Public Liability Insurance for a wedding DJ

Leigh_Birtles

Hello, looking for some advice on this:

I'm getting married in a pub/barn next year and my fiance and I have asked a friend who DJs at other weddings to do our music. The venue asks that anyone we hire in has public liability insurance. We have wedding insurance but this doesn't cover anyone but ourselves.
Does anyone know if you can get one off public liability for this sort of thing?

Any advice would be appreciated, cheers

Stupid question but you haven't specifically said... Does your friend have public liability insurance for his DJ business? Normally it would be the tradesperson/company that has the insurance and you just need to show a copy to your venue. If they've DJ'ed other weddings then they're likely to have been asked for it before...
