About this listen
Other venues might skip requiring COIs or hiring security - but does that actually make it the norm?
In this episode of The Venue Helpline, we unpack why insurance requirements and on-site security aren’t just “nice to have,” especially for venues serving alcohol or operating in rural areas.
We talk about what most insurance companies expect, real-life scenarios where security made a difference, and how to confidently enforce these policies without sacrificing professionalism or profitability.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why requiring vendor COIs is a best practice—even if nearby venues don’t enforce it
- How insurance companies view security, especially when alcohol is present
- Real scenarios where having security prevented theft, de-escalated fights, and helped during medical emergencies
- How to update your contracts and vendor requirements to protect your venue and your couples
