What Minnesota venues ask for

Most Minnesota venues, including those in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, 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

Minnesota has dram-shop liability and venues require liquor liability with the venue as additional insured. If alcohol is on the menu, we add liquor liability to the same policy in the same flow.

Weather and the outdoor question

Long winters compress outdoor events into May through September; lake weddings frequently include a weather contingency line. 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 Minnesota

If your Minnesota 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.
