What is Gig Salad?
Gig Salad is a company whose sole purpose is to seamlessly connect event planners with talented performers, speakers, and party vendors. Event planners (ranging from first-timers to professional gurus) come to Gig Salad to search for, connect with, and book entertainment or services for any type of event imaginable - private parties, concerts, weddings, corporate events, music festivals, studio sessions, fundraisers, launch parties, and more.
Simply put… we make it easy for event planners to book outta this world events, and we help our members land lotsa really awesome gigs! Here’s how.
Who, when, and where?
It all began back in 2005 when Gig Salad was founded by good friends Mark Steiner and Steve Tetrault, who set out to revolutionize the talent booking industry by creating an online tool that was fair and robust for performers and that was ultra-easy for event planners and talent buyers.
Since that time, Gig Salad has grown up and branched out. Our trusty staff in the Springfield, MO, headquarters handles each and every customer call with great attention and care, and our resident computer nerds hold down the fort in Wilmington, NC, where they make all the technical magic happen.
What’s in the works?
It’s our hope that every user who comes into contact with Gig Salad will experience something great. Because our ultimate goal of “greatness” is quite a lofty one, we have not stopped creating and innovating in order to make Gig Salad the most useful and exceptional tool anywhere for vendors and performers, and for the event planners who book them.
We always have big irons in the fire, so please connect with us on Twitter, Google+, and Facebook to get the latest and greatest news about new features and capabilities.
