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!
I highly recommend Gigsalad.
Through the years I have sent various individuals my Gigsalad link.
This is an amazing platform for artist looking to book gigs or individuals looking for artists and musicians to book.
Thanks Gigsalad
We're so glad it's working well for you, Al! Thank you!
Gig Salad is the place for quality gigs. With an efficient setup and good customer service we have had good experiences interacting with the company and booked nice gigs. Overall we are happy with the platform.
Hi Doyle, we're so glad to hear this! Thank you for your kind words. Happy gigging!
Highly professional, I get a lot of work from them. I have used Gig Salad for many years and even have a featured profile. I find them to be incredibly easy to communicate with and even refund money when it was taken in error. Or if the gig canceled.
It actually was time for me to renew my membership and I like to pay a year in advance. I looked at the amount of money I needed to spend, $479 and then I looked at the leads that had materialized for me and totaled up over $4000. It is definitely worth the investment!
Wow, that's awesome, Charles! We're so glad to hear that the platform is helping you make a living doing what you love.
Thanks a lot, Ryan I appreciate it. You have been extremely helpful. Five-star customer support!
OTHERWISE...
In my experience to date, GigSalad does not reach any viable market for my band and the kind of music we offer.
We play original blues-rock, jazz, and Christian rock.
Not one of the inquiries I have received was looking for what we do.
They were always looking for something else, that we don't do.
At this point, the inquiries have become nothing but time-consuming background noise.
Apparently, GigSalad is not a good fit for GLEN FLOWERS and the STRANGERS.
I am a professional country singer and have performed in the southeast MO area for over 7 years. GigSalad has been a positive experience for me overall, I have worked with them -primarily using the Featured Membership- for over 3 years now, and have been pleased. I get a lot of leads, and I have booked thousands of dollars worth of work through the site.
We are happy to hear this! Thanks for the kind words, Isaac!
I've only just started (within the last week) my membership with GigSalad. To check them out, I went with the Free Membership option although I'm already considering one of their Paid Memberships for the near future. Setting up my Profile was easy and painless. One thing I really like is the ability to request, and have posted, reviews from previous Event Coordinators (even those not booked through GigSalad). Though I have not yet received a booking through GigSalad I'm looking forward to a long, lasting and successful partnership with them.
I use GigSalad for my professiona speaking work as well as for the band I play in. The service GigSalad provides, both up-front through the website as well as behind the scenes in customer service is second to none. It's always such a thrill to receive a gig lead, and the GigSalad team are there to help make my profile as attractive as possible. As a Canadian business, I also appreciate that I am allowed to bid and get paid in Canadian dollars. My clients are too.
Hi Steve, thank you for sharing your story! We love helping people like you make a living doing what you love.
The website is easy to sign up for and very intuitive from a user standpoint. The clients I have encountered are always on the up and up and you don't have to worry about scams since Gigsalad changed to getting the payments upon contract agreement. Support and issues are also addressed and very timely manner and the representatives always seem understanding and knowledgable
Hi Rich, thank you for your feedback! We're happy to hear that our platform is working well for you! Our Customer Happiness Team is always here to help if needed.
Meggin, took me through the entire process of what makes a successful Gig Salad entertainer on the phone.
I have been the Singing Santa Claus of Los Angeles for the last ten years.
Using some basic on phone methods that Meggin taught me, I booked my first Santa appearance through Gig Salad, on my very first day. That is pretty amazing.
I look forward to a very successful Santa season because of Gig Salad.
Tidewater Santa was our guest at the Parkside at Bennetts Creek HOA Breakfast with Santa. He was fun, attentive and worked well with the children. We could not have asked for a better booking or experience.
What a fun event! So glad it went well and merry Christmas!
I have utilized the services of GigSalad for 3 years now and am totally pleased and satisfied with how my business has grown with their help. I only utilize the service for about a month and a half a year (holidays), and my business referrals have grown dramatically. I couldn't be more pleased with what they provide. A fantastic service provider!
Awesome, Paul! This is great to hear. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience!
Entering the luscious gated home for the evening was delightful. All of the money was handled through Gigsalad prior to the event, which made the event seem more professional and less "babysitter pay". Smooth, natural, and aesthetic for the following presentation. With the ambience of a grand piano, wine, and horderves, the night was pleasant and successful.
We're so glad the event went well, Gregory! Happy gigging!
I've been using GigSalad since 2016 to book gigs for my acoustic duet (weddings, private parties, corporate events, etc.) I renew every year because it's soooo worth the cost ($300 cost vs about $5000/year in bookings)
While I don't book solely through GigSalad, they have become our best performing leads and bookings platform in terms of volume of gigs and in return on investment (ROI)
Furthermore, I have made contacts through GigSalad that have resulted in thousands of dollars of bookings after the first gig.
Their customer service is excellent and their booking service beats every competitor in our market (Dallas-Fort Worth.)
I enjoy listening and dancing to Touch of Gray Band. They do a great job of entertaining. They are just like a professional band. I moved to Arizona 12 yeas ago. When ever I hear where they are playing I make sure I attend there performance and tell my friends where they will be and how great they are.
I've used GigSalad for several years and have always been impressed with the simplicity and efficiency of their system: People seeking my services as Santa come to their site, see my listing, read my reviews -- and I end up with a slew of pre-paid, guaranteed bookings year after year.
Their program for setting up your Promo-Kit is easy to follow, their Pay-Out System is quick and painless and, no matter what level of Membership you choose to use, their fee for services rendered is totally reasonable.
I recommend GigSalad for anyone looking to make a living (or earn a few extra bucks on the side) as a performer or artist...
Yours for a Very Merry!

Hi John, thank you for your thoughtful review! Knowing that our system is easy to use and is bringing you lots of work is music to our ears. We hope you had a wonderful holiday season and have a great 2020!
Just had an awful customer service experience with GigSalad... we had to cancel an event due to Coronavirus since we live in NY suburb. The performer couldn't have been more proactive and understanding. However the GigSalad team decided to keep my booking fee and not provide a refund. In my opinion this is terrible customer service and maybe even illegal. Dollars aren't big but on principle this is something I will fight.
Hi Joseph, we apologize that you were unhappy with your experience with us. The pandemic made it difficult for lots of businesses and we had to make some tough decisions when it came to handling the multitude of cancellations. We're sorry to have disappointed you and wish you and your family all the best.
If you want to break the reputation of your business - Use It! If you want to humiliate your business - use it! Only for Cheap Customers who want to get Pro service for the HALF Price (usually for quarter of your regular rate!) + a Lot of Fake requests! (some times it looks that Gig Salad team does it!) I Did Mistake! I Did Big Mistake!
Hi Alex, we're sorry that you were unhappy with our services. Rest assured, our team does not send fake leads - and if a lead is suspected to be fake, you're more than welcome to flag it so we can look into its legitimacy. Most of the clients using GigSalad are planning private events so their budgets may be lower than someone booking corporate events (but we do get those leads, too). Our vendors are welcome to decline any leads that they don't feel are a good fit. We'd be happy to explain things further if you'd like! Please call us at 866-788-GIGS or email us at help@gigsalad.com.
Our duo, Little Black Dress (www.LBDduo.com), has been using GigSalad for several years. I have to say with the latest interface changes and steady stream of meaningful gig opportunities, they have become our go to for getting gigs over the other guys, hands down. Even with the trials of COVID, GigSalad has continued to offer gigs when the other service has gone silent. I am really happy with the way things are running at GigSalad and look forward to future opportunities through them. I am a paying vendor like everyone else, I am leaving a review because I am happy with the service.
Hi Rick, that's awesome to hear! We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Thank you for being a member with us!
A fellow professional Santa suggested that I check out GigSalad as a way to promote my professional Santa Claus business. I thought I'd take a look and I'm glad I signed up! I have gotten many more leads than I thought possible and it has now become my primary source for getting my Santa gigs.
That’s amazing! Thanks for sharing, Santa Thomas!
