Protect Your Business from Bridal Blunders - Get Wedding Planner Insurance Now!
Let’s talk wedding planner insurance. If you are a newer wedding consultant, you might be wondering if getting wedding planner insurance is really necessary. There are no standards in this business yet, so no one will be breathing down your neck and asking you for proof of insurance. But as a rule, and in my professional opinion, it is necessary and you should have it. I have used Hiscox in the past, so I recommend checking them out. It all goes back to good ol’ Murphy’s Law. If you aren’t familiar with Murphy’s Law, it states that if something is going to go wrong, it will. It excites me to know you’ll soon have the latest dish on the horrors of wedding planning. Not because I’m sad*stic, but because it means you’re earning your stripes. I don’t want you to be the horror story, though. So here’s how having general liability insurance can save you from regret.
Bodily Injury
Just imagine with me for a sec—you’re setting up a wedding. Boxes of stuff are all around you. A guest (who is trying to be helpful) isn’t paying attention and trips over your boxes. She falls and lands on her wrist, trying to catch herself. She is in pain, and you get her some ice. Days later you find out her wrist is broken when you’re served with papers. She’s decided to sue you. Are you aware of the cost of medical bills these days? My son broke his leg last year and the ER visit was $24,000! $24,000!!! He never even had surgery or a cast, y’all. He spent a whole six hours there. Thank goodness for insurance! Having wedding planner insurance can help you defray the cost if Murphy’s Law rears its ugly head during your event.
Property Damage
Property damage is a little bit more likely than bodily injury at a wedding. I once heard about a florist who hung decor on the ceiling of a venue and when she took it down the next day, it had totally destroyed the custom crown molding. It was so bad she had to file a claim through her insurance company. Make sure you’re covered so you don’t have to pay for damages out of pocket if something like that happens.
Wedding Venues
Depending on the venue you choose, you may be required to have $1 million in general liability coverage, along with a certificate that includes the venue’s name. These requirements can vary greatly from venue to venue, which is why it’s crucial to do your research beforehand. By investing in wedding planner insurance, you can ensure that you are covered in the event of any accidents or damages that may occur during your client’s special day. Don’t let something as simple as insurance hold back your business – take the necessary precautions to protect yourself and your clients. Depending on what company you go with and what your needs are, you will likely spend about $300–$500 per year on insurance. Most insurance companies have monthly plans.
Wedding Planner Insurance Last Words
There you have it: Protecting your business from bridal blunders is an important task that should not be overlooked. By getting wedding planner insurance you can keep your business safe and secure from any unforeseen legal issues. Hiscox insurance is a popular choice amongst creatives, which is why you should consider speaking with a Hiscox representative to learn more about their offerings and exactly what kind of insurance policy would work best for your unique circ*mstances. Investing in a policy now can provide you with a great sense of security and peace of mind knowing that you’re covered if anything happens. Don’t hesitate to contact Hiscox today — one call could mean the difference between success and failure for your business.
