Are you looking to book a band in Brazil? A magician in Mongolia? A cartoonist in Croatia? Well, Gig Heaven<\/a> is here to help. As an international entertainment directory, we are building the most comprehensive list of event suppliers available today, worldwide<\/strong>. In this blog, we\u2019ll show you how it works\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Gig Heaven?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Simply put, Gig Heaven is an international entertainment directory. This means in practice that our website is designed to help you find entertainers, suppliers, and related services all over the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re looking around the site, you can browse listings, read reviews, listen to audio, watch videos and choose from a rapidly growing selection of the best musicians, bands, entertainers and related companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our mission is to make it as easy as possible for you to find trusted industry professionals for your event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much does it cost?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To you, nothing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone who has previously organised entertainment for events will know that it is standard practice for a supplier to ask for a deposit to secure the date of your booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This deposit protects both of you by guaranteeing your prospective supplier won\u2019t take another booking and that you won\u2019t cancel on them at the last minute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this instance, once your booking is agreed upon, you\u2019ll be asked to pay a 10% deposit to secure the date. This is retained as our service fee. There is no additional charge from Gig Heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

How does Gig Heaven work?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Browse the suppliers.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Gigheaven.com lists thousands of suppliers worldwide. From musicians to magicians and bartenders to break dancers, the entertainment or supplier you want is bound to be listed on Gig Heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such, there are three different approaches you can take:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

if you have a concrete idea of what you are looking for, you can use the advanced search feature to help you close in on the perfect supplier. This enables you to search by category, type, area available and provides additional ways of sorting or categorising your results.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, you can browse through the different drop-down menus available on the home page and take a look around the site for inspiration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for help planning your event, we also offer a concierge service to help ensure you get precisely the type of event you envisage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Contact your potential supplier.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve found a supplier you\u2019re interested in, it\u2019s now time to get in touch. They will provide you with a quote based on the circumstances of your event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They will consider things like the travel time to your event, the amount of time they need to be there and other costs they might incur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can negotiate with them directly and discuss any requirements you have. You can also ask questions about the service they provide to ensure that it meets your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Step 3: <\/strong>Agree to the booking.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once you are happy to proceed, your supplier will issue you a booking contract via Gig Heaven. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Step 4: <\/strong>Sign the contract and pay your deposit.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once you have signed your booking contract, you\u2019ll be asked to pay your 10% deposit to secure the date. Be advised; your booking is not complete until this deposit is paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Step 5: Your<\/strong> event happens!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The day has arrived! Sit back and enjoy your quality entertainment, supplier or related service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The payment terms for the remaining balance will have been worked out with your supplier in advance but will usually occur on or before the date of your event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\n

In just five easy steps, you can source the perfect supplier for your event, wherever you are in the world. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
