100% customer service from the team at Event Insurance. They went above and beyond and made us feel completely reassured and on hand to help with questions and queries during the lead up and on site of our coffee festival. Couldn't rate them highly enough. Thanks so much, Louisa & Sofia from The Coffee House Project x

Refused to provide cover for a wedding despite us not requiring cancellation cover, illness cover, or in fact anything that could remotely be affected by COVID. All we needed was Public Liability Cover, but they wouldn't even provide that. Took our business elsewhere to a business that was happy to provide cover, and then some. Turned down easy business, what a pity!

Critical: Quality Brought a wedding policy that covered cancellation although they now refuse to pay out as they realise coronavirus is giving rise to claims. They rely on a very loose ans questionable exclusion in their terms to mitigate their liability.
