Where can I get liability insurance?
A certificate of general liability insurance in the amount of $500,000.00 or more must be provided prior to using the hall. If alcohol is to be consumed at your event, the certificate must state it covers this.
Most people contact their homeowner’s or renter’s policy agency to get this as most insurers can provide this as an add on to your policy.
There are also companies that do this independently. One option is K&K Insurance: https://www.kandkinsurance.com/EventsAttractions/Pages/Short-Term-Special-Events.aspx
Another is https://www.eventsured.com/
