Our commitment is to make your experience at Forest Edge STL not only magical but also secure and stress-free.
Event Liability
An event liability policy is your safety net, ensuring that you won't have to bear the financial burden in case of unexpected incidents, such as injuries or property damage during your celebration. By partnering with Indemn, we've taken proactive steps to safeguard your interests, allowing you to focus on enjoying every moment of your special day without worrying about unforeseen expenses.
Event Cancellation
Recover your non-refundable deposits in case of unexpected event cancellation or postponement due to factors like extreme weather, immediate family illness, military deployment and other unforeseen circumstances. Their coverage also extends to additional expenses incurred to prevent cancellation, loss of deposits, special attire, gifts and more—even if the event proceeds as planned. Recognizing that unforeseen challenges can arise, their insurance ensures that making essential last-minute changes doesn't become a financial burden.
Common claim scenarios for a cancellation policy include event cancellation/postponement due to extreme weather, accident or illness of an immediate family member, military deployment, venue/vendor bankruptcy and more. Pandemic related cancellations and break-up/change of heart cancellations are not covered. Additionally, loss of deposits and extra expenses incurred even if the event does not cancel can also be covered.
