Route One

To ensure availability, especially for popular dates, we recommend booking as early as possible. Ideally, booking 12-18 months in advance is optimal.

Our standard arrival time is typically around 6 pm, often after speeches have finished. However, if you need to use our PA system, we can arrange this for a small additional fee. Please inform us in advance so we can make the necessary arrangements.

Our rates generally range from £1099 to £1599, depending on various factors such as the day of the week, location and whether your wedding falls on a peak date. A non-refundable management fee is required to confirm your booking, with the remaining balance due 28 days before the event.

In the rare event of illness or unforeseen circumstances, we have experienced musicians on standby who are familiar with the band's setlist. They can step in to ensure the performance proceeds without any disruption.

Route One will adhere to the venue's sound regulations to guarantee a positive experience for both staff and guests. Our typical sound level is around 97 decibels, which is standard for a live band. We will discuss and address any potential sound limitations, including the use of a limiter, with the venue before the event.
