Gigsalad is getting more and more efficient. From time to time we get leads. Then we reply with a quote. What's awesome about this platform is that GigSalad sends you an email notification on the spot when the client "view" your quote. This is key in following with the client on time.
When one gets many leads from time to time on several platforms on can miss on the follow-ups. And THE FOLLOW UPS (rightly done so) are KEY in closing/selling deals.
Thanks GigSalad. You're awesome.
May the magic be with you!

As a musician, I gain many clients through GigSalad. It is a well-run company, and seems to be respected by clients and vendors as well. I've renewed my membership year after year, and will continue to do so. Highly recommended!
Using this site allowed me to get three bids instantly. Contacting the groups was easy and they responded very quickly and were eager to comply with my requests. Overall, easy to use and got the job done!
That's great news, Mira! We hope your event is unforgettable!
GigSalad is by far the best resource that I have found for my jazzreggae band Byrds of a Feather. Their price structure is very fair and their web site is very effective at getting clients. I have also used their better known competitor, and GigSalad has far better clients. I don't claim to know the reason, but there is really no comparison to the quality of the gigs I get from Gigsalad compared to their competition, who also charges more and delivers far less. Also, they a pleasure to work with, and I get the feeling they really care about the musicians they serve. 3 cheers for GigSalad!
Just want to say that I've been a Gigsalad member now for a few years and they are an upstanding organization. I'm a solo guitarist who has increased my exposure and bookings using GigSalad and looking forward to being with them for years to come.
Hi Mike, this is why we do what we do! We're so happy you're finding success with our platform. Thank you for the awesome feedback!
Someone on their sight (Mariachi Mexicanismo) didn't show up to my wedding which I payed for, and gig salad basically said it was my fault. Terrible customer service and poor very "slick willy" type people.
Hi Cody, we're very sorry to hear about your wedding. Unfortunately, this booking was not completed on GigSalad and you paid the vendor directly, so we were unable to intervene. Our Worry-Free Guarantee protects against situations like these, but only if the booking is kept on our secure platform. We hope you're able to reach a resolution with the band and we wish you all the best.
I really appreciate the customer service and the fact that they always answer the phone when I need them. I've gotten some great gigs from Gig Salad high-quality wonderful generous review that I just got reinforces my faith in working through Gig Salad.
That's so wonderful to hear, Elizabeth! Thank you for using our platform.
I first like to say that I appreciate what Gigsalid does in being like a hub to aid in getting gigs for various talent and services. I have been with them for awhile and are pleased They make confirming gigs and enduring you get paid for your service. It takes the stress and extra steps out of you having to so that you can focus on delivering your services to your clients. So thank you Gid Salad
We love hearing this, Nikida! Thank you for taking the time to share and we're so glad you're a member with us.
We are a working, traveling band and we love having an online booking agent! The Gigsalad team members are nice and easy to work with. Gigsalad is the online replacement for the booking agents of the past who only booked certain select people and you had to know somebody. Gigsalad has something for everybody and tries to meet you where your needs are. The only reason we don't shout out more praises is we kind of want to keep them to ourselves!
Don't purchase the upgrade packages. They promise you will be at the top of searches and you will get more leads but you're not at the top and your leads are the same as a free account. They do not give refunds (even if you ask within 24 hours of purchasing) and there is no free trial. It's just a waste of money and I feel scammed. The free version is fine.
Hi Shiane, thank you for sharing your feedback. We wanted to clarify that if you are a Pro or Featured member, you are indeed above Free members in the search results for your primary category. We also do not guarantee more leads, but in general, our paid members get 22x more leads than unpaid members. After taking a look at your profile, I see that you've received 203 leads and closed 7 bookings as of your joining date in May 2023. That's awesome! We hope that the platform is bringing value to your business and that you see continued success. Thank you, Shiane.
I listed my company on GigSalad years ago. Every year I am impressed with the ways they make it easier on the business owner. Using their save options on quotes and replies saves so much time! Letting GigSalad do the leg work and collections makes for MANY fewer headaches! LOVE THEM! I tell all of my business associates to list on GigSalad!
Thank you, Heather! We're proud of the improvements and hope to keep releasing helpful features for our members and clients. We appreciate your membership!
I was booked for a private party by GigSalad. I called them with various questions and they were very helpful and friendly every time. Payment was quick and easy as well. I highly recommend them!
Thanks for the awesome feedback, Andy! We're so glad you're loving the platform and the service.
I have really enjoyed using Gigsalad to book my gigs. I have gotten many more leads with it than I otherwise would have. It's simple to use, customizable, and the communication via text and email is super helpful. Highly recommend!
Awesome to hear, B.L.! We're glad that the platform is working so well for you.
The jobs I have booked through GigSalad have all been great. I like GigSalad because you can set your own rate, and negotiate before sending a quote. You're really working for yourself. What people need to remember is GigSalad is a PLATFORM, they are not the event police, and there is a certain amount of risk involved always when you have to rely on people. My suggestion for anyone using GigSalad, whether you are hiring or being hired is, make sure to have a phone conversation/interview with the other party and verbally agree to all the details. If you book someone months in advance, make sure you are following up leading up to the event. If you are totally professional on both sides, events can turn out great. Just remember that you are dealing with PEOPLE, and the rest isn't GigSalad's fault.
Great advice, Marron, and thank you for sharing your wisdom. We’re glad to hear our platform is working for you!
I have booked more gigs this year over last year, and higher paying gigs. Thanks GigSalad!? Posting my information was easy, and helpful hints given by GigSalad and other Santa, s has made my business increase Triple from what I made last year and I'm am still getting requests. I Love GigSalad.
GigSalad was very efficient. Easy to use. I liked the way it could suggest other bands that were similar to the couple of bands as to which we expressed interest. We hired one of the suggested bands. Easy to compare styles of music and prices.
Hi Jeff, thank you for your kind words! We're happy to hear that the platform worked well for you. Have a great event!
Our experience with GigSalad rates 5 stars.
Our band, The Anchors Southern Gospel Band, has been listed on GigSalad for several years. Our band has received several 5 star reviews for Gigs received while listed on GigSalad. GigSalad's support was excellent.
Thanks again GigSalad. Keep up the good work.
GigSalad is SO easy to use. For the performer and the client. They send you reminders of the upcoming gig and encourage communication which is a good practice anyway. They use a very fair fee structure and even collect for you. Have used GigSalad for years and plan to stay.
We're so happy to hear this, John! Thank you for using our service.
I have booked a bunch of gigs through the GigSalad website. I like the website interface, it's easy to navigate and it looks great. I have booked a number of gigs that I would not have without them. These guys are interested in helping musicians out.
We love hearing stories like this, Lance! Thank you for being a part of our community.
Customer Service is always available, and helpful. Website is easy to use for clients, and myself. I have a 5 star rating, which means the people I employ are very good at what they do, and the clients are 5 star clients!
Hi Cathleen, we love helping members like you make a living doing what you love! Thanks for the kind words.
