Rio Butler – Acoustic Folk Duo for Weddings
I’m Rio Butler, a singer, guitarist, and songwriter based on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. Together with my wife, Bethany, who accompanies me on piano, synth, and acoustic guitar, we create a warm, authentic acoustic folk experience that’s deeply personal and inspired by the laid-back coastal lifestyle we love.
Our music blends folk, roots, blues, and a touch of rock, drawing on my passion for storytelling and melody. Every song we play is crafted to reflect the unique story of the couple we’re celebrating, making your wedding day feel truly special and memorable.

• Genuine connection: As a husband-and-wife duo, we understand how important your wedding day is. We take the time to get to know you and your story, so every song and moment feels personal and heartfelt.

About Me
I’ve been playing guitar and singing since 2004, inspired by artists like The Beatles, Foo Fighters, and Powderfinger. Music is my way of connecting with people and sharing stories that resonate. Bethany and I have been performing together for over ten years, blending our talents and life together to bring a genuine, heartfelt vibe to every event.
We live on the Sunshine Coast with our family, and music is a big part of our life—both on stage and at home.
Let’s create something beautiful together.
