3 reasons why you need venue rental insurance | Natural Light Studio in Dublin, Ca
INSURANCE! Ah! That word could make any creative cringe, and yet, it’s essential to all our businesses, right? Insurance is one of those things that you know you need but going through the process, making sure you have the RIGHT insurance, and just….all the questions, it’s enough to make your head spin.
Well, we have good news for you! Wether you’re a photographer or renting the space to throw your BFF a bridal shower, you need insurance and we have a quick + painless way to get it!
We want you to be safe and at peace while using the space. Creating is SO dang hard if you’re worrying about important things like insurance. This is why we are sharing with you 3 reasons why you need venue insurance + our go to site that literally gives you insurance in under 60 seconds. Whaaat?! Yep, you read that right! Read on to learn all about it!
#1 You can’t rent the space without insurance
Thats a pretty good reason why. This policy was made by us + also our landlord based on our business model. It’s just legal stuff to make sure everyone’s bums are covered + safe. :) No insurance? No shooty- shooty. haha
#2 Insurance gives you peace of mind
I don’t know about you, but when my mind is full of “stuff” it’s really hard to make space for inspiration, thought + dreaming. It’s that nagging feeling like you’ve forgotten to turn the oven off when you leave for a road trip or when you drop your kiddos at the sitters for the first time: It’s a feeling all of us know well. Having peace of mind helps us create what we were meant to create and having a nagging feeling like you’re forgetting something gets in the way of us creating MAGIC. We all want that.
How do combat the nagging feeling? We seek peace of mind! Before you leave for your road trip, you double check everything, make sure the oven is off, doors are locked. Peace of mind. Dropping your kiddo off at the sitters for the first time? Yeah, nerve WRACKING. How do you combat that? You talk to your friend, mom, nanny, whoever. Walk around the house, talk through your kiddos’ routine and leave your cell phone number with them. Peace of mind. Insurance provides that same peace of mind we search for when we are working at venues. Just. In. Case. With insurance, you are covered. Peace of mind.
#3 It’s not as expensive or painful as you think it is
Can I get an AMEN? Yay for that because on top of all the things we have to care about with our businesses or just being HUMANS, insurance shouldn’t be complicated or expensive. We encourage everyone using the space to create with inspiration, ease + fun.
This is why we send our clients to thimble.com to purchase hourly or “short term” venue insurance. Yep! Short term insurance! You can purchase yearly insurance as well, but when you are booking the space for 1 hr or 8 hours, and you are not a business who already has yearly insurance, this is the website for you! Check out our tutorial on how to easily purchase short term insurance HERE.
What insurance do you recommend for photographers/videographers?
We recommend all photographers + videographers to get insured under the “Photographers + Videographers” section OR if your a freelancer, you can purchase insurance under that section. (see video tutorial below!)
I’m not a photographer, do I still need insurance?
YEP! We recommend purchasing “short term” or hourly insurance if you are workshop teachers, bridal/baby shower throwers, yoga class instructors, meetings or gatherings of any kind. (see video tutorial below!)
So, no more worrying. No more stressing. Getting insurance is a GOOD thing and will be such an easy thing to do now you know how to do it so you can get back to what you love doing!
