We’re reinventing how events are protected

At Vento, we’re not just another insurance provider—we’re a tech-driven insurance business with a real passion for events. Founded by event organisers, for event organisers, we understand the unique challenges and pressures that come with planning an event, and we believe insurance should be the least of your worries. That’s why we’ve built an insurance solution that’s easy to understand, simple to buy, and fast to claim. Gone are the days of confusing policies and outdated processes. Welcome to the future of event insurance…

“I thought it was mad that over half of event organisers had all the worries and sleepless nights I had, but without any form of protection...”
Freddie Sparrow, Vento co-founder

Event Insurance by Event People

Historically, the insurance process has been slow, laborious, and often costly. Add confusing policies and a lengthy, unreliable claims process, and it’s no wonder the industry has struggled to earn trust. But we’re here to change that.

With our team of event, insurance, and tech professionals, we’re making insurance transparent, efficient, and tailored to your needs. Our innovative platform allows you to get a quote in minutes, with straightforward policies that are easy to understand and fast to buy. But behind the tech, we’re still a team of experts ready to support you whenever you need it.

Vento was born out of necessity and passion. Freddie, our co-founder, spent years running his own festivals and events, experiencing the stress and sleepless nights that many event organisers so often endure. After transitioning into the insurance industry, he saw an opportunity to create something better—a solution that would make life easier for event organisers like him.

"Our approach is all about making insurance accessible and understandable, without the jargon and headaches that often come with it."
