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.
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.
Hired David Byrd and his band for a 4th of July house party. Showed up early to set up and started on time.
Music was VERY good
Breaks were tight and my guests were dancing all night
High quality and will have the band back
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.
How wonderful, Jane! We love hearing stories like this. Thank you for your kind words!
As one of the talents listed on this site, I truly appreciate the site, the staff who go out of their way to assist and adjust to accommodate requests, surveying and being open to adjust to serve the needs of its listed contractors and it's site's transparency.
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.
It was awesome to see your parents.they are awesome people who have beautiful voices. I could see the love between them. Chris you are so awesome and Blessed with an awesome Family. Love to all from Edmonton Alberta Canada xoxo
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.
That's wonderful, Daniel! Thank you for sharing and we're so happy the event went well.
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!
