Insurance for Entertainment Companies
Entertainment businesses face event-specific risk that standard commercial programs don’t address. Production insurance, event cancellation, performer injury, equipment coverage for touring, and venue liability all require specialty placement. We work with production companies, live event operators, music venues, performing arts organizations, and festival producers. We place production insurance, event cancellation, GL, property, workers’ comp, and specialty performer/talent coverage. Contact us to review your program.
What entertainment risk looks like
Entertainment businesses carry event-specific exposures that standard commercial policies exclude or sublimit. A music festival needs weather cancellation, performer no-show, and crowd management liability. A production company needs cast insurance, negative film, and errors and omissions for content. A venue needs liquor liability, assault and battery coverage, and equipment floater for in-house production gear.
Most general commercial brokers place these risks on standard GL and property forms that weren’t designed for entertainment. The result is coverage that looks adequate until a claim happens and the exclusions surface. We work with entertainment-specific carriers and program administrators who underwrite these risks properly.
Our entertainment sub-practices include music tours and festivals, performing arts and theater, high-risk live events, and entertainment business management.
