VENDOR APPLICATION

Any vendor not on the published list on this site must apply.

‍If you're a vendor and are not on the approved list, assume that you will need to complete this application. Please do not tell the client that you are already approved, even if you've been to the venues before. If you are uncertain about your status, contact us.

All rental companies and bartenders must come from the Approved List; we do not accept applications for new vendors in these categories.

An annual liability policy of at least $1 million and issued in your company's name is required (one-day policies are not accepted). We require a COI (certificate of insurance). Proof of insurance (POI) is not accepted. A COI is a summary of a vendor's liability policy, usually on a single page, with us (Dragon Park LLC, 4710 Charlotte Ave., Nashville, TN 37209) named as additional insured on their policy.

Below is what a COI provided by your insurance agent should look like. Please share this with your agent to expedite matters. To be approved, your COI must conform to this template exactly.
‍
Common oversights by many agents include forgetting to put a "Y" in the Additional Insured column, making the policy for a single day rather than the full year, assigning the COI applicable to only one of our venues, or leaving off liquor liability. Caterers providing bartending services must provide liquor liability on the COI of at least $1 million.‍

If you do not have a policy, you may buy one here.

Please complete the application only once. Wait to apply until after you receive the COI from your agent. An application will not be accepted without receiving the COI at the time of submission.

Vetting a vendor and orienting them on our facility and policies takes some time.  We charge a fee of $500 for each new vendor application. This is a per visit fee, not a one-time fee. The fee is non-refunadable.

You'll be approved if (1) your application is submitted completely and accurately the first time, (2) we determine that you're a professional vendor with all that that entails, and (3) we've had a good experience if our paths have crossed in the past.

No it is not. A vendor may only come to the one event for which they were approved; they are not added to the Approved Vendor list through this application. The approval does not guarantee the vendor a place on the approved vendor list as the list is merit, not fee, based. After the event, we may ask the vendor if they would like to appear on our approved list.
