How do you plan on advertising this? If I'm looking for a DJ, etc, I wouldn't consider or think of looking for a site like this. I'd just use Google or ask friends for a reference. The network effect is tough to overcome; you've got to have sufficient entertainers and sufficient people who know to look for entertainers. Is this really an area where there is sufficient pain?
I don't mean to be a killjoy; I've run a software business for over 10 years and learned a few things along the way and the key thing I've learned is that I have to be solving a very real problem and I just don't see that here.
Good luck to you, though.

My goal is to address all those people who need to use craigslist to find vendors, or do a google search as you mentioned. The feedback I've received from all these people is that it really isn't feasible to find good vendors in this manner. Craigslist doesn't offer reviews - it's really a shot in the dark, and performing google searches is a long and tedious process. The desire was to have one site from which to find vendors, see/leave reviews, and interact with the vendors through the site, in realtime. All that being said, advertising/marketing is certainly not easy and is an area which may require a bit more cash flow in order to get widespread attention. Not a killjoy at all - I appreciate the feedback
