What Louisiana venues ask for

Most Louisiana venues, including those in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, require a certificate of insurance naming the venue as additional insured before they will let you load in. Limits are typically $1M per occurrence and $2M aggregate at the baseline, with larger hotels and convention spaces asking for higher limits or specific endorsement wording. We match the certificate to the venue's contract instead of issuing a generic template.

Alcohol and liquor liability

Louisiana takes a permissive view of alcohol service, but venues still require liquor liability and most New Orleans hotels require $2M aggregate. If alcohol is on the menu, we add liquor liability to the same policy in the same flow.

Weather and the outdoor question

Hurricane season, storm surge along the Gulf, heavy rain, and coastal wind are the dominant cancellation conversation; outdoor events from June through November are typically paired with a named-storm endorsement. For events with real budget at risk we pair the base liability policy with event cancellation or parametric weather coverage. The trigger gets designed to match the actual risk you are worried about, not a generic template.

The Vendor Liability Program in Louisiana

If your Louisiana event has food vendors, beverage vendors, artisans, or service providers who need to show proof of insurance, one enrollment link puts every vendor on their own A rated $1M/$2M general liability policy with no deductible for about $100. Certificates route to you automatically. You stop chasing them at 11pm Friday.

Apply for your Louisiana event in about 5 minutes.
