What is Debutante Ball Insurance?

Debutante Ball Insurance is a type of event insurance that protects you, the event host or organizer, from the consequences of claims for injuries or property damage that can come from guests.

It covers more than just the time you have set for the party. It includes coverage for the set-up and breakdown of the event, making sure you aren’t vulnerable to risk while people are working on your party.

What does Debutante Ball Insurance cover?

Your Debutante Ball Insurance policy can protect you for incidents where someone claims that you are responsible for their injuries or property damage. For example, say someone accidentally spills scalding hot coffee on a guest, ruining their expensive clothing. Debutante ball insurance could cover the damages from that claim.

Furthermore, Debutante Ball Insurance can help you if you need a legal defense, investigation, and settlement of a claim. This may be important if you are wrongfully accused of something or a fraudulent claim is filed.

Special event insurance protects you from the financial consequences of claims arising from these kinds of scenarios:

Third-party non-employee bodily injury

Pays claims where someone is accidentally hurt during the party and you must pay for their medical expenses, as well as other expenses, as a result of their injury. These are often slip-and-fall cases.

Third-party property damage

Pays claims where a third party (i.e., a guest) claims that you are responsible for their property damage and you are found to be responsible for such damage. For example, someone’s video camera is broken by a child sliding out of control on the dance floor.

Personal and advertising injury

If you are overheard making an untoward comment at the debutante ball and you’re sued for slander, this coverage can help protect you.

Damages from liquor liability

You could be held liable if someone is overserved, leading to an accident at the party or on their way home.

How much does Debutante Ball Insurance cost?

The size of your debutante ball will determine how much you pay in premium. Another factor that may affect your price is the location where your party is held. The cost of coverage includes liquor liability for an open bar or BYOB, but you may need to purchase additional liquor liability coverage if you’re selling alcohol.

Here is a range of costs for one-day events of various sizes (without coverage for additional liquor liability):

Size	Number of Attendees	Premium Range
Small	1 - 50	$149 - $159
Medium	200 - 300	$216 - $229
Large	750 - 1,000	$287 - $320

Who needs Debutante Ball Insurance?

If you are planning a debutante ball or any other type of coming-of-age event, you’ll want to get special event insurance. In fact, if you are renting a venue, you’ll likely be required to provide a certificate of liability insurance demonstrating that you have valid general liability insurance that protects the venue’s property and limits their liability for your event.

If you have vendors at your event, like a caterer or a band, you should ask them to buy their own general liability insurance for extra protection. When they get insurance, they should add you as an Additional Insured to extend their coverage to you. After all, if their mistake causes an accident at your debutante ball, you could still be held liable.
