Excellent platform
June 1, 2024

I'm an entertainer with a singing telegram, custom poetry, also custom comedy business. This platform is simple to use and offers a lot of features to entrepreneurs who are just getting started like myself. I would highly recommend! :)

After many wonderful experiences working with Gigsalad, I wanted to take this opportunity to share how professional and artist-friendly their service is. Their technology is superb and works incredibly well both in terms of helping clients book artist services to how they support individual artists. As a jazz guitarist who is both an individual performer and jazz trio, I could not be more pleased by my association with Gigsalad and certainly plan to continue this rewarding relationship as their web presence and design provides excellent leads and bookings.

Randy Carson and Band
February 29, 2024

Pipe Creek General Store and Dancehall, LLC highly recommend Randy and his band. He is a singer and songwriter. He and his band are extremely professional, they arrive early to set up and rehearse. They engaged with the audience and dancers. During their breaks they went around to meet-several of the attendees. Definitely recommend to any venue looking for a great band.

80th birthday party!
August 14, 2023

It was a pleasure doing business with GigSalad. The performer (Marilyn Monroe) was extraordinary. She
Was on time and looked so much like the late Marilyn Monroe. Our guests were so impressed by her professionalism. I would highly recommend using GigSalad and Marilyn at your next party/business function.

Poor response
March 8, 2024

I am extremely disappointed with this service. I asked for a musician/instrumentalist and was given a magician, fire juggler, cirque de solei and a robot type acts. Why did they ask what I wanted if they were going to ignore it.

I reserved Tom Bourbon (A Jimmy Buffet) solo performer with GigSalad, I was very pleased with his services. He was prompt, kept in communication with me, he followed up and his performance was great. I would highly recommend using this service.

Be Very Careful
October 4, 2023

I have used Gig Salad twice. The first time was a pleasure. The second time I had to cancel a few days after I booked the singer due to one of the guests being in the hospital for COVID. I in no way inconvenienced the performer, but they kept the whole $405 deposit. Be careful when booking if they ask for all of the money upfront. If you need to cancel, you WILL lose all of it.

Hi Paulette, thank you for sharing your experience. Many vendors set a non-refundable deposit because they rely on the booking as their source of income and cannot risk losing money in the case of a cancellation. They've likely turned down other events to take a booking and wouldn't have time to book something new to recoup those funds. We certainly advise that our users closely read the cancellation policy set by each vendor before booking and negotiate what's best for all involved. GigSalad does not set the policy and can only enforce what is agreed upon between the client and the vendor. We hope your guest has gotten better and that you're able to host another fun party in the future!

As advertised
October 26, 2019

GigSalad is working just as I'd hoped, I'm getting lots of leads and have booked several gigs. I'm very pleased with how it works, very simple especially for a free member. I plan to upgrade to paid membership soon.

"I love Gigsalad"
September 24, 2019

I've been with Gigsalad now for about 10 years with much success. Gigsalad has allowed me to get paid more for private parties than I do at the regular venues. I started out using them to fill in dates. I figured even if I only get a couple gigs from Gigsalad that would cover the cost of membership or sometimes just one really good paying gig. I should mention their customer support is second to none! My secret to success has been my variety of genres that fit anywhere there is a wide range of age groups. I do everything from Weddings to Funerals and anything in between. Thank you for all you do for us. I wish you continued success!

GigSalad has always been a marketing tool to get your business name out there. For a sole proprietor, the marketing aspects help reach well outside the local area and even state. I've welcomed the additional benefit that GigSalad offers my small business and appreciate it's effectiveness. Would recommend administration fees be adjusted. Fees should be reduced to less than. 017 per dollar received, not the. 08% per financial transaction currently administered.

Easy to use for a Newby
December 13, 2022

As a professional Santa, this is the first year I have used any kind of booking service besides myself. GigSalad was highly recommended by many of my "Brothers in Red" It made it easier to reach beyond my local area without spending a lot of money on untested advertising.The online calendar made it much easier to stay organized and allows blocking out unavailable times as well as letting one add in self done bookings. GigSalad provides leads but doesn't commit to a booking. That is up to me entirely. I stay in control.

As a solo musician, it can be challenging to obtain gigs on a regular basis. Over the years, I've used several similar sites and GigSalad has always provided the most quality and quantity referrals. For my money, it's the best!

I set our band up on gigsalad based on a friend/fellow musician's recommendation. I admit, I was skeptical at first. But I started receiving quote requests inside of a week! I encourage any and all bands looking for bookings to sign up (unless you're in NW Arkansas - please leave that one alone for me!)

GigSalad.com is great online resource for people and organizations looking for and wanting to book entertainment for their special events. I've been a registered vendor with G. S. (based in Toronto, Canada) for the past five years, during which time G. S. has provided me with lots of new leads and some new clients as well. All good G. S. -- thank you!

I have been an entertainer in the private events industry for over 12 years. My experience with the platform and its technicians has been nothing short of stellar! They really care about the artists that use their website for booking private events. I only wish I would have signed up with GigSalad sooner than just a few years ago. I greatly appreciate this group of people and will continue to highly recommend GigSalad to my peers and friends!

Yes, worked out details of the second part of the above with a GigSalad agent. And yes, just got my first booking since this all started. Maybe things will be getting better for all of us soon. Thanks!
