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!

Bruddah Vince was absolutely amazing! The social hour and dinner was so enjoyable because of him.

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.

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!

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.

Wonderful musician, would definitely hire again.
Bruddah was on time, performed well, and our wine club members praised about his voice and music choices.

Angela, your event was spectacular! I couldn't believe the stunning view that your establishment provided. The hot air balloon was visually awesome and the raffle was certainly a lot of fun. When you have another club event, please keep me in mind as I'd definitely return to perform for you. Cheers Angela and A Hui Hou!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 8, 2024•From Whittier, CA
Bruddah Vince was amazing. I first hired Bruddah Vince for my beach proposal, then we hired him a second time to perform for family while my fiance and I announced we were engaged. He was extremely professional, reliable, and responsive. I was left waiting to hear back from many other artists until I reached out to Bruddah Vince, who promptly responded. Wherever he went, he created an ambiance, wether it was in front of my to be fiance and I or in front of her entire family playing in the backyard. Vince's voice was great and his ukulele playing very smooth. He created the perfect Island/Hawaiian ambiance. You cannot go wrong hiring this awesome guy.
:
John, you are an extraordinary person first and foremost and a wonderful planner. You set the perfect setting for your proposal which will be able to be reviewed for years to come. You gave detailed information which made it a joy to work with you. Performing again for you and your family was also a treat. You and your game are 2nd to none! I'll work again with you anytime, brother. A Hui Hou!

Mucho mahalo to Bruddah Vince for creating such a memorable and special experience for the guests at my mom's celebration of life. His talented singing and playing truly delivered the aloha spirit that my mother embodied. Don't hesitate to book him for your next event. He's a great communicator and very professional. He was even able to learn/perform a song (beautifully!!) that is not on his usual playlist ...within a 24 hour notice!! Thank you, Bruddah Vince! You have Amazing Grace.
:
Kat, playing for your mother's celebration was quite a unique experience as it was my first time at a studio complex. The multi-plex facility is modern and accommodated everyone nicely.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 27, 2024•From Oxnard, CA
Vince brought my 40th bday celebration to a whole other level! He performed during the beginning of my party and welcomed my guests as they settled in. Working with him was easy from the start. From booking to song choice selection. He was flexible in ensuring the vision that I had for my party came to fruition. Those who've attended my party had wonderful things to say about his performance and asked for his information, so they can book him for their own events. Thank you Vince for making my 40th an epic experience!
:
Rosylynn, You are very welcome! Thank you for having me over to entertain everyone. I really enjoyed myself playing for such a receptive audience and getting out of my comfort zone to play R&B was refreshing. Mahalo for sharing my information with your attendees. I'd be happy to play again for you and your family/friends in the future. Best Wishes!
