Many options - Found a good Match

Very quickly I received communications and offers from numerous appropriate groups - wow! It was hard to say "no" to most of them. Great service for both people looking for music for an event, and hopefully for people looking for gigs. From my perspective, it gave me the opportunity to find what I believe will be the perfect match of music and cost for this particular event.

Fast & easy experience!

It was fast and easy to get quotes, and I received a number of options. I was able to pick the one most relevant to my party due to the relevant information available, and there were no unnecessary phone calls or messages. The checkout process was fast and simple, as well.

It's unfortunate that my songstress broke her wrist. So we had to cancel one week before my event. I pray she well in the future however I needed a replacement asap. Together she and I spent time planning the perfect birthday for my husband. Paula immediately went into action making sure I received a full refund. Thanks Gigsalad. Booking my next act was easy and I received a quick response. I'm booked and ready Thanks MJ Footworkz for saving the day ( Literally) My husband's birthday is going to be EPIC.

Found the perfect fit!

Finding for the right fit for my engagement was so simple. One request from me and a dozen vendors were immediately invited to check out my event and send me quotes, without my having to do all the research aforehand. There were several (good!) options for what I was looking for. It made it hard to choose! And here I was worried I wouldn't find anyone! Silly me. Thank you GigSalad. This is my first booking with you, but it certainly won't be the last.

I had a great experience

I had a great experience. I received several quotes from musicians. It was very easy to see the quotes and listen to their music. I had easy access to speak with the musician we picked and booked.
