A certificate of currency verifies your insurance policy. It lists details like the expiration date, policy limits, and the names and addresses of insured parties and properties. If a venue requires you to have insurance as a condition of hire, you can present it to them as proof.
Once you’ve paid for your small event insurance policy, we’ll send you your certificate of currency automatically. It should appear in your inbox within a few minutes.
Your certificate of currency – also known as a certificate of insurance – expires on the same date as your event insurance policy. Event insurance only covers a single event, so it can’t be renewed.
Yes. You can contact Marsh to add a new interested party to your certificate of currency.
If an incident occurs, contact the Marsh events team as soon as you can. We want you to get the best possible outcome, so we advocate for you throughout the entire claims process.
Claims can be stressful, but – as the world’s largest insurance broker – we strive to make the process straightforward.
Interested parties are other companies or people who have a vested interest in your event’s risks being appropriately managed.
These include:
They may request a copy of your certificate of currency with their name noted as an interested party. You can contact Marsh to add them.
Event insurance can’t cover mistakes made by third-party service providers – like caterers and band members. If a guest trips and falls over wires laid by a lighting technician, for example, event liability insurance can’t cover the consequences. Only that service provider’s insurance can.
The small events insurance policy we arrange can’t cover an event you host on your own property. It also can’t protect equipment used solely for personal purposes.
If you need to protect your personal belongings, you may want to consider home and contents insurance.
Small events can involve just as many risks as large events. Some common risks include:
Every event is unique. Factors like the size, location and turnover of your event all affect its risk profile.
Event insurance is a one-off insurance policy designed to cover a single event (which could span more than one day). Entertainment insurance is designed for event planners and organisers who plan to put on more than one event in a calendar year.
