When Event Insurance is Required
We require proof of liability insurance for events that meet any of the following conditions:
- Private Events with Alcohol Service
- Weddings, private parties, or celebrations where alcohol is served (hosted bar or cash bar).
- This protects both you and MUSE in the event of an alcohol-related incident.
- Large Gatherings
- Any event with over 50 guests (adjust number to your comfort level).
- Larger groups increase risk of accidents, property damage, or injury.
- Public or Ticketed Events
- Concerts, festivals, fundraisers, or community events open to the public.
- These often carry higher liability exposure.
- Third-Party Vendors or Performers
- If you are bringing in outside vendors (caterers, performers, equipment providers), you may need to list them on your policy.
- Special Activities
- Any event involving dancing, amplified music, outdoor use of the terrace/patio, or unique activities (photo booths, games, etc.).
Coverage Details
- We typically require $1 million general liability coverage per occurrence.
- MUSE, Sturgeon Bay (and optionally your parent nonprofit name if applicable) must be listed as an Additional Insured.
- Proof of coverage must be provided at least 14 days before the event.

Vendors:
Vendors need their own insurance and cannot be listed as an additionally insured on an eWed couple’s policy. eWed Insurance has a vendor link specially for wedding planners, DJs, caterers, and florists:
Vendor app: https://app.ewedinsurance.com/app/vendor-application.html?bID=64128
(Performers, Bartenders, makeup artists, and equipment providers, etc. need their own insurance, which eWed Insurance does not sell. Couples should ask to be added as an additionally insured with these vendors.)
