So, you've already interviewed dozens of Entertainers, selected the one you felt most comfortable with, and sealed your date with a legal contract and retainer fee. Your on your way to an excellent evening filled with Formalities, Dancing and other exciting activities, when the venue manager asks you one of the biggest questions....which you may have forgotten to ask your DJ... "The entertainer you have performing is Insured, am I correct?" More than 70% of venues (Banquet Halls) across the United States are requiring that every vendor who steps through their doors, carry some type of Insurance, including Entertainers. Some venues even require a specific type of insurance with a specific amount of Insurance coverage. Consult with the venue manager for details. If your entertainer is not insured, you will either have to find a new entertainer or find a new venue...both of which are not easy tasks. The most common type of Insurance is Liability coverage that not only covers the venue, if the entertainers equipment causes interior and/or exterior damage, but it also protects your guests. In the event that the entertainer forgot to tape down a cable that your aunt Rosie trips over and goes to the hospital....the entertainer is fully responsible. Not the venue or caterer and definitely not you. Choosing an Entertainer who is Fully Insured from the start, will save you time, money and you will not have to battle in court if any accidents do occur. Accidents can not be planned, they just happen. Thompson Entertainment is fully insured by the renowned "Travelers Insurance" (as seen on Television).
