Review by Nesreen I.
Corporate Function•Reviewed on July 18, 2025•From Aliso Viejo, CA
He is amazing
Arrived early to setup
He even kept singing beyond the agreed time when he saw people where having fun
Felt like we were in Hawaii with his singing
Already booked him again for my next event!
:
Nesreen, I'm amazed by how fast your team worked before and after the event. By the time I was all packed up, I was the only one there. I certainly appreciate your hospitality with the food and drink. That burger from the truck was Delish! I'll see you again on the next one. A Hui Hou!

Community Event•Reviewed on April 13, 2025•From Simi Valley, CA
Bruddah Vince was well received by our senior residents! Many residents were seen tapping and swaying to the music as well as singing along to the songs. Many said it reminded them of past vacations in Hawaii and made them feel as though they were back there. It was a very peaceful and entertaining evening. I would highly recommend Vince to other, especially as he was very professional and communicated well. Thank you Vince!

Jasmine, Thank you very much for the opportunity of performing for you and your
residents! I really enjoyed my time there as they were a wonderful crowd. Everyone was kind and complimented different aspects of the music as if they were momentarily on a Hawaiian vacation. When you'd like me to return, don't hesitate to make contact again. Aloha!

Wedding•Reviewed on March 4, 2025•From Oceanside, CA
Bruddah Vince is absolutely AMAZING!! If you are on the fence about booking him, do yourself a favor and book! He is super responsive for any questions or requests you may have, and also helps to ensure that all paperwork and insurance needed for the venue is completed for him to perform. We booked him for our wedding to play during guest arrival, our processional and during cocktail hour. All of our guests were talking about how great he was, and he truly helps to set the vibe that you are in paradise. He truly helped to make our wedding day a dream come true. I could not recommend him enough.
:
Tia, Thank you for your kind words. Your wedding had unique elements and stunning picturesque backdrops that I'll never forget which also helped me to select songs in complimenting the beauty of the surrounding environment. I appreciate your communication which helped to iron everything out up until your special day. Mahalo Nui Loa!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on January 27, 2025•From La Habra, CA
We had Bruddah Vince play a Birthday/Christmas party around the holidays. I can say with confidence that I would recommend Vince to anyone looking to elevate your event. Bruddah Vince is not only a talented musician but he's so easy and accommodating. Upon arrival he was very pleasant to speak to and once I showed him where to set up he was more than happy to take it from there. He loaded in his gear and was set up in a very timely manner. During our party Vince played all of our favorite songs and even took request as the night went on. Bruddah Vince is a true professional!
:
Karol, your event was unique! I enjoyed the ideas of an Island / Christmas song-list, Personal Tiki mugs, and ornament exchanges. Thank you for painting a picture of what you wanted as it gave me an idea on how to set the tone, create a festive mood and enhance the general ambience for your audience. Let's have another event down the road, Karol. A Hui Hou!

Celebration•Reviewed on January 7, 2025•From Fallbrook, CA
We had a amazing experience with Island Stylin' with Bruddah Vince. He arrived early to set up and was well prepared to start performing. He sang beautifully and had the perfect island songs to suit our celebration. He was pleasant and polite and comfortable to be around. He perform in front of family and friends aging from 1 year old to seniors and everyone had such a great time mixing with one another with such a great background of island music to enhance the event. Without hesitation, we would have Bruddah Vince back again! Excellent entertainment. Definitely deserving of 5 stars all around!

Thank you so very much for the opportunity to be a part of Malia's Celebration. I enjoyed playing for your family and friends. It was a treat to hear people singing along to the songs they recognized. I could tell they were momentarily taken back to the Islands.Big Mahalo for the details you provided that helped me to prepare in anticipation of your arrival and also the timely communication which always keeps things running smoothly. Kudos to you, Marcia! I'd love to return again for another event in the future. Mahalo Nui Loa!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 24, 2024•From Moorpark, CA
Bruddah Vince was amazing, he was so professional, friendly, kind and fun! He made our 60th birthday party
celebration with an Island Vibe theme so authentic.
We would highly recommend him to anyone that wants some live music with a Hawaiian flare, we loved him!

Bruddah Vince is an extremely talent musician with a wide variety of music. He engaged with the audience and helped make our event most enjoyable. He was friendly and professional at the same time and I would not only hire him again but also recommend him to my family and friends. I will definitely be using The Bash for my party planning needs in the future.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on October 1, 2024•From Oxnard, CA
Very professional and prompt! Gave a great show!
:
Aloha Tish, Thank you very much for the opportunity to play for your colleagues and guests. It was a nice change of scene for me as I usually set-up in a corner of a room or on a stage. Going around the tables minstrel-style provided a refreshing experience and I especially loved playing for the toddlers and babies. Very Fun! Should you ever have the need for me to return, I'd love to perform for you again. Mahalo Nui Loa!
Review by Bernie A.
Memorial Service•Reviewed on September 30, 2024•From Pasadena, CA
We hired Bruddah Vince for my father's Celebration of Life event. Vince was amazing! He had a great song list and he even played along with my sister and my son as they sang my father's favorite Hawaiian song. Vince was professional, accommodating, and came hours early to set up and make sure the musical entertainment ran smoothly. He also has a great voice and has excellent guitar and ukulele skills. I would hire him in a second for any similar themed event and I won't hesitate to recommend him to other folks. If you're looking for any kind of Hawaiian-style music for your event you HAVE to hire Bruddah Vince! He's the best there is.
:
Aloha Bernie, Thank you very much for letting myself and Bucci perform for the Celebration Of Life. We really enjoyed ourselves. Everything from the beautiful scenery of the Japanese Garden to letting us add our sparkle to your wonderful list of treasured songs. It was touching to know that our performance was enjoyed by your friends and loved ones. Thank you so very much and when a future event calls for me to return, I'd be happy to. Mahalo Nui Loa Bernie. A Hui Hou!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 17, 2024•From Ladera Ranch, CA
Bruddah Vince arrived on time and was very professional. I threw a 50th bday for my husband in our backyard and because I grew up on the Islands we thought it would a fun theme. And Bruddah Vince was perfect for our evening with his live music. I read his reviews and I hired him so I hope this review makes you reach out for him to join your event. I felt like I was on the islands and went to a lovely night out with friends & family with his beautiful Hawaiian music in the background. Many guests complimented me on his music as well, so it was a successful evening in paradise. Professional & talented! Thank you Bruddah Vince! Highly recommended!
:
Kathleen, you hosted an outstanding Birthday party with catering, wait-staff, Bar, photo Backdrop etc... I really appreciated your attentiveness, hospitality, generosity and I'll never forget it. Thank you for your kind words. We sure had a wonderful time and I can't wait until your next event. Aloha!

Luau Party•Reviewed on August 24, 2024•From Costa Mesa, CA
Bruddah Vince /Harry Faustino was just lovely and perfect for our luau on 8/11. He was courteous, prompt, professional, kind to our residents and families, had a fabulous voice and demeanor. He was dressed professionally, considerate of those around him. Confirmed in advance and asked pertinent questions. We had a couple of other entertainers, Ryan & Kai Kalama who spoke very highly of Vince. He was a pleasure to have at our event and we will definitely invite him back to our community. Thank you Vince for all of your efforts and a great show for our community.
:
Megan, You really know how to throw a party for your residents. Wow! The Kalama Brothers, myself and Conrad all were booked by you. And your establishment is stunning. A really nice venue. Thank you so very much for the opportunity to play for you and I look forward to returning again in the future. Aloha!
Review by Linda O.
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 19, 2024•From Porter Ranch, CA
Bruddah Vince brought the show! I had a last minute cancellation from my initial performer. Bruddah Vince from the Bash received my notification and called me right away and saved the day! He understood my urgency and was very communicative for the short notice. He was punctual and did everything we had agreed upon. His goal was to help make my event memorable (hubby’s 50th Hawaiian themed birthday party), it was just the way I envisioned and more. He worked with me and delivered a phenomenal job. His music brought vibes of Hawaii and every guest that arrived felt relaxed and said they felt like they were in Hawaii. Thank you so much for your talent Brudda Vince!
:
Linda, we sure managed to make the best of what we had before us. Thank you for the opportunity of performing for you, your hubby, and the whole gang. This was a unique scenario as I hadn't held the Deejay role in a while but I quickly adapted to what your guests requested and the genre of music preferred. I'm certainly looking forward to performing more events for you, Linda. Mahalo Nui Loa!

Funeral•Reviewed on August 19, 2024•From Anaheim, CA
Vince showed up early to ensure that he was set up on time, stayed late, and played beyond his paid time. The music he played was great, and he brought his own equipment, so the volume was perfect. He was friendly, took requests, and made the atmosphere natural and festive. I would highly recommend him.
:
Ben, you are a good man. The transparency of your story revealed your vulnerability which speaks volume of your character. Your family and friends were pleasant and wonderful to speak with. I enjoyed working with you as you gave me all the information I needed to make your mother's celebration truly touching. A Hui Hou!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on August 12, 2024•From Inglewood, CA
Bruddah Vince was excellent. He arrived on schedule with all his gear and went straight to work. His Island Vibe song selection was on point and his voice was silky smooth. I highly recommend Bruddah Vince to bring a Pacific Island experience directly to you and your guests. I felt like I was on vacation.
:
Thank you very much for the opportunity of performing for Soley's 5th Birthday Party. I especially appreciate the hospitality you provided, everything from the cute umbrella for shade to the fan blowing my way and everyone offering water for hydration and also for the delicious ice cream cake and food offered. You are a wonderful host and everyone was so kind and receptive. I'm very grateful for your kind-hearted words as they're very touching! I'd love to play for you again at another event in the future.
