Alcohol at Georgia events: host vs. liquor liability

Host Liquor: You serve alcohol but don’t sell it (e.g., open bar at a private reception). Often included within event GL.
Liquor Liability: Alcohol is sold or included in admission. Typically requires a specific liquor endorsement or standalone policy.
Vendors/Bartenders: Use licensed, insured providers. We’ll collect vendor COIs if your venue requires them.
Permits & compliance: Confirm local licensing/permits for alcohol service before binding.

Georgia event insurance — FAQs

How quickly can I get a COI for my venue?

Once details are confirmed and the policy is bound, same-day COIs are common. Send the venue’s exact wording so we include AI, P&NC, and Waiver when required.

Are my vendors covered under my policy?

Not automatically. Many venues require each vendor to carry their own GL and provide a COI. We’ll help collect and review vendor certificates.

Do I need Liquor Liability if drinks are “free”?

If alcohol is served but not sold, Host Liquor under GL may apply. If drinks are sold or included in ticket price, you’ll likely need Liquor Liability.

Will my venue accept an online event policy?

Most Georgia venues accept event GL with proper endorsements and limits. We tailor your policy to the contract and issue compliant COIs.

Can I insure cancellation due to weather?

Event cancellation/weather coverage is a separate specialty policy with specific terms and timelines. Availability varies—ask early.
