What is Gig Salad?
Gig Salad connects event planners with event service providers, including exceptional performers, vendors and speakers from across North America. For a nominal fee, you can sign up on Gig Salad, get gig leads without hidden costs, finder’s fees, commissions, gig lead fees or booking fees.

We're working hard to innovate and invent so we can provide our members with more (and better) gigs, and to help party planners and event coordinators find exactly what they are looking for to assemble the perfect event.
