Carolina Marin & the Latin Show Band were absolutely amazing and the perfect entertainment for my friend’s 50th birthday party! They arrived on time, were incredibly professional, and brought such great energy to the entire event.
The band was versatile, fun, and engaging, catering to everyone’s musical taste and keeping the party going all night. We were having such a great time that we asked them to stay an extra hour that alone says everything! The dance floor was full, the vibe was incredible, and our guests are still talking about it.
If you’re looking for live entertainment that truly elevates your event, I highly recommend Carolina Marin & the Latin Show Band. I would absolutely hire them again.
Thank you, Carolina, for making the night so memorable!

The website is extremely easy to use
The website is extremely easy to use. After listing my event , 10 potential vendors were listed. Within three hours I heard from 7 of them. The chosen vendor had a great site, with photos and videos of past performances. We chatted briefly on the phone and since we both understood each others' requirements the booking was made.

Free service is terrible
Free service is terrible. Seems to only attract flakes who never follow up to view or respond to quotes. Paid service is probably better because you get client contact info; however, it’s pretty expensive. Stay away from the free service. It’s a waste of time.

Thanks for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear it didn’t meet expectations, especially when it comes to follow-up from potential clients. We know how frustrating that can be.
Leads can vary, particularly with free access, and not every request turns into a conversation or booking. That said, there are tools within the platform designed to help improve response rates and visibility, and our team is always happy to take a closer look at your account to offer personalized tips.
We also understand that pricing is an important consideration. If you’re open to it, we’d love the chance to help you get more value from the platform and make sure it’s working as intended for you.

It's so easy to use
It's so easy to use. You just answer a few basic questions and then the quotes just start rolling in! I have used GigSalad several times now and each experience has been wonderful. This time I think it took less than 30 minutes from when I initially signed on until I had someone booked for my party next week! Perfection!

First time user - trying to find catering servers/bartender for my son's annual Christmas party - so he can actually enjoy the evening instead of working it. I was immediately informed that my request had been relayed to about 6 different individuals/companies and within less than 5 minutes they began to respond. Three were viable options for the job, but one fit the bill beautifully. Highly recommend!

Gigsalad made the task of looking for an entertainer so easy
It was so easy because gigsalad found me other entertainer to choose from. And all messaging goes through gigsalad so I'm not swamped with lots of textings or calls . And I found an entertainer that's available so fast.

I received quotes quickly and was able to book a harpist in the price range I was looking for. I liked being able to see each individual's profile with pictures and examples of their work.
