I am a vendor of this site, and had an abusive situation come up with someone who hired me through it. I called GigSalad for advice and help, and within minutes, I received a personal phone call from Megan, who took the time to listen to my story. Later that day, she and the company went way out of their way to help me resolve it. I can't thank them enough, and I will remain a loyal customer after this exchange. A classy and caring operation, who solves problems fairly and efficiently, with a personal touch. Thank you!
If you're not using Gigsalad to get booked for events, I'd have to ask why? I've been working with them for over 10 years and can only say how glad I am that I do! There are many ways to try and get booked but in my opinion, nothing is as far-reaching. I've used many ways to advertise and this is the most effective way to get more leads. I'm also very happy with the fee structure. Very fair and worth the cost.
Thank you, John! We're so happy that you've been happy with our platform for so many years.
I have used Gig Salad for four years as a Santa. I use them exclusively. Their service is comprehensive, professional and overall excellent. I have over 50 bookings this season even though I am the highest priced Santa in our market. Every time I call them they answer on the second ring and have a answer immediately. Their fee collection and payment is excellent.
Hi Claude, we're happy the platform is working for you! We hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
I've been a member of GigSalad for several years and they have been very helpful in booking Gigs for me. I've connected with a wide variety of venues through this website and I feel fortunate to have them as my guide in the entertainment business.
We're so happy to hear that the platform is working for you. Thank you, Nate!
I've gotten many offers, especially when I was a paid member, but there was no way to indicate that I was never available on Friday night or Saturday, and that's 99% or what I got. I'm told that feature is/was coming soon (excluding days one is not available). Regardless, they deliver what they promise. I recommend them.
Hi Dana, thank you for the feedback! I'm sorry for any confusion about our features, but you can absolutely block out certain days/times when you don't want leads. You can read more about managing your calendar here: https://help.gigsalad.com/article/141-manage-your-calendar
We appreciate your membership and hope things continue working for you on our platform!
They have a great profile presentation for potential costumers and an easy to use promo kit. Through the years, I have gotten some pretty good clients. They have a friendly, helpful, professional staff. I would recommend GigSalad if you are looking to book gigs; especially if you want to play different types of gigs that you cannot find such as corporate gigs.
Thank you for the kind words, Terry! We love hearing this from our members and appreciate you being a part of our GigSalad community.
I have been using gigsalad for a few years now. It started slow but now I'm getting regular bookings. They do a good job of getting me on top of Google searches. I love that I don't have to pay a yearly fee and their commission structure is very fair.
Hi Scotty, it's so great to hear that you're getting regular bookings! Thank you for the thoughtful feedback.
This was my first time using GigSalad and would definitely use again. It was easy to get a hold of entertainment in the area and receive a prompt quote. We used Sylvia the balloon lady and she was great at our company family bbq. She was on time; easy to work with; fastest balloon maker I've seen around, and has amazing balloon talent. Highly recommend her.
Hi Jenn, we're happy to hear that your first experience with us was a good one. Thank you for sharing!
I love GigSalad so much! I've been a professional musician for over thirty years and GigSalad gave me the ability to represent myself and not have to deal with a middleman changing the story in what is asked for by the client or how well I did my job. I love the interaction with the client so I can give them exactly what they need or direct them to another musician better suited for their needs. It feels empowering and I am very appreciative of gigsalad and their optimistic platform and great customer service! Thank you gigsalad team! You make gigs a pleasure!
Hi Jonita, this is awesome to hear! We love knowing that we can help facilitate great bookings for our users. Thank you for being a member!
Been in the entertainment business for 40 years. Payment is due on the day, not one to two business days as you have suggested. Also thought we chose the free part to gig salad. Why is $ been taken from our quote. Please respond. Thank you.
Hi Terry, thanks for your question! As a Free member with us, you're not paying a membership fee to get leads and bookings with us. So yes, we do have a 5% booking fee on each booked gig. We feel this is a fair fee and hope you do, too! If you prefer to get paid the day of the gig, you can take advantage of our "Marked as Booked" feature and handle the payment yourself. Please call us at 417-889-9909 or email us at help@gigsalad.com if you'd like more information on how that works. Thank you!
I get a lot of my gigs from GigSalad! And their vendor and client support is excellent! I have never had an issue with anything, they are right on top of it, always awesome and amazing. Since I get my gigs based on great reviews, I am writing one for them, they have earned it over and over again!
Thank you for taking the time to share this, Scott! We appreciate the kind words!
I'm signed up for a free/basic GigSalad membership. Most of the leads I get are not useful to me or any of the various ensembles I book. Still, for the few gigs it's added to the schedule this has proven to be a very reliable and well thought out operation. Some hiccups early on, but the system has been improved.
After several years using GigSalad, I'm not going to become a paid member -- most of the leads I get don't fit into my tour schedule -- but I am very satisfied with the service I get for the commissions I pay on the occasional gigs that do work out.
Gigsalad has been a significant boost to how I get bookings - they're a great value for what you get. While the membership is probably worth the benefits, I've been doing great with the free subscription. I would definitely recommend it!
Hello,
I would highly recommend Gigsalad if you are looking for top notch DJs like me and other entertainers. Great customer service and quality platform.
Booking and payment process are easy and user friendly.
Thank you, DJ N.! We're glad to hear that you find GigSalad so useful.
This is my fourth year with Gigsalad and it pays to use them. You have to do the work to close the gigs. It's not like shooting fish in a bowl... but it gets you out there to people who are looking to hire talent.
I've used GigSalad booking service to advertise my music business for over 8 years. Their staff has been professional throughout the years: I appreciate their attention to detail; promptness; reliability; and their client service is unparalleled (I've tried other services but didn't last). Looking forward to more years to come. Thanks!
Hi Helen, we appreciate you being with us for so many years! Members like you are why we are successful and we don't take that lightly. Thank you for the kind words!
I have been promoting myself with businesses, business associates and handing out business cards at every chance, 95% of all my performances as Santa are found by people who reached out to GigSalad. Came highly recommended by other fellow Santas, now I know why. Full Throttle Thumbs Up
How wonderful! Thank you for sharing this, Santa Dennis!
I am a professional musician and have used a number of sites to find gigs. But once I started using GigSalad I dropped all the others. The site is easy to use and over the years I have secured all the work I have needed. Customers find the site easy to use as well. Recently, I became ill and needed to clear my schedule to allow for a medical procedure. Shawn and Megan stepped in and helped both me and my clients with this unplanned and difficult situation. Professional, friendly, efficient and reliable. The best!
Hi Mark, we always appreciate your professionalism and love having you as a member! Thank you for the kind words and all the best on your recovery.
I've been promoting my service as a pianist through GigSalad for about a year and a half, and I've been very pleased with the results! Their platform provides a nice level of security and confidence for both parties, and I don't think I could better reach potential clients without significantly more cost and effort.
It took a minute for gigs to roll in but good things always do. I highly recommend Gigsalad for vendors. Once I took the plunge of buying a package the big gigs started rolling in. I will continue to be a vendor because life is easier going through them. They send me really good customers. Thanks Gigsalad!
Hi Carolyn, we're so glad to hear that we're working for you! Thank you for being a part of our community!
