David was a true professional and the best surprise a Birthday Girl could receive!!!

David was a true professional and a delightful surprise to show up playing the traditional Scottish Song followed by Happy Birthday to me and Old Lang Syne..he was adorable, professional and absolutely charming. I would hire him in a heart beat for future events and recommend him to my friends!!! A real gem!!!

Wonderful …

Wonderful site with a good cancellation policy. This website was easy to maneuver. This was my second time using this site. I did not have any luck getting a keyboard player the first time however, I receive several quotes within minutes for a saxophone player this time. When I selected my entertainer, I was concern about paying before getting the service. After reviewing your policy, I'm pleased GigSalad takes ownership by adapting a policy which protects potential clients. I will definitely complete another post once the my entertainer performs in October. Sherrie
