How to Prepare for the Unexpected :: Event Insurance
As an event professional, you’ve seen it all. Photographers go missing the day of your client’s event, gifts get stolen, and hurricanes can ruin a perfectly planned wedding. It’s your job to be prepared for the disasters that your clients might be faced with. Your clients should be prepared too – for potential financial losses if the unexpected happens on their special day.
