Private Party•Reviewed on June 12, 2008•From Austin, TX
Pino was such a charming, sweet person from the first phone call I had with him months before my event. He was so accomodating, polite and really set the ambiance for our rehearsal dinner. His voice and ability to play the guitar blew me away. My husband loves Frank Sinatra and his renditions were so beautiful. All of our guests loved singing along with "That's Amore!" He truely gave our special night that much more for us to look back on. We will never forget Pino and dancing to his beautiful music! I highly recommend him for anyone in the area wanting a professional, charasmatic and talented performer for their special event! Thank you and Ciao Pino!!

Thank you for a wedding event we will never forget. Everyone loved Pino's music. Very gifted artist. He was very attentive not only to the wedding party but to all of our guests. His gift of playing music that everyone recognized and liked was amazing. Before the ceremony, anytime we needed to discuss the wedding planning he was always extremely prompt in replying to our phone calls and emails. Very professional. A man of class, even under the utmost of pressure, stress and "meltdowns" of the bride and last minute changes. Pino was very punctual. Pino will definitively be on my "speed dial" for my next event that a musician is needed.

Pino De Fazio was great for my husband's 50th Birthday Party. He is very professional and showed up early to set up. We had lots of friends and famiy and the music was a delite. He played to allow people to talk but everyone could still hear the music. The music was upbeat with the spanish flair that we wanted. We were very happy with the experience. Alysia

Pino was great! We had an out of town wedding and he drove all the way to perform for us. He was always respectful and professional on the phone with an open ear to our wishes. He arrived early to get aquainted with us and to get comfortable with the venue. His talent with the guitar far exceeded our expectations. I would strongly recommend Pino to anyone that enjoys his vast grasp of music! My wife was extremely pleased, so it doesn't get much better than that.

After listening to him play in a local restaurant, I hired Pino DeFazio through GigMasters to play both at our daughter’s April 21, 2012 Austin Country Club outdoor wedding and cocktail reception immediately following. He was great; the sounds from his acoustic guitar were wonderful. Pino brought/set up all his own equipment, looked quite handsome in his tuxedo, and played beautiful wedding music as well as appropriate background music for the cocktail reception. We received many compliments on him. I would highly recommend Pino DeFazio!

Wedding•Reviewed on March 15, 2008•From Chappell Hill, TX
Pino did an amazing job. He arrived early to check out the surroundings since it was an outdoor wedding followed by a semi-indoor cocktail hour which required moving the equipment. He handled the set up and the moving with the utmost professionalism. His music was very very beautiful and all my guests just adored him. He is very personable. The wedding music was classic w/ a modern twist suitable for guitar and the cocktail hour music was really fun and uplifting. It was just what we had dreamed of. We would definitely hire him again and will recommend him to others.
Thanks Pino for doing such a great job for us...... Micha & Gauthier

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on December 2, 2010•From Austin, TX
Pino De Fazio is a wonderful performer. He is very professional in his presentation and very approachable when requested to do special songs, or just to talk to. We felt that he added a very comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere to our dinner. He actually felt like one (very talented) member of the family. We would certainly recommend him for any event. An absolutly superb artist.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 1, 2007•From Fredericksburg, TX
Pino was a huge hit at our wedding! His music was so beautiful during our ceremony I was moved to tears. Pino has a magnificant and charming personality, a winner with the guests. He went above and beyond our expectations for our wedding, even making a 2-hour trip to our wedding location. He wanted to make sure he had a feel for the site, figure out set-up and test his equipment to get just the right acoustics. We were so impressed! He even learned a new version of Canon in D for our wedding because he said it would make the bride happy. The guests raved about his performance and he would be a hit at any event. Hope to hire you again Pino!!! Best Wishes!

Pino was absolutely wonderful and was nothing less than perfect. The music was beautiful and ideal for the event. He was so kind and easy to work with...One of the things I loved most about Pino was his ability to accommodate us as such a short notice. He was very flexible and really took the stress away from having to plan anything. The event would not have been a success without him. He was very prepared and provided the direction we needed for the event. I received so many compliments on his lovely music. He completely set a warm and inviting tone. I would highly recommend him for any event.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 4, 2009•From Dallas, TX
Pino de Fazio is a very talented musician, but also a very polished gentleman. He arrived early and set up and played almost non-stop for my husband's birthday party. Our guests were very complimentary about his music and we all enjoyed his performance. He has a lot of charisma and I would highly recommend him to everyone. I am very happy that Pino was able to travel to Dallas to play for my party because I think music always makes a party memorable.

Pino is great. Everyone at the party was very pleased with his performance and asked me "where did you find this guy?'. Five stars all around. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to listen to a great artist who blends into the atmosphere of your party. His song selections were appropriate, during dinner he turned his volume down so we could converse, and he seemed to enjoy himself as much as we enjoyed having him.

Bachelor Party•Reviewed on June 23, 2008•From Chicago, IL
Pino was first introduced to me by my uncle who lives in Austin. He flew in to Chicago to celebrate my wife's 50th birthd with a group of our closest friends. He was impeccable!! He delivered one of the most memorable parties that I had the pleasure to be part of. His music, personality, and charisma were so unique and, at the same time, contagious that he truly made the evening a once-in-a-lifetime event. My wife was extremely impressed with his vocals and musical talents. All my guests were amazed at his genuine way of accomodating every person and fulfilling their requests. A month has passed by and he is still the talk of the event. Grazie Pino!

Country Club Event•Reviewed on November 30, 2007•From Austin, TX
We hosted a rehearsal dinner for my son's wedding. We live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and the wedding was in Austin, Texas so it was a challenge to find quality venders. We found Pino and talk about quality! Pino exceeded our expectations on every level! He was at the Country Club early to set up. When we arrived the music began and he played on without taking breaks. He was awesome! He has a beautiful voice and sang a wide variety of music. Over 60 people attended and we had positive feedback from every guest. The older people loved him and my 14 year old son said he was cool. The Bride and Goom said having Pino was the icing on the cake.Their evening was perfeect.

Pino created a beautiful atmosphere for our wedding reception! All of our guests were so impressed with his music and we were thrilled that he was willing to add several songs (Beatles, Sinatra, Dean Martin)to his repetoire; he even hooked up our iPod so we could do the Chicken Dance! We could not have asked for a more special night. Thanks Pino!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 15, 2008•From San Antonio, TX
I would describe Pino De Fazio as a wonderful blessing to have come our way!!! His music,singing, and overall presence was perfect and of great quality! He was very flexible to help accomidate all our needs as we had a " family talent show" planned in the mist of his more elegant atmosphere. We all engaged comfortably and he was the added component that made everything perfect, elegant, special, fun, easy feeling and most of all memorable. He also was there at the party an hour prior. He is a well rounded entertainer and will be highly recomended from anyone of my family members from Texas all the way to Hawai'i! We for sure have found a friend in Pino De Fazio!
