Like choosing to have your wedding outdoors, choosing an off-peak wedding date, or making your own wedding decorations.

What Do Resolutions And Marriage Have In Common?

“I want to lose weight.” It’s similar to saying, “I want to get married.” Both are statements. But without planning and proper preparations, they remain as just that, statements.

So to help you get motivated in staying on track with your goals this year, we want to show you a different perspective when looking at achieving your goals. Treat your goals similar to how you treat a marriage. Sounds strange? Allow us to explain. Both Are Commitments Resolutions start the same way that a wedding starts –  it’s a simple decision to make a committed change in your life. But we all know that changes don’t happen overnight.

What is Special Event Insurance?

Event insurance is designed to help protect an insured’s investment in certain occasions. This ranges from weddings, birthday parties, trade shows, concerts, and other special events. Specifically, special event insurance is a type of liability coverage that applies to claims made by third parties for bodily injury or property damage that occurs during an event. This type of coverage must be purchased before an event takes place and is relatively inexpensive. Compared to the financial burden you can put on your shoulders without insurance if things don’t go as planned, paying the small cost of coverage is a no-brainer.  What Could Go Wrong? In short, anything and everything could go wrong when it comes to running an event so being protected is important. We live in a world full of unplanned and unforeseen events and the last thing you want to be is unprepared. An accident can occur at almost [...]
