Insurance Requirements

Most events and reservable facilities will require liability insurance ranging from $300,000 to $1,000,000, depending on the type, hours, location, and function of your event. You will be advised by our reservation staff at the time you make your reservation of the amount required. Events with more than 50 in attendance or where alcohol is available will require insurance.

If your event requires insurance, you will need to provide a Certificate of Liability naming Washoe County as the Additional Insured no later than 30 days prior to the event. For reservations made less than 30 days prior to the event, insurance certificates must be received and accepted by the reservation staff within 48 hours of the time the reservation was made and prior to the start of the event. You are responsible for making sure your insurance certificate is received by the deadline. The certificate can be obtained through a homeowner's policy for private events, for company events through the company's insurance carrier, or by contacting a company such as www.gatherguard.com.

The insurance is important, failure to provide insurance by the deadline will result in the cancellation of your reservation.
