Insurance Links for Resorts with Event Space

How insurance works at resorts with event space

Resort events are vendor-heavy by design. A destination wedding arrives with a planner, a florist, a band, a photographer, and often a caterer, most of them from somewhere else and none of them employed by you.

Your resort's own policy covers your operations. It does not sit behind a visiting entertainer's equipment, a planner's build-out on your lawn, or a guest injured during someone else's reception on your beach.

Two links handle the two groups: one for the couple or company buying out the space, one for the outside vendors they're bringing in. Both name the resort, and both certificates land in your inbox before arrival.

What you're actually exposed to

  • A guest is injured at an outdoor ceremony site, on a path to it, or during a vendor's setup.
  • An outside vendor's rigging, staging, or equipment damages landscaping, structures, or a pool deck.
  • A multi-day buyout runs activities your own policy was never priced for.
  • A visiting vendor carries no coverage, and the claim comes to the resort by default.

There are two links — most places need both

A renter's policy covers their event. It does not cover the food vendor they hired or the band they booked. Those are separate businesses with separate exposure, so they need their own coverage — and you need to be named on that too.

Whole-space link

For the person or company renting your entire space for their own event. They buy a TULIP for the dates they have the place, and you're named as additional insured on it.

Weddings, receptions, reunions, birthday parties, clubhouse rentals, conferences, corporate offsites, fundraisers, memorials.

Vendor link

For each business working inside the event — they buy their own policy for their own booth or act, and your grounds are named on each of those policies.

Food vendors, entertainers, product and merchandise sellers, antique dealers, clothing sellers, crafters, service vendors.

You can set up one or both on the same form below — there's no extra cost either way, and the renters and vendors buy their own coverage.

How it works for your grounds

Require proof of insurance from your vendors and space renters without collecting it by hand. One set-up, then the certificates come to you instead of you chasing them.

Step 1

You Sign Up

Complete a short one-time form to open your grounds' account — free, no obligation.

Step 2

We Create Your Links

We build a custom link for whoever rents the whole space, and one for your vendors.

Step 3

You Share Them

Put the links in your vendor packet, booth application, rental contract, or event page.

Step 4

They Buy Coverage

Each vendor or space renter buys their own event liability policy in minutes.

Step 5

Certificates Auto-Issue

A certificate naming your grounds as additional insured is emailed to them and to you.

Vendor eligibility

Your vendors are eligible too

It isn't only the person who rents your resort. The businesses that work your events can buy their own event liability coverage through your vendor link — for a single day, a weekend, or a whole season of dates.

Food vendors

Booths, stands, concession trailers, and food trucks serving at your event.

Entertainers & performers

Bands, DJs, dancers, magicians, face painters, and stage acts.

Product & merchandise sellers

Booths selling goods, gifts, souvenirs, or packaged products.

Antique & collectible dealers

Flea market, swap meet, and estate dealers selling from a booth.

Clothing & apparel sellers

Boutique, vintage, and apparel vendors working your market.

Crafters & makers

Handmade goods, art, jewelry, candles, and maker booths.

Service vendors

Rentals, staffing, inflatables, photo booths, and setup crews.

Other vendors

Host something that isn't on this list? Tell us on the set-up form and we'll confirm whether it's eligible.

Each vendor is named on their own policy and your resort is named as additional insured — so one vendor's claim stays with that vendor.

Ready to set up your link?

Set-up takes about two minutes and costs you nothing — the renter or vendor pays for their own policy. We provision your custom link from there.

Free to set up · No contract · The renter or vendor pays for their own policy

Set up your link

Complete this one-time form and our team will provision your custom link. You'll receive it by email once your account is set up.

The coverage bought through your link is a TULIP — a Tenants' and Users' Liability Insurance Policy. It's the standard way resorts with event space have renters and vendors carry their own event liability coverage, name the property as additional insured, and hand over the certificate.

Which link(s) do you need?

A renter's policy covers their event — it doesn't cover the food vendor they hired or the band they booked. Set up either link, or both; there's no extra cost.

What kinds of vendors work your events?

Tick everything that shows up at your events so we can confirm eligibility before your link goes out. Anything not listed goes in the box at the bottom.

We'll confirm whether each one is eligible before your link goes out.

Insurance limits you require of renters

These limits are automatically included
Personal & advertising injury
$1,000,000
Damage to premises rented to you
$300,000
Require a higher damage to premises rented limit?

$300,000 is included. You can require more — note that a higher limit carries an additional premium, which is charged to the renter, not to your venue.

Additional insureds & certificates

Add another additional insured?

Your venue is automatically named as additional insured. Turn this on if another party also needs to be named (for example a property owner, management company, or municipality).

Frequently asked questions

Do destination wedding couples need their own policy?

If your contract requires it, yes — and most resort contracts do. A one-time event liability policy for the dates of the wedding, naming the resort as additional insured, is the standard requirement.

What about vendors the couple brings from out of state?

They need their own coverage for the work they're doing on your property. A vendor link lets them buy for the dates they're on site, which is usually easier than getting a certificate out of an agent in another state.

Can a policy cover a multi-day program?

Yes. Welcome party, ceremony, reception, and farewell brunch can sit on one policy written for the full run of dates.

How does our resort get named as additional insured?

Automatically. Your exact legal name and mailing address are built into your link, so each policy bought through it names our resort as additional insured without anyone having to request an endorsement from an agent.

Is everything eligible?

No. Coverage is subject to the carrier's eligibility rules, and some events and activities can't be written. Your link tells someone up front if they don't qualify, so nobody shows up thinking they're covered.
