Memorial ServiceReviewed on November 4, 2024From Palm Desert, CA

we needed to make this special day. It was a memorial service for a very close friend. The song that was played was super important and Bruddah Vince was a real pro! He’s super talented and professional. Very happy we hired him!

:

Scott, Thank you kindly for the opportunity of performing for the Celebration Of Life. I appreciate how well organized the Church function was especially with the organist and vocalists. It really elevated the mood. Big Mahalo again to you, Scott for our continued correspondence and for your instruction to make the event a success. Mahalo Nui Loa!

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on October 24, 2024From 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!

:

Tracy, I enjoyed playing at Ron's Birthday Birthday party for your family and friends. Thank you for keeping in touch regarding details and for your courtesy in making sure I had what I needed. Your generosity is very kind. I was glad to meet a few expatriates from the Islands and I hope at some point to return to play again for you folks. A Hui Hou!

Community EventReviewed on October 6, 2024From Manhattan Beach, CA

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.

:

Patti, We sure enjoyed ourselves at the Beachfront entertaining the runners. How fun it was! Thank you for the opportunity to perform with our special cast. I look forward to working with you again in the future. Aloha!

Corporate FunctionReviewed on October 1, 2024From 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!

Memorial ServiceReviewed on September 30, 2024From 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, 2024From 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!

I enjoyed playing the requests from your friends and family who truly define Aloha. The Grill-master did an unbelievable job on those Kalbi ribs. So Delicious!

Luau PartyReviewed on August 24, 2024From 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, 2024From 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!

FuneralReviewed on August 19, 2024From 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!

Review by Susan T.

FuneralReviewed on August 18, 2024From Cypress, CA

Vince was AMAZING! His music was so beautiful and all of our guests were commenting how incredible he was. Thank you so much, Vince. We will most definitely hire you again! Mahalo!

:

Susan, the ceremony and shared stories from your loved ones followed by the reception turned out beautifully! Thank you for working with me and coordinating the details to make your event a success. Your kind generosity and hospitality are greatly appreciated. Please contact me again for another future event, Susan. Aloha!

Birthday Party (Kids)Reviewed on August 12, 2024From 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. Mahalo Nui Loa!

Club EventReviewed on August 1, 2024From Temecula, CA

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!

Corporate FunctionReviewed on July 24, 2024From Laguna Beach, CA

Bruddah Vince was amazing! He was great to work with before the event and was very responsive while we were planning the event as well as the day of the event. Our guests LOVED him! We had Bruddah Vince sing and play the ukulele at a corporate brunch event and he helped create the perfect atmosphere for our guests! I would recommend him to anyone looking for entertainment for an event and would love to work with him again!

:

Madisen, Thank you for the wonderful opportunity of playing at your corporate brunch. The view from the Montage was breathtaking! You and your team were a delight to work with from the very beginning which resulted in logistics being a breeze. I look forward to working with you again. Mahalo Nui Loa!

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on July 8, 2024From 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!

Bruddah Vince was outstanding. He is so talented and engaged with our guests about the songs and everyone commented on what a wonderful time they had. It was everything he promised and then some. Don’t hesitate one minute in booking him. You will not be disappointed. I wish I could have booked him for the entire day! I will definitely reach out again! He made my 50th great!

I’m so grateful to have found such a professional, courteous and talented musician. He was highly attentive to all my requests, he’s stayed in constant communication with me, his music was Beautiful and perfect for the occasion (Hawaiian Themed bridal shower), He arrived extra early to set up, and he was just so easy to work with.

Review by Kat I.

Memorial ServiceReviewed on July 4, 2024From Vista, CA

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. You and your siblings shared wonderful accounts reflecting back on your mother's life and things turned out beautifully! Mahalo Nui Loa, Kat!

Luau PartyReviewed on May 16, 2024From Winnetka, CA

Bruddah Vince is kind, accommodating and so very talented! We booked him to perform at a community luau for YelpLA and he truly made the event special-- as our guests arrived they all commented on how beautiful his music was! The evening would not have been the same without him. He was always accommodating, gracious, and absolutely understood the ambiance we were going for. If you're considering booking Bruddah Vince-- what are you waiting for!? His music is the perfect addition to any gathering, and we hope to work with him again soon.

:

Taylor, I am so grateful to you and Maddy who diligently worked with me through the administrative hurdles but it was worth it. I'm glad your team arrived early to set things up as it guided me to do the same. The event was a success and things worked out beautifully, Aloha!

Review by Rosylynn D.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on May 27, 2024From 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!

WeddingReviewed on June 25, 2024From Temecula, CA

Bruddah Vince was on time very courteous and responsive as the days get closer to whatever event you might be having. Great tone well versed in the music. Highly Recommend Bruddah Vince for any Ukulele or Hawaiian vibes you're looking for.

:

Bo, your wedding was picturesque at a beautiful location. Thank you for reaching out in advance as everything went according to plan. I met people from Maui who enjoyed the music and made them feel like they were back home. I'd be happy to perform at a future function for you, Bo. Aloha!
