Insurance for Banquet & Reception Halls

General Liability Insurance Includes:

• Premises Liability – Premises liability insurance coverage is important for your banquet hall because you have so many people gathered together for events. If your hall caters to wedding receptions and other party-style events then there is added risk if alcohol is included in the celebrations. When people injure themselves in an accident while on your business property, they may sue your company – particularly if the accident happened due to a wet floor in the bathroom or other potential negligence by your employees. Premises liability insurance pays the medical bills of people who are injured, and it pays for repairs when a customer’s property is damaged there.
• Products Liability – If your banquet hall sells products such as special décor or props for events, there is a chance that you will be sued if one of those products has defects. When products cause physical harm to a customer or cause property damages to their personal property, your products liability insurance can help pay the medical bills and expenses that arise. This coverage can also help pay for your legal defense fees if necessary.
• Completed Operations – When you provide services to your banquet hall clients, they may feel they were injured or damaged by your services after the fact. Completed operations insurance protects you from these events. It can pay for your litigation expenses as well as settlements, awards or judgments.
