Entertainer Booking App in Ghana
DJs, MCs, live bands, saxophonists, dancers, comedians and sound hire companies all have the same scheduling worry: being booked twice for the same Saturday. Requests arrive through Instagram, phone calls and friends of friends, and a verbal yes for a wedding reception in Aburi can clash with a birthday party in Kumasi. AyaBookings gives entertainers a page where a client picks what they need, such as DJ set, MC for a wedding, live band performance, dance act or PA system hire, and pick an available date and time. You can require a Mobile Money deposit to confirm the booking, which is standard practice for many performers. Clients get SMS reminders. Each member of a crew or band can have their own schedule. Bookings are managed from your phone. You pay nothing to use it; cash on the day is fee-free and 5% is taken from MoMo paid online. Many performers also offer more than one thing: a DJ who also provides lights, an MC who also does voice-overs, a band that can play a short acoustic set or a full evening. Listing each as its own service with a clear length helps clients understand what they are booking. Sound hire companies can list a small PA package and a larger setup, each with time for loading and set-up included, so the crew arrives on time and isn't booked across town an hour later.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I stop double bookings on busy Saturdays?
- Yes. Once a time is booked, it disappears from your page, so a second client can't grab the same Saturday afternoon. You no longer rely on remembering who you said yes to on the phone.
- Can I require a deposit?
- Yes. Ask for a MoMo deposit on any service, such as a DJ set or PA system hire. The client pays when booking, which confirms the date for both sides.
- What are the fees for performers?
- Using AyaBookings is free. Cash paid to you on the day brings no fee. Where a client pays a deposit or the full fee by Mobile Money online, AyaBookings keeps 5% of it.
- Can I manage a crew or band?
- Yes. Add each member, DJ, MC or sound engineer as staff with their availability, so a booking only goes through when the people needed are free.
- Can clients book through WhatsApp?
- Yes. Most clients start with a WhatsApp message, and they can complete the booking there.
- Is there an app for performers?
- Yes. AyaBookings for Business on Android and iPhone keeps your upcoming dates, client contacts and deposits on your phone.
Hold every date with a deposit and never promise one Saturday twice.
