I give GigSalad 5 starts for being so well organized and easy to use. I love that they send a text message the moment a prospect is making an inquiry. I will stay with GigSalad as long as I am in business.
I am a professional musician and have used a number of sites to find gigs. But once I started using GigSalad I dropped all the others. The site is easy to use and over the years I have secured all the work I have needed. Customers find the site easy to use as well. Recently, I became ill and needed to clear my schedule to allow for a medical procedure. Shawn and Megan stepped in and helped both me and my clients with this unplanned and difficult situation. Professional, friendly, efficient and reliable. The best!
Hi Mark, we always appreciate your professionalism and love having you as a member! Thank you for the kind words and all the best on your recovery.
As a working musician, the hardest part of my job is connecting with the right clients for the various performances I offer. Gigsalad brings them to me so I can concentrate on making music instead of cold-call sales.
We're so glad our service is working for you, Trip! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
I love GigSalad so much! I've been a professional musician for over thirty years and GigSalad gave me the ability to represent myself and not have to deal with a middleman changing the story in what is asked for by the client or how well I did my job. I love the interaction with the client so I can give them exactly what they need or direct them to another musician better suited for their needs. It feels empowering and I am very appreciative of gigsalad and their optimistic platform and great customer service! Thank you gigsalad team! You make gigs a pleasure!
Hi Jonita, this is awesome to hear! We love knowing that we can help facilitate great bookings for our users. Thank you for being a member!
GigSalad works for me! I am a balloon artist, face painter in Miami, Florida. GigSalad consistently brings clients to me, amazing clients. GigSalad fees are well worth the service and their customer support is very warm and very human! Love it!
Thank you, Irina! We're so glad you get to make a living doing what you love!
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).
Great feedback, Tara! Thank you for being a member with us. We truly appreciate it!
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.
GigSalad a very professional organization.
They will give your business great exposure.
A pleasure to do business with them
Thank you, Vincent! We appreciate your membership and hope we can continue helping you land future bookings.
I just joined a week ago to try and boost my online Santa bookings this year. With-in two days I had my first two bookings with many more coming in. Gig Salad Rocks!
That's amazing! We're so happy that GigSalad has helped with your Santa bookings! Merry Christmas!
I've enjoyed doing a lot of these smaller events for local clients in the metro Atlanta area. We have had great success and every booking through Gig Salad has been flawless. I like the fact that my clients can leave reviews and my five star rating helps me get even more bookings. For an event MC for all occasions, look me up on Gig Salad: Kozmo!
We're happy to hear that our platform is working well for you, Norman! Thank you for sharing your experience.
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!
This is awesome, Mason! Thank you for sharing. We're so glad we can help you make a living doing what you love!
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!

Thank you for sharing, Francois! We're so glad to hear that the platform's features are helping you close more bookings. We appreciate your membership!
Excellent user friendly, always in contact, beats all the rest on line agencies.
Love to be able to use extensively for November and December as well as year round contacts.
Thank you, Santa Phillip! We love Santas and being able to be a helpful seasonal resource. Happy holidays!
It had been about a few years since I used gig salad. I needed to update my profile n was able to find the relevant information to do so.
Hi Leean, we're glad the site was still easy to use after your hiatus! Please let us know if we can help you get reacquainted with things.
I got the notification, placed my bid, confirmation in record time. My very first Gig wit GigSalad and it went without a hitch.
That's amazing, Jerry! Thank you for sharing your experience and congratulations on the first (and fast) gig!
For the price I pay yearly, I make my money back in less than 1 booking so anything on top of that is gravy.
Platform is easy to use and great even if you want to take the booking outside.
Never had an issue using GS and will continue to stick around
Hi Alex, we're so glad that GigSalad has been a great investment for you! Thank you for your kind words.
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!

Answer: Hi Mark, We have only been reviewed a few times on this site, and most seem to be by disgruntled users. Those 20 reviews are no way the reflective voice of our over 2 million users. You can see a much more well-rounded view of our company by visiting Trustpilot.com. We'd encourage you to read our responses to the low reviews, too, so that you get the whole story. To answer your question about fees, we take 2.5% from bookings for our paid members, and 5% from bookings for our free members. If you have any further questions, feel free to email us at [email protected] or call 417-889-9909. Thank you!

Answer: Hi Lynette, thanks so much for reaching out. We completely understand wanting to feel confident before paying in full, especially for something as important as a memorial service. While GigSalad doesn't offer a deposit option, we provide peace of mind in a few key ways. When you book through our platform, your payment is held securely and isn't released to the vendor until after the event. That means your money is protected until services are completed. If you have any questions about the wait staff you're considering or need help choosing the right fit, we're here for you every step of the way. Our goal is to make the booking process as smooth and worry-free as possible. Let us know how we can help!
Answer: Hi Hidetoshi, thank you for the question! Unfortunately, you cannot transfer reviews from other platforms. However, you can request reviews from past clients - even those who didn't book you on GigSalad. Just click on the Reviews tab in your Dashboard, then Request Reviews. They won't be verified, but it's a good start for your profile until you get some bookings. Please reach out to [email protected] with any other questions in the future.
Answer: Hi Stacey, I'm sorry that this site (and your question) wasn't on our radar until now, but if you're planning anything this year, we'd love to help. Please call us at 417-889-9909 or email us at [email protected]. Thank you!
