At Park Insurance, we understand how much it takes to run a successful wedding venue. But one simple slip-up and a subsequent claim against you for compensation could leave you thousands of pounds out of pocket. We aim to prevent that from happening with wedding venue liability insurance that protects you, your finances, and your business, so you can keep making dreams come true.


What can wedding venue insurance cover?

Because every venue is different, the best insurance package will be tailored to your specific needs. That means you'll get the level of cover you need without paying for anything you don't. We'll never try to upsell you on insurance you don't need, and we'll use our role as a preferred broker with some of the UK's largest insurance providers to hunt down the best deal for you. Our experienced team understands the specific needs of wedding venues and the risks you could face. As a result, we can guide you through the types of insurance cover you'll need.

What types of insurance policies are available?

From public liability to buildings and contents, wedding venue insurance needs to cover as many aspects of your business as possible. Your portfolio should include:

  • Commercial buildings insurance – ordinary buildings insurance won’t cover buildings used for commercial enterprises, so you do need to get the right cover
  • Listed building insurance and non-standard building materials cover - for listed or older buildings made from materials like cob
  • Contents insurance - includes equipment brought in specifically for events, such as lighting and sound systems
  • Public liability insurance – Essential for businesses of all sizes and types. This covers your legal fees if a member of the public sues you for injury or damage to property caused by something to do with your business, including cover for food poisoning and allergic reactions due to mislabelled food if you offer catering at your wedding venue.
  • Employer's liability insurance - A legal requirement if you employ any members of staff, including family members or part-time staff.
  • Event cancellation - If you have to cancel a booked wedding for any reason, your customer could sue you for out-of-pocket expenses and potentially more challenging conditions, such as 'emotional distress.'

The benefits of having Wedding Venue insurance

Weddings are stressful, and if you’re hosting big events all year round, the last thing you need is more worry. Wedding venue liability insurance takes away the anxiety that if things do go wrong, your financial future is safe. It also shows your clients that you take your role as venue provider very seriously, presenting a more professional image.


What isn't covered

Not every eventuality will be covered by wedding venue reception insurance. For example, cancellation due to weather conditions, if the bride and groom call off the wedding, or if you have to cancel a wedding event for financial reasons.


Do I need Wedding Venue insurance?

If you run a wedding venue business, you need to protect your assets. Just one issue, such as a guest tripping and hurting themselves, or a supplier failing to deliver on time, could ruin your business in one move. Your venue is your most crucial business asset, so it's vital to protect it and you.


How much does it cost?

Wedding insurance costs a lot less than not having insurance if things go wrong. At Park Insurance, we’ll never try to make you buy insurance you don’t need, and we’ll always work within your budget. You can spend as much, or as little, as you want.

When should I buy insurance cover?

If you open for business as a wedding venue, liability insurance should be one of the first financial protection layers you put in place. Our top tip: Don’t take a booking until you’re insured.


Do small wedding venues require insurance?

Any wedding venue, regardless of size, is better off protected by an insurance policy specifically designed for wedding venues. Remember that ordinary buildings and contents insurance may not cover you for wedding events.
