GiGzy Venues
Fill your venue with live music and entertainment, without the headaches
How GiGzy works for your venue
🔎Book artists directly
Search by location, style, artist type or production service. Watch videos, read descriptions and terms. When you find the right match, send a booking request directly from the artist profile and sort the details in a simple way.
📥Post a request with your requirements
If you don’t have time to search, post a request with date, time, event type, budget and musical style. Artists who match those criteria apply and you choose the best option for your bar, restaurant or hotel.
📊 Manage everything in your business dashboard
Track requests, confirmed bookings, fees, gig history and regular artists in one place. You always know who is playing, when they play and how much you will pay.

Variety of artists and formats for your venue
Live music for restaurants
Acoustic duos, jazz, bossa nova and sax for warm background sets. Ideal for dinners, brunches and restaurant experiences that need live music.

House, disco, funk and open-format DJs for bars, rooftops, pools and after-work sets. Built to drive sales, keep guests longer and keep the dancefloor moving.
Entertainment for hotels
Pianists and vocalists for lobby, restaurant or lounge. Duos and solo acts that give your hotel a live soundtrack for drinks, receptions and corporate events.
Performers & special acts
Magicians, dancers, themed acts and visual performers for key dates. Short, high-impact moments that grab attention and give your guests something to talk about.
Regular entertainment
Weekly or monthly entertainment calendars tailored to your venue: after-work sessions, weekend afternoons, family Sundays, sunset sets and brand or seasonal events.
Impact
Not only book artists but Live music as a revenue tool

For restaurants and bars
Fill “slow” nights with targeted programming
Build client habits (e.g. jazz Thursdays, DJ Fridays, family Sundays)
Work special dates (Valentine’s Day, wine dinners, menu launches)
For hotels & resorts
Improve the experience in lobby, bar and restaurant with live music
Create programming anchors for guests and external visitors
Have a single partner for all entertainment, without multiplying suppliers
Without wasting time on operations

Secure payments, transparent platform fee and a clear view of your work
GiGzy’s payment and invoicing flow is built to be reliable and transparent, so you can focus on performing, not chasing transfers.
How the financial side works
Bookings paid outside the platform are not covered by our cancellation policy, artist replacement or support in case of disputes.
Payments via Stripe
All payments go through our partner Stripe, a payment processor certified to the highest security standards. Your card and business details are handled with banking-level protection.
Funds in a segregated account
The amount paid by the client is held in a segregated account until the event is completed. Neither GiGzy nor the artist can move the money outside the platform rules.
Automatic invoicing & Tax compliance
Invoicing is handled through software certified by the Portuguese Tax Authority, with invoices issued and reported automatically. Less admin, more control.

FAQs GiGzy Business
Can I book artists directly without using GiGzy Match?
Yes. You can use the GiGzy platform to book artists directly, either by browsing profiles or posting requests. GiGzy Match is the consulting and monthly curation service for those who want a dedicated partner.
How are artists paid?
The client pays through the GiGzy platform. The amount is held in a segregated account and released to the artist only after the event, according to the rules set out in our Terms and Conditions. In case of a dispute, the payment can be held until it is resolved.
What are the advantages of centralising payments with GiGzy instead of paying the artist directly?
By paying through the platform, you get support with cancellations and disputes, organised invoices, booking records and history per venue. Payments made outside the platform are not covered by our policies.
Do you only work with live music?
No. In addition to musicians, DJs and bands, you can book performers, entertainers, special acts and production services (sound, lighting, video, etc.). The aim is to have everything you need for your entertainment programme in one place.
How does it work for groups with multiple venues?
We can configure your GiGzy account to manage several venues, with views per unit, region or group. Ideal for restaurant and hotel groups that want a consistent experience and control over their entertainment spend.
