About

Experience the charming sounds of Bella River Duo, a premier acoustic duo, based out of Southampton, Hampshire, with a global footprint and a vast, vibrant repertoire.

Natalie and Rich, the talents behind Bella River, have visited over 50 countries and collected over 450 songs, each chosen with care and imbued with a personal touch that connects deeply with audiences.

From the spectacular city of Osaka, where they enchanted audiences during a three-year stint with Japan's leading wedding and events company, Escrit Inc., to prestigious venues like the Formula 1 Grand Prix at Silverstone and London's Hyde Park during the 2012 Olympics, their journey has been nothing short of spectacular.

Their collaborations are equally impressive, having shared stages with music legends such as Billy Ocean, Rick Astley, Tony Hadley and Alexandra Burke, and performed for five star hospitality brands including Hilton Hotels & Resorts, The Ritz Paris, The Shard, Celebrity Cruises, and many, many more.

Now back in the UK, Bella River offers you the chance to bring their unique blend of heartfelt acoustic stylings to your wedding day. Whether it's the gentle strumming of a classic love song or a lively modern hit, each performance is crafted to create unforgettable moments.
