Built from inside the booth

Gig Nest wasn't designed in a boardroom. It was built by a working UK DJ who spent his weekends behind the decks at weddings around Greater Manchester — and his weeknights buried in the admin that came with them. Enquiries answered too slowly, quotes rebuilt from scratch, planning forms couples never finished, deposits chased by text at 11pm.

The pattern was obvious: the DJing was the job, but the admin was the business — and the admin didn't need a person. It needed a system that could read an enquiry the way a DJ would, check the diary, price from real packages and draft the reply; that could plan an event by chatting with the couple instead of interrogating them; that could brief the crew, chase the balance and ask for the review without being told.

That system became Gig Planner, and in 2025 it grew into Gig Nest — the home for all your event admin. Same product, same purpose, a name we can build on. Today it runs enquiries, quoting, contracts, payments, planning, music, rostering, reviews and analytics for DJ and event businesses across the UK — from £19 a month.

We're independent, UK-based, and we use the product on real gigs every weekend — which is the fastest feedback loop in software. If something's clunky at load-in, it gets fixed by Monday.
