Bellissima are a well-established hugely talented and stylish party band. Made up of young dynamic industry professionals Bellissima are one of the finest acts in the UK today. Their client list includes Disney Merrill Lynch Barclays Bank and Lancome. Bellissima band members this year alone have worked with Celine Dion Joss Stone and Peter Grant to name but a few. The standard of musicianship in the band is staggering.
Bellissima will provide you with 2 hours of party music. Drawing from a huge repertoire of songs they will skilfully judge the crowd and play exactly what the party needs. Whether it’s a funky 70s groove some 60s rock and roll or a classic hit from the 80s these guys know what they are doing and will add something to your party that few bands can bring to the stage.
If you want something really special then bring Bellissima’s Horn Section to the stage! This will add class and amazing impact to the performance. They also have a DJ available to keep your party going long into the night.
If you want a little live background music while your guests arrive or during dinner why not book the acoustic duo? This acoustic guitar and vocal combo will play classic jazz soul and acoustic songs from every decade. It creates a cool and classy atmosphere for your guests to enjoy.
Bellissima have invested over £10 000 in their sound and lights system. You can be sure of an awesome clarity of sound throughout their performance.

"We both wanted to thank you so much for helping to make our big day so perfect.
You were so accommodating from the off-set, helping to tailor make a programme for the whole day that fit perfectly with our vision.
Everyone commented on how well you picked up on the vibe of the day and worked your repertoire accordingly. So many people remarked on how lovely the accoustic set was out in the orchard, jamming away on a hay bail and playing those songs that meant something special to us.
As for the evening reception, you got the party started, playing just what was needed to get everyone up on the dance floor and then remain there for the whole night.
You definitely went with the feeling on the night and every tune was a hit. You made the whole event feel really personal from our first dance, encouraging the not so great movers to keep moving and getting myself and the groom to let our hair down.
We're both so grateful for giving us the best party ever. We had the most fun!
Please let me know if there is anything else and I promise to always remember you for any music requests!!
Hope you had a lovely Christmas, got some rest and Happy New Year to both of you from both of us!
Best wishes,
Clair and Rob xx

"Dear Becky,
I am so sorry that it has taken me a whole week to sit down and finally email you, to thank you for all your help with Romaana and Marty's wedding. Bellissima were excellent on the day - very adaptable and friendly!
As I'm sure you know due to torrential rain and flooding in north London, two of the band members were stuck in terrible traffic but when they got to the venue, they got straight on stage and got on with it! I thought they sounded really good and the guests seemed to love them! Please pass on my thanks to Richard and the rest of the band - they were wonderful!
Another great job with the Alive Network! Looking forward to the next.
With very best wishes
Polly
