Something big has changed.

Gigster has been completely rebuilt from the ground up.

The new platform makes it easier to discover, book and manage event talent and services across South Africa — from keynote speakers and entertainers to production, content creation and event specialists.

Whether you’re planning a conference, gala dinner, product launch, festival or private celebration, Gigster brings everything together in one place.

This is just the beginning.

Gigster has relaunched - bigger, broader and built for the modern events industry.

We’re actively expanding our already credible supplier network across categories including entertainment, AV, production, videography, photography, décor, planning, hospitality, speakers, livestreaming and more.

Gigster gives event professionals:
• direct client enquiries
• nationwide exposure
• self-managed profiles
• modern quoting & booking tools
• contracts, invoicing & workflow support through Gigster Direct

Every supplier profile is manually reviewed for professionalism and event suitability before approval.

If you’re building a serious event business, we’d love to hear from you.

Exciting milestone for Gigster

The Planner Guru has featured the relaunch of Gigster following our major platform rebuild.

Gigster has evolved from a live entertainment booking site into a professionally curated marketplace for the broader South African event industry - now spanning production, AV, videography, décor, planning, speakers, hospitality, livestreaming and more.

We’ve also launched Gigster Direct — helping suppliers manage quotes, invoices, contracts and bookings from one streamlined platform.

A huge thank you to everyone supporting the journey so far.

The new Gigster platform is now opening to vendors.

Existing Gigster talent, speakers, entertainers, creatives and event professionals are beginning to activate profiles on a completely rebuilt system - designed to make bookings cleaner, faster and far more professional.

Alongside a stronger marketplace, the new platform introduces Gigster Direct: a powerful booking tool that allows vendors to create professional quotes, contracts and invoices for their own direct clients too.

A lot has gone into this rebuild, and it’s exciting to see the first profiles coming in.
