Clients are always looking to hire talented musicians for their special events to set the tone and ensure their guests have a blast. In fact, live bands are one of the top requested vendor type on The Bash and with our goal being to help turn these requests into bookings, we wanted to share some tips on how live bands can be most successful.

We all know that client reviews matter—the more positive reviews your business gets, the more trust and confidence potential clients will have in your services. The bottom line - positive reviews lead to more bookings! But, what happens when you receive a negative review? What's the best way to handle it?

Meet Party on the Rocks, an Event Staffing and Bartending company based out of Seattle, WA! Party on the Rocks joined The Bash (formerly GigMasters) just 6 months ago and they already have 18 bookings!

Spring is a popular time for clients to book vendors for all types of events - proms, graduations, weddings, birthday parties and more. In fact, The Bash (formerly GigMasters) had over 110,000 requests throughout the spring season last year. This makes it a great time for a little spring cleaning at The Bash! 

Are you getting booked but wish you could have even more success? Although there is no perfect recipe to getting more bookings, these tips can only help you improve your chances of getting seen and hired.

Attention members! Are you quick to respond to booking requests? Do you volunteer your services at charitable events? Would you ever work at one of our events? Any five or ten year veterans out there?
