You've spent months planning. Thousands in deposits. Then: severe weather warning.
Without cancellation insurance, you lose everything.
What Event Cancellation Covers
Severe weather (storms, hurricanes, extreme temperatures). Venue unavailability (fire, damage, double-booking). Vendor no-shows (caterer, entertainment). Illness or injury (to key participants). Government actions (permit revocation, mandatory evacuations).
What's Typically NOT Covered
Change of mind. Lack of attendance (unless specified). Known conditions at time of purchase. Communicable disease (check policy carefully).
How Claims Work
Document everything. Save receipts, contracts, and communications. File claims promptly with all supporting documentation.
When to Buy
Buy cancellation coverage as soon as you start paying deposits. You can't buy it after a storm is already forecasted.
Cost Factors
Total event budget. Event type. Location and time of year. Coverage limits selected.
