Made it easy to find entertainers for my event, Booking process was simple and straightforward. Quick response time and friendly user experience
Thank you for your review! We’re glad it was easy to find entertainers and that you enjoyed the simple booking process and quick responses.
The right vibe ~ Quick turnaround on providing great list of musicians. Early conversation w/ Louis was an early indicator that we made the right choice in working w/ GigSalad!
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you received great options quickly and found the right fit for your event.
I would not recommend this company. I was provided a quote for one price, but when the performer arrived, I was told I needed to pay additional cash that was never disclosed upfront. This felt extremely misleading and like a bait-and-switch tactic. To make matters worse, when I attempted to cancel shortly after signing because the terms being presented were not what I originally agreed to, I was told I could not cancel. Being quoted one amount and then being asked for more money upon arrival is unacceptable and not how reputable businesses operate. The entire experience felt deceptive, unprofessional, and focused on squeezing more money out of customers rather than honoring the agreement that was originally presented. I would strongly encourage anyone considering this company to get every fee, charge, and requirement in writing before signing anything. Very disappointing experience.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience. Pricing and payment terms should be clearly communicated, and we understand your frustration.
Our events sometimes are 2 day or more and you only allow for 1 day booking and it is confusing to vendors that I want to hire. I have to explain everytime that there are 2 days.
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you sharing this with us and understand how multi-day events can create confusion during the booking process. Feedback like yours helps us identify opportunities to improve the experience for both event planners and vendors.
Its very easy to book the band you want with the style you want. This was an effortless process.
Thank you for your review! We’re glad the process was effortless and helped you find the right band for your event.
My Dad is a fan of Marilyn Monroe so we were able to have Anna come to the restaurant and sing Happy Birthday for his 87th. She was perfect- easy to work with, on-time, and brought joy to everyone celebrating. Really fun- I highly recommend.
Thank you for your review! We’re so glad the performance helped make your dad’s 87th birthday celebration special and memorable.
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you found GigSalad easy to use.
The process was very smooth, quick and informative. I received a list of potential candidates and once I received their quotes I reviewed and selected secured my booking within 24 hrs. Great service

Thank you for your review! We’re glad you had a great communication experience.
This is a really nice service. It's fast and easy, and super nice that it is a transparent and reasonable extra fee to GigSalad, so I know that the DJ is getting all of the money in his quote. Super nice that a down payment isn't required too, and that full payment goes to the DJ upon completion of services. Well thought out service. Wish I knew about it earlier, would have saved me some stress!
Thank you for your review! We’re glad the process was easy and transparent, and that it helped make planning your event less stressful.
Easy to use and the site connected me with many established musicians. I found the perfect fit for my event within a short period of time.
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you connected with great musicians and found the perfect fit for your event.
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you had a positive experience with communication.
Wes blew us away beyond grandest expectations— feel incredibly fortunate to discover Wes last minute for our daughter’s bday party. An immense talent and party captain to create memories for any group. Additionally, amazing to communicate with.
Thank you for your review! We’re so glad the performance exceeded expectations and helped create such special memories for your daughter’s birthday celebration.
I will not reveal my identity. But I advertise as a performer on gig salad and the one thing that hurts.My business is the option when you are looking for a performer and you put in a budget. To me, this basically has other performers in nature competing for the best price, not based on the quality of their service. Obviously a Klein is good to try to get the cheapest price possible. I mean, who would want to spend more? But by offering an option to put a budget, it really boycotts. 95% of the inquiries, whereas if there was no budget option, I can still advertise my services. And they would consider it based on the details.I provide them for the rate and would justify the two performers or such based on the quality, not just the price.
Thank you for sharing your perspective. We appreciate your feedback and understand your concerns about how budget preferences can impact performer visibility. Feedback from professionals is important to us, and we’re always looking for ways to improve the experience for both event planners and performers.
Lots of offers appeared within such a short period of time, I was overwhelmed by all the responses and groups giving their quotes. Luckily, I was able to book now for the event 12 days from today.
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you received plenty of options and were able to find the right fit for your event.
Never knew you existed until an acquaintance who entertains mentioned you. Was easy to navigate your site and list our event. Received a number of responses from performers we never would have found otherwise! Looking forward to working with individual we selected.
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you discovered GigSalad and found great performer options you may not have found otherwise. We hope your event is a great success!
Such prompt and professional options available, can’t wait to us this platform again!
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you found great options and had a positive experience. We look forward to helping with your next event!
Alice was a wonderful complement to our gathering this past Sunday evening. Our parties tend to run loud and end up in the kitchen because our friends need to catch up on all the time spent apart. Alice's music and soft voice drew people back to the main room. Her original pieces were a definite hit with my friends. Alice was the accent that gave our party the class we were looking for. My friends and I will be looking to engage Alice again in the future. A sweet girl with a bright future... Blessings!
Thank you for your review! We’re so glad the performance was a wonderful addition to your gathering and helped make the evening memorable.
Had a grad party for my son and hired Ethan Langer, a Sax player, from GigSalad. Right from the start Ethan was contacting me and stayed in touch up until the day of the party. He was very professional and He played beautifully. He engaged with my guests. I definitely will be hiring him again. He was awesome.
Thank you for your review! We’re so glad you had a great experience and that the performance helped make your son’s graduation party special.
Good & Plenty We have used Gig Salad for a few events now, seeking both standard (singers, for example) talent and more specific (Jugglers, Accordion Players, etc.) entertainers and have had great success with both quality and volume across the board! Easy.
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you’ve had great success finding both standard and unique entertainers and that the process has been easy.
