GigTag for ceremony musicians and string players
You play for the most important ten minutes of someone's day. Make the rest of it easy.
String quartets, violinists, harpists and cocktail-hour players are booked by couples and planners, and they are rarely asked for requests mid-ceremony. A GigTag works as your quiet shop front: a tidy page, an enquiry form and an invoice when it is booked.
- No requests during the vows
- Enquiries that arrive complete
- Invoices from the booking
The problem
Nobody should be scanning during the vows
For a ceremony the tag has a different job from a bar gig. Nobody should be sending a request while someone walks down the aisle, and the tag should sit quietly off to one side or stay in your case.
The work comes before and after. A guest who is getting married next year hears you at a cocktail hour and wants your details. A planner needs a clear answer, in writing, with a date and a price. The wedding bands and wedding DJs in the same room face the same thing from a different angle.
What GigTag does
One code, four jobs done for you
- Free
A page worth sending a planner
Your music, a short bio, your links and your upcoming dates in one tidy place. Send the link instead of a long email with attachments.
- Free
An enquiry form that arrives complete
A couple or planner sends the date, venue and details through your booking enquiry form, so you see them at once instead of chasing through messages.
- Pro
Invoices from the booking
When the date is agreed, you send an invoice, and the payment goes to your own Ziina or Stripe account. GigTag takes 0%.
- Pro
A list for the cocktail hour
At a drinks reception you can turn on a song list so guests suggest from the pieces you actually play. At the ceremony itself, you keep requests Closed.
A night with GigTag
A garden wedding, four till nine
The tag stays in your case for the ceremony. During the cocktail hour it sits on a small stand beside the harp, with a song list of the pieces you play and requests set to Open. A guest scans, picks a piece and mentions their own wedding next spring.
She sends the enquiry form from the buffet queue. The next morning you reply, agree the date and send an invoice from the same page.

Questions
GigTag for ceremony musicians and string players: your questions
Should guests request songs during a ceremony?
No, and you do not have to let them. Requests have a switch, and many ceremony musicians leave them Closed all day.
Can I use it just for bookings?
Yes. A page and the booking enquiry form are free. Invoices need Pro.
Does the whole quartet use one page?
On a Pro band act, each member joins with their own free account, so the page belongs to the quartet rather than to one person.
Does GigTag find me weddings?
No. It is not a directory or a marketplace and does not find clients. It makes it simple for people who already know you to ask and book.
