This is a really helpful service. It gave me several quotes right away with links to view my different options. I appreciated the access to reviews and professional histories of the people I was looking to hire. Highly recommend using when planning an event.

Multiple quotes is so efficient

Getting several quotes at once simplified the process. I got quick responses from 4 area performers and even got info on which performers were not available for my date.

User Friendly Website

The booking process was simple and the entertainer was quick to respond with an affordable quote. The photos, videos but more importantly the reviews were essential in choosing a mariachi band. A real user friendly website.

Very easy to use

Very easy to use, appreciate the dashboard and messages. Only issue was it didn't put in the personal message where I requested specific songs. That would be good if it did that next time so it was factored into quotes. Thanks!

Great experience

Great experience! I was a little concerned once I realized that I needed to pay it all up front but the contract is clear and the service provider that I booked has been fantastic!
So far so good. Hopefully I remember to come back in Feb. of 2027 to confirm that we had a great event.

Hugely Convenient

After submitting my request, the site sent out requests to multiple bands/musicians. That eliminated a huge amount of leg work for me. When proposals came in, there was just one site to check and I received alerts in my email and text messages about proposals coming in. Extremely helpful. I love how quickly the musicians responded to my request. When I started messaging one particular directly, his responses were very fast and informative. Booking was easy, and I loved the explanation of how/when the money was distributed. Overall, a great process. Hugely convenient and helpful.
