secure bookingSecure booking system
We use the very same technology the top banks use to secure online transactions — SSL, or Secure Socket Layer. It protects your personal information, just like the top shopping sites you already trust.

We'll provide a detailed checklist for you and your performer — to make sure EVERY detail is discussed in advance. Your big day will go more smoothly if there are NO surprises.

smiling clientOur clients rate our performers
As part of our talent screening process, we subject all performers to a 5-star rating system — rated by GigMasters clients themselves. This accountability ensures that you get the very best talent, every time. After your event, you can rate your performer based on quality of talent; timely and thorough communications; accommodating to special requests; and professionalism on and off the stage.
magicianEntertainer audits
GigMasters performers are a direct reflection of GigMasters the company. If we learn that any performer has behaved in a less-than-professional manner, we reserve the right to suspend them from GigMasters. It's your event…and it's our reputation.
justice scaleDispute resolution
In the rare instance of a dispute between client and performer, we help both parties resolve the issue. We'll facilitate communications, try to clarify misunderstandings, and help you gather all pertinent information. GigMasters does not, however, get involved in legal disputes between performers and clients.

“This is a great service! I was put in charge of an entertainment committee and needed to book a cover band. I didn't know where to begin. After months of dead ends, I found GigMasters.com! I got instant results! I found the type of band that I needed in the price range of our budget. I hired The Climb from Portland, Oregon and they only had to travel 2 hours. Thank you so much for your services! It will definitely be used and recommended on my part.”
