Whether you manage a venue, plan corporate events, or organize large community gatherings, liability risks are part of the job. One injury, cancellation, or vendor issue can expose your business to major financial loss. Event insurance helps protect your operations, reputation, and bottom line.
At Keisler Insurance Group, we provide event liability and property coverage for South Carolina businesses that host, sponsor, or manage events. From single-day functions to ongoing public events, our team helps you find flexible insurance solutions that align with your operations and risk profile.

What Does Event Insurance Cover?
Event insurance is designed to protect your business from financial loss associated with an event you are hosting or managing. Policies can be written for single events or on a recurring basis for businesses involved in regular event activity.
Typical coverage includes:
- Bodily Injury Liability – Covers injuries to third parties that occur during your event
- Liquor Liability – Protects your business if alcohol service leads to an incident (available for hosted or BYO events)
- Property Damage – Covers rented or owned event equipment, stages, tents, and venue property
- Cancellation or Postponement – Optional coverage that reimburses certain non-refundable expenses if an event must be canceled or delayed due to covered reasons such as severe weather, venue damage, or vendor no-shows
Our team can help determine whether you need standalone event coverage or if it makes more sense to add a special event endorsement to your existing business policy.
Who Needs Event Insurance?
Event insurance is essential for:
- Event planners and coordinators managing multiple client events
- Businesses and nonprofits hosting galas, fundraisers, product launches, trade shows, or conferences
- Caterers, entertainers, or vendors participating in public or private events
- Individuals or organizations renting a venue that requires proof of coverage and lists the venue as an additional insured
Even if your business already carries general liability insurance, you may still need event-specific coverage when hosting large gatherings, serving alcohol, or using rented equipment or space.
Common Scenarios We Insure
- Corporate parties or retreats
- Charity galas and fundraising events
- Public festivals or outdoor markets
- Concerts and entertainment productions
- Venue-hosted weddings and private rentals
- Vendor and exhibitor booths at sponsored events
If your business is involved in any aspect of event production, Keisler Insurance Group can help you meet coverage requirements and protect against unexpected claims.
