even the most meticulously planned events have their share of risk and as an event organizer you need to take steps to protect yourself and your team against these risks. Insuring your event is something you need to take very seriously and choose the right plan for your needs. Here we take a look at some of the things that must be included in your event insurance plan.

•    Instrument Coverage –
This is something that you should always look out for in your event insurance plan. While choosing instrument coverage there are two important things that you need to consider. First the type of instruments that would be played at the event matters as the insurance coverage varies for these instruments. Secondly you also need to keep the stature of the musician in mind while buying an insurance plan.

•    Musicians Coverage – The success of your event solely depends on the musicians who are performing at the event and you should always keep yourself prepared for any unfortunate event. Your musicians may fall ill or can suffer an injury during the event, and all such cases musicians coverage comes handy. It would cover all the risks associated with such incidents and accidents.

•    Liability Coverage – This is another important part of your event insurance plan and it will ensure that you aren’t held accountable for any mishaps and injuries that occur during the event. You may have heard of several incidents of violence and stampede that often occur during the events. If you aren’t covered by a liability plan you will be to deal with third party claims. Also many event venues make it mandatory for you to have liability coverage as this protects damage to their assets.

•    Cancellation Insurance–
In spite of all the planning and marketing that goes into an event, there are chances that it may have to be cancelled due to inclement weather, artists not turning up at the venue or other problems that can be difficult for you to foresee. In all such circumstances, cancellation insurance help you deal with costs related to issuing refund to the audience, venue hiring, equipment hiring etc. Though it may not be able to cover all your expenditure, it will surely help in easing the burden off your shoulders in the event of a cancellation.

These are the types of coverage you need to look for in your insurance plan as they would adequately protect you against all the risks. If you need anything else, you can talk to your insurer and ask them for a tailored plan that meets your requirement. If you are organizing multiple events in a season you can bundle them and get a plan that reduces your expenditure. This is where you need to find a reputable company that enjoys good ratings among its customers.
