That “shop around for insurance” advice? For wedding venues, it’s a fast track to higher rates.
The Shopping Trap
Table of Contents
Wedding venues aren’t like houses or cars. Most carriers don’t understand axe throwing stations or overnight lodging. When you shop around with people who don’t know the industry, you’re telling your story wrong.
The Access Problem
Once a broker requests pricing from a carrier, that carrier is blocked from other requests. If that first broker doesn’t know venues, you’re stuck with their amateur pitch.
What Actually Works
Smart venues find someone who:
- Knows the wedding industry cold
- Manages risk before selling insurance
- Has relationships with venue-savvy carriers
- Tells your story right
- Gets you real coverage
The Story Matters
Insurance isn’t about quotes. It’s about:
- Understanding your operation
- Identifying real risks
- Finding proper coverage
- Building relationships
- Preventing claims
Bottom Line
Stop shopping. Start finding someone who understands what you actually do.
