5/5 from 697 reviews
Photo of Belle Histoire Belle Histoire "Great wedding performance! It was great to have Belle Histoire performing at our wedding in Lake Como (at Relais Villa Vittoria) in July 2023. We had a great time, our guests had a blast. In addition to her absolutely incredible voice, the lead singer helped us make a couple of guest announcements as well. It was really easy to make arrangements with the band - the performance was exactly what we were hoping for and more. Definitely recommend!" Based in Saronno, Lombardy, Italy (27 miles from Lugano) Anastasia I. - wedding party Photo of Sunny Side Trio Sunny Side Trio "Fantastic! A trio full of energy, smiling, communicative" Translated from Italian Based in Milan, Lombardy, Italy (39 miles from Lugano) 22nd May 2026 Chiara - Event Photo of Romeo solo Jazz Guitar/duo/trio/Big Band Romeo solo Jazz Guitar/duo/trio/Big Band "A precise and discreet person, he accompanied our evening with friends by playing jazz guitar, including manouche style, in a varied yet impeccable way—never overly virtuosic, never banal. The melodies did not take the center stage, providing the perfect background, just as we had requested. A wonderful evening. Thank you, Romeo!"

What a sound these guys have! They are truly exciting and engaging. One of the best Rock 'n' Roll bands from the 50s I've heard so far." Translated from Italian Based in Genoa, Liguria, Italy (111 miles from Lugano) Fabrizio M. - Evento pubblico Photo of Uke Swing Uke Swing "With their swing they brought joy to everyone.
