Gigz Management

What Gigz Management does

Gigz Management, operating as Gigz Management Entertainment LLP, is a UK-based live music talent and booking agency founded in 2004 and headquartered in Hove, Brighton. The agency curates a roster of more than 50 vetted professional acts organized across four product categories — bands (19+), DJs (17+), solo/duo performers (10+), and classical ensembles (8+) — and provides booking, logistics coordination, and event management services for weddings, corporate events, luxury private parties, destination events, and festivals. Its customers include individual wedding clients, corporate event buyers, and prestigious UK and European venues; documented venue relationships include Kew Gardens, Claridge's, The Savoy, The Hurlingham Club, and Annabel's of Mayfair, alongside destination-wedding deliveries across the French/Italian/Swiss Alps and the Cote d'Azur.

The company's core technology is an online enquiry and event management portal where prospective clients browse acts, submit event details (date, venue, music preferences), and — once a booking is confirmed — access secure forms to curate and save music requests, with DJs and acts following up directly on playlist details. The agency operates as the intermediary for client communications, logistics coordination, and act management, and is remunerated via booking commissions on the talent it places. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through website enquiry forms, email, and phone, supplemented by SEO, venue referrals, and word-of-mouth; the company has no app, no public API, and no third-party marketplace listings.

The business model is a transaction-fee commission on each booking, with custom per-event pricing that varies by act, date, duration, and location. The company is independently owned, has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no M&A history. No AI/ML capabilities, patents, or certifications are disclosed in the available data.
