ARRIVE makes it easy to find and book performers — musicians, bands, DJs, speakers, dancers, and more — for any event. This guide explains how it works for clients.
How booking works
- Find performers. Browse and search by category, location, price, and availability — no account needed to look.
- Request a quote. Describe your event and get quotes from matching performers, or request a specific performer. See How to request a quote.
- Compare and message. Performers respond with quotes; message them on ARRIVE to confirm the details.
- Accept and pay. Choose the performer you want, accept their quote, and pay the agreed amount to confirm. See How to send a booking request.
- Enjoy your event. ARRIVE holds your payment securely and releases it to the performer after the event.
Why book on ARRIVE
- Your payment is protected — funds are held until after your event. See How ARRIVE keeps payments secure.
- Performers are reviewed before they go live. See Do ARRIVE performers get reviewed or vetted?
- Messages, the agreement, and payment all stay in one place.
Getting started
You can browse and request a quote without an account, but you need a free account to book, message, and manage your event. See Creating a client account.
