Smart Protection for Your Special Day in Germantown, MD and Beyond

Planning a special event? Whether you're hosting a wedding, nonprofit fundraiser, cultural festival, or corporate gathering, CF Alliance offers event insurance that protects your investment, guests, and peace of mind.

General Liability Coverage

Protects you financially if a guest is injured or if property is damaged during your event. This is often required by venues across Maryland, including those in Germantown and the D.C. metro area.

Liquor Liability (If Serving Alcohol)

If your event includes alcohol, this coverage protects against claims resulting from intoxicated guests causing harm or property damage. It's essential for weddings, galas, and corporate events where alcohol is served.

Event Cancellation Coverage

Reimburses you for non-refundable expenses if your event is unexpectedly canceled or postponed due to covered reasons like extreme weather, venue closures, or serious illness.

Third-Party Property Damage

Covers accidental damage to a venue, rented equipment, or decor. If something breaks — from a sound system to a historic ballroom chandelier — you won’t be left footing the bill.

Hired & Non-Owned Auto Coverage

If you rent or borrow a vehicle for your event, this protects against liability if there’s an accident. It’s ideal for transporting guests, supplies, or staff.

Add‑Ons That Matter

Events come in all sizes — and risks. Consider these valuable extras:

Weather Insurance

Covers lost deposits or rescheduling costs due to unexpected severe weather — perfect for outdoor events.

Equipment Breakdown

Replaces or repairs damaged rental gear like tents, lighting, audio, or catering tools.

Terrorism Coverage

Provides peace of mind in the rare event that your event is affected by terrorism-related disruptions or cancellations.

Why It Matters

Because Your Big Day Deserves Real Protection

Events are about connection, celebration, and memories. But when you're investing time and money into one day, the unexpected can cost more than you think. CF Alliance ensures you’re covered — from venue requirements to “worst-case what-ifs” — so your focus stays on the experience, not the risk.

What You Need to Know About Event Insurance in Maryland

  • Do I need event insurance for a private party or wedding?

    Yes — many venues in Germantown and the surrounding area require proof of liability insurance for private events. Even if not required, it’s smart protection for your guests and your wallet.

  • Is liquor liability required if my event is BYOB?

    If alcohol is present, liquor liability coverage is strongly recommended — even if you’re not selling it. It protects you in the event of alcohol-related accidents.

  • How much does event insurance cost?

    Rates vary depending on event size, location, activities, and coverage limits. Most one-day event policies start under $200.

  • Can I insure a recurring event or festival?

    Yes — we offer both single-event and annual policies for recurring events, including nonprofit, cultural, or business functions.

  • How far in advance should I get coverage?

    As early as possible — many venues require proof of insurance at least 30 days in advance. We can also accommodate last-minute requests if needed.
