Streamlined the process of finding a vendor seamlessly. I was able to research reviews, receive direct quotes to my texts, also chat back and forth. Payment process was very user friendly and now I think I may advertise my service on this platform.

Quick and easy!

Really appreciate that multiple vendors were contacted with the details of my event. I got so many responses and all were really friendly and professional. Communication was easy and prompt and we were able to book quickly and easily. I also appreciate the refund policy just in case there is an unexpected cancellation on the vendors part. Will use gigsalad again.

Colleen Poe piper

Colleen Poe was perfect for our gathering. She came with great suggestions and played a piece that was perfect for our family celebration of life. She was very flexible because we had to change the setting due to rain. I would highly recommend her.

Good Experience

This web site is quite easy to use. You just enter all of your event information and the quotes start coming in. Once I made a decision, it was also very easy to book. A good experience all around.

fast quotes, easy process.

Received quotes from musicians very quickly and was able to communicate with them directly. The process was easy and efficient, and I found a wonderful violinist for our service. Very pleased with the experience.

Had a wonderful Church Comedy Night Fund Raiser at Sampson’s Mills Presbyterian Church with two wonderful Comedians. Jus Janell was the Feature (Opener) and she kept the audience in stitches recounting her experiences during the Pandemic! David Kaye was the Headliner and he brought down the house! His unique outlook on all things we encounter every day, from an hysterical personal perspective, was so funny the audience couldn’t catch their breath, they were laughing so hard!
