The moment was perfect,
except for the leaking propane tank.
Violent weather is only one of the things that can zap your entertainment
business right out of business.
Consider transportation delays and mix-ups. Fire and theft. Vandalism and
incompetence. It’s a scary world out there. That’s why the first step of any
event safety plan is having the right insurance.
So ask yourself: Am I covered? Is my coverage year round? Am I covered for
100% of the things I need covered? If you’re not 100% sure, talk to Take 1.
We offer the most comprehensive and cost-effective insurance for the live
and non-live entertainment industry. And we’re 100% sure we have just
the coverage you need.
