How booking works

From first search to the first song, in three steps.

  1. 01

    Search and compare

    Browse profiles with photos, videos, starting prices and reviews where acts have them.

  2. 02

    Send an enquiry

    Tell the supplier your date, venue and plans. They reply with availability and a quote.

  3. 03

    Agree and book

    You and the supplier agree the price and terms. Deposits and payment plans are set by each supplier.

Book with confidence

Clear, direct and transparent.

Veya is a UK marketplace that connects you directly with suppliers. There's no agency markup on top of their price.

Your booking is an agreement between you and the supplier, and they're responsible for delivering it. We verify acts as a point of trust and offer optional tools like payment terms to help.

  • Vetted badges

    Some acts are vetted by our team and carry a badge. Others are new, unverified listings, and we always mark them clearly.

  • Reviews from real bookings

    Reviews can only be left by clients after a booking. Suppliers can't review themselves.

  • Message before you commit

    Ask questions and agree details in Veya's messages before paying anything.

  • Contracts and invoices

    Suppliers can send agreements and invoices, so everyone knows what's been agreed.

Questions

Good to know before you book

Who is my booking with?

Your booking is with the supplier, not Veya. Veya is the marketplace that connects you, and the supplier is responsible for delivering what you agree. You can use Veya's optional tools, like messaging, contracts, invoices and payment terms, to keep everything clear.

Does it cost anything to send an enquiry?

No. Searching, messaging and sending enquiries is free for clients. You only pay what you agree with the supplier.

Are all the acts vetted?

Not all of them. We verify acts as a point of trust: those with the Vetted performer badge have uploaded photo ID and passed our approval checks. Newer listings are marked as unverified so you can decide for yourself.

How do deposits and payments work?

Each supplier sets their own deposit and payment terms. You can pay securely by card, and some acts offer payment plans.

Can I talk to the act before booking?

Yes. Message them on Veya to check your date, venue and any special requests before you pay anything.
