How it works

From “who should we get?” to a confirmed date.

Three steps, no guesswork. Real calendars, itemised prices and a deposit that actually locks the date.

Discover
Start with the feeling, not a genre.
- Filter by occasion, city, budget, guest count and atmosphere — or describe the night in your own words.
- Hear real audio, watch performance clips, read the set list and the tech rider before you message anyone.
- Shortlist up to three artists and compare them side by side: packages, set lengths, travel, response times.
Check the date & details
Know it's possible before you fall in love.
- Calendars come from real bookings and the artist's own blackouts. If a date shows open, it's genuinely open right now.
- Pick a package and length. The quote itemises artist fee, extra time, travel, production, platform fee and GST — before you commit.
- Tell us the venue, guest count and whether it's indoors or outdoors. Artists see exactly what they're agreeing to.
Book & prepare
Lock the date. Then plan the set together.
- Pay a 30% deposit to confirm. Payments run through Razorpay — UPI, cards and netbanking.
- Plan in one thread with the artist: first-dance song, do-not-play list, sound check time, who to call at the venue.
- The balance is due 7 days before the event. Your receipt shows every line item, GST included.

Two ways to book

Instant book or request to book.

Every artist chooses how they take bookings. Their profile and the checkout always tell you which one you're using.

Instant book

The artist has pre-approved dates that fit their rules. When you check out, the date is held for you for 30 minutes while you pay the deposit. Pay in time and it's confirmed immediately — no back-and-forth.

If the hold lapses, the date is released to everyone else. Nothing is charged.

Request to book

You send the details; the artist reviews your event and accepts or declines. Your request holds the date for up to 48 hours while they decide. Each profile shows the artist's typical response time.

Nothing is charged until they accept. Once accepted, you have 72 hours to pay the deposit. If they decline, we show similar artists free on your date.

Deposits & balance

Pay to lock it. Settle before the night.

Deposit: 30%of the total, paid at booking. It confirms the date and compensates the artist for holding it.
Balance: 7 daysbefore the event. We remind you by email; pay with the same methods as the deposit.
Receipts: Itemisedfor every payment — artist fee, travel, production, platform fee and GST on separate lines.

No hidden fees — everything you'll pay is on the quote.
Verified badges mean we've checked ID and bank details.
Keep messages on TAAL so we can help if plans change.
Payments are confirmed only when Razorpay verifies them.
