Benefits of Wedding DJ Liability Insurance with Insurance Canopy
Having DJ liability insurance for wedding venues comes with numerous perks:
- Professional Credibility: Having insurance shows you’re serious about your business and gives you an edge over wedding DJs who aren’t insured.
- Proof of Insurance: Log into your dashboard and print your wedding DJ Certificate of Insurance (COI) at any time for proof of legitimate coverage.
Additional Insureds: Most venues will ask you to add them as an additional insured in case something goes wrong during your gig. - Protection from Costly Claims: If someone trips over your DJ equipment and injures themselves, or your equipment scuffs the venue’s floor, liability insurance can protect you from paying out of pocket for legal, property damage, medical fees, and more.
- Tailored Coverage: With Insurance Canopy, you can choose to increase the limits of your policy or more fully protect your business with Equipment and Gear coverage, Cyber Liability, and more.

Wedding DJ Insurance
Picking the right insurance for your small business is critical. Avoid gaps in your coverage that could risk the future of your wedding DJ business.
Questions About Insurance for Wedding DJs
What insurance do I need as a wedding DJ?
Wedding DJs need these types of insurance coverages:
- General Liability: Protects you from third-party bodily injury, property damage, and other claims.
- Equipment and Gear Coverage (aka Inland Marine): Safeguards you from paying out of pocket for stolen or broken DJ gear.
- Personal and Advertising Injury: Defends against libel, slander, and defamation claims or that your services didn’t match up to what you advertised.
- Damage to Premises Rented to You: Protects you from having to pay out of pocket for property damage claims for space you rent to practice or play.
Should wedding DJs have insurance?
Yes! Wedding DJs need insurance for every gig — even if you only perform at a few gigs a year. Risks, such as trip-and-fall accidents or property damages during your performances, are just a few reasons why wedding DJ insurance can come in handy.
How do I add additional insureds to my policy?
You can add additional insureds to your policy in these simple steps:
- Log in to your dashboard.
- Go to your current policy.
- Go to “Additional Insureds” and add unlimited additional insureds for $10 or 1 for $5.
If you’re a new customer, you can also add additional insureds during the online application process.
Is liability insurance for a wedding DJ expensive?
Not at all! Wedding DJ liability insurance is affordable at $18.50 a month for year-round coverage or $59 per event. Compare these prices to the cost of a single claim, which can run you tens of thousands of dollars without coverage.
