Start with the venue—not a generic certificate request
Ask the property contact whether an insurance certificate is required for the event and request the requirement in writing. Parks, schools, churches, companies, HOAs, colleges, and managed venues can ask for different names, addresses, wording, coverage evidence, submission methods, and review deadlines.
Provide the exact event date, location, venue contact, and requesting legal entity. A nickname, campus name, or informal department name may not be enough for the document the venue expects.
- Exact legal entity name and mailing address
- Event name, date, and setup address
- Certificate holder wording and submission email or portal
- Any requested additional-insured wording or endorsement
- Required coverage evidence and venue review deadline
- Venue contact who can answer document questions
Use the booking timeline guide to work from the venue's real deadline. For a public site, use the park permission checklist. A company event plan can also help organize the venue and equipment details before requesting documents.
A certificate is evidence—not a promise to change coverage
A certificate summarizes policy information for the recipient. The exact policy and insurer-issued endorsements control coverage. A venue request does not itself change the policy, and a certificate should not be treated as a substitute for the venue reading and verifying the information it requires.
Georgia's Office of the Commissioner of Insurance advises verifying certificate information rather than assuming that possession of a certificate proves continuing coverage. The venue or its risk manager should decide what verification it requires.
Additional insured is a separate question
If the venue asks to be named as an additional insured, request the exact legal name, address, required wording, event or contract reference, and any endorsement form it specifies. Do not assume that listing a certificate holder and granting additional-insured status are the same request.
Wow Inflatables must confirm whether the requested document or endorsement can be issued for the exact event. No older landing-page promise should be used as approval.
Ask early enough for venue review and corrections
Collect the venue requirements when choosing the event site, not on setup day. The venue may reject incomplete wording, request a correction, or require review through a separate department or portal.
This guide intentionally gives no universal turnaround time. The timing depends on complete venue information, the exact request, insurer or agent processing, and the venue's own review.
How to request document review from Wow Inflatables
Call 678-379-9691 or send the complete written venue requirement to wowinflatables@gmail.com with the event date, booking or quote reference if available, full setup address, venue contact, legal entity details, and deadline.
Do not send card information or passwords. The contract and secure booking process remain the authoritative sources for the reservation terms; this public guide is a preparation checklist, not legal or insurance advice.
Which equipment should I pick before requesting a COI?
- Choose the inflatable family that matches the event (bounce, combo, water slide, obstacle) and guest ages, then confirm availability for the date.
- Browse catalog: /rentals · real setups: /gallery · bounce hub: /bounce-house-rentals
- Send Wow the exact unit name, event date, full venue legal name/address, and any additional-insured wording the venue requires.
- Do not assume an older certificate, a different unit, or a different venue entity will transfer.

Setup and safety notes venues often ask about
- Adult supervision is required whenever the unit is open for use; follow the selected unit’s occupancy and operating instructions.
- Anchoring, clear setup area, and approved power (or a planned generator) must match the unit and site—confirm at booking, not on setup day.
- Weather/safety shutoff: stop use for lightning, standing water, severe warnings, or unsafe wind/footing; see /blog/rain-policy-what-happens-bounce-house-rental-bad-weather and /blog/bounce-house-wind-restrictions-safety-guide.
- Venue permission, COI/insurance paperwork, and delivery access are confirmed with the venue and Wow before event day.

How much space does the rental need?
Space and clearance depend on the exact unit—not a one-size chart. Confirm its footprint, blower and anchor clearance, overhead clearance, and gate width before setup. Use the space planning guide, size guide, and surface guide. Ask a managed venue about stake type, the approved setup pad, and generator requirements. Book at https://www.wowinflatables.biz/book.
Plan the venue request
Check permit questions, booking and document timing, and the park setup checklist with the venue before reserving.
