Celebrating 10 Years of Bella River - What a Journey It's Been!

One of our very first adventures - heading to the shore of Maui, Hawaii!

This year marks a decade of Bella River – ten incredible years of music, adventure, and unforgettable memories with my partner, both on and off the stage. What started as a shared love for music turned into a life we could only dream of, filled with worldwide travels and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

Over the past 10 years, we’ve had the privilege of performing on luxury cruise lines and in five-star hotels across the globe, bringing our sound to audiences in some of the most beautiful places on Earth. Every performance shaped us, helped us grow, and brought us closer not only as musicians but as people.

Some moments will stay with me forever. Whale watching off the coast of Maui, Hawaii, was one of those truly magical experiences – we were lucky enough to witness a mother humpback whale teaching her calf how to breach. Watching them leap out of the water in such a stunning setting felt surreal.

Another unforgettable memory was scuba diving in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Swimming alongside massive green turtles and immersing ourselves in the vibrant marine life reminded us of just how lucky we were to call this lifestyle our reality.

We’ve also grown so much as artists. Performing almost daily gave us the chance to develop our sound, connect with diverse audiences, and discover who we are musically. Whether it was a luxury resort, an intimate acoustic set at a wedding, or a beachside celebration, each experience has shaped Bella River into the acoustic duo we are today.

And now, we’re so excited to bring all that experience back home. As a Hampshire-based wedding music duo, we’re loving every chance to perform at stunning venues across the UK and Europe, creating unforgettable moments for couples on their special day. Whether it’s a romantic first dance or laid-back afternoon vibes, live acoustic music has a magic we never get tired of sharing.

We’ve also met some of the most incredible people – friends for life from all corners of the world. And as we continue this journey, we're proud to now be part of the vibrant live music scene in Hampshire and beyond.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us along the way. Here’s to 10 years of Bella River – and the many more adventures to come!
