Common questions about wedding venues insurance
Do wedding venues need public liability insurance?
Yes, public liability is essential. Wedding venues host large numbers of guests, often late into the evening, creating significant injury and property damage risks.
Does wedding venue insurance cover guest injuries?
Yes, public liability covers claims from guests injured at your venue during events.
Do wedding venues need business interruption insurance?
Business interruption is strongly recommended. If your venue suffers damage that prevents you hosting weddings, this cover replaces your lost booking income.
What level of public liability do wedding venues need?
Most wedding venues carry between £5m and £10m of public liability cover. The scale of events and guest numbers justifies higher limits.
Does wedding venue insurance cover outdoor ceremonies?
Yes, but make sure your insurer knows about outdoor areas, marquees and garden settings. Your policy should cover all event spaces.
