GigSalad is Awesome!
September 5, 2019

GigSalad brings me great leads and the service is easy to use. I've always received payments as promised. The clients have all turned out to be great. I don't remember how I found GigSalad but I'm so glad I did!

"The Musician's Friend"
November 21, 2019

Gigsalad is a wonderful connection for musicians and artist in general. In today's world of advanced technology, Gigsalad is an online billboard, providing a space where one's skills can be viewed in order to meet a potential customer's needs. Their fees are fair and they do what they say they are going to do. Thanks Gigsalad team, you are the best!

I am a solo guitarist and GigSalad has been an excellent platform for me to get gigs in town. I am a professional musician and I take my work very seriously. GigSalad allows me to post photos and video so clients will know exactly what to expect from my performance. I use the free service GigSalad offers and that works fine for me. I am fortunate that people have specifically requested me for their events. All in all, GigSalad gets me gigs I wouldn't normally get!

I have had the best experience working with gigsalad! I was able to secure many well paying gigs through their service and the payment always comes in on time and guaranteed. Their system handles all the contracts and deposits, so I can minimize the business hassles and just focus on the music. 5 stars!

GigSalad has helped Sweet Harmony grow significantly for the past four or five years. I appreciate the prompt and efficient customer service and the fact that they listen to our suggestions. They also promote a healthy balance between the needs of the customer (who books us on GigSalad) and the needs of the gig worker (us).

Easy to use and has generated a good amount of business for me. Before GS entertainers had to work with party planners who would give us 50% of the fee (when we were lucky!) they charged the client. GS fees are SO REASONABLE!

I've used GigSalad for years and have always had a great experience. The customer service team is helpful and I've been able to make a nice income on the gigs I've landed. As a musician, it's awesome that I've found a platform that helps me get leads I wouldn't have found otherwise. I'd recommend them to any serious artist looking to improve their business.

First Rate Orgainzation
September 29, 2019

I have been with Gigsalad for over 5 years. I have worked many, many gigs through them. I would not have stayed with them for so long if I didn't get results. I am a member of several other online booking agency's and land based Agency's. I sometime don't get as many leads through Gigsalad but I get better quality leads. More in my general area that are solid leads and solid bookings. One good solid lead is worth 10 from people just checking prices. The service portion of their organization is also up to speed. Call with a problem and they will be on it immediately. I am a professional and do nothing else but play music to make my money. If your wondering if its worth it. It is certainly worth it to me.

GigSalad provides another website presence for artist & performers to be booked. I've been a client them since 2015. I don't have a paid subscription. GigSalad allows me to be booked directly with clients them handling the payments and contracts for a small serrvice fee. I don't rely on them for my full time bookings. I'm booked several nights a week in clubs directly with the venues. You have to pay for outside bookings and reviews to appear on their site. GigSalad is one of the many tools to receive bookings hassle free.

The website makes suggestions at times during the process to communicate and to touch base with potential customers as well as with already booked customers. As a solitary kind of guy, this really helps me to be proactive on my approach.

I paid for a month of Gig Salad. It said that you could have multiple categories yet there are only a couple of categories available for photographers. During the month, I received absolutely no events to bid on. You can list on Gig Salad for free, but you are only allowed one category. Over the year or two I have been listed, I have only received about a half dozen events to bid on. Ironically, I did engage one event as a free member which I appreciate, but I won't pay $30 a month (plus any booking fees) for no events to bid on.

Gig Salad does not work for photographers.

Hi Gregg, thank you for your feedback. We're glad you were able to book a gig using the Free membership and we understand that the paid version doesn't always make fiscal sense for some. We're always striving to bring more leads for each of our categories and help photographers like yourself make a living doing what you love. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience and feel free to reach out directly if we can answer any questions.

Gig Salad is a great way to find new clients that often you never would have acquired any other way. There are fees involved but that is just part of doing business. Gig Salad has a great easy to use platform and I recommend them if you are looking to grow your business.
