£1,655 + TravelThis isn’t your average party band. This is the real deal. A proper, all out indie rock act armed with a killer sound, flawless setlist and genuine star quality.
Trendy, easy-going and fun. Drive’s jaw-dropping indie live show is perfect for stylish weddings, high end private parties and corporate events, large or intimate.
“Drive were absolutely brilliant. Loved their sets. Chris was very easy to communicate with. We're very happy customers and will recommend to others.”
Paul - Wedding, Walthamstow Wetlands Wedding Venue, London“Many thanks for a fantastic performance in some pretty trying weather!”
Capt R - Officers' Mess, Surrey“They were fantastic, thank you for facilitating. They read the crowd very well and played two great sets.”
Chris - Officers' Mess, Surrey“We had an absolutely amazing time and Drive were absolutely incredible. We were completely blown away. They nailed the brief and kept everyone on the dance floor. Their rendition of our song request (Bubbles) was note PERFECT (even down to the solo) and we loved that they were on the same wavelength as the bride when she came to request 'I Believe in a Thing Called Love' only to find it was already queued to be played next. Everyone has been telling us how incredible they thought the band were and we still can’t get over how good their performance was. Everyone was on the dance floor and loving it - Drive really bought the vibes we dreamed of. In preparation for the day, Chris was super-responsive and arranged a call for us to discuss what we were looking for and put our minds at ease. He took time to consider what we wanted and it was clear from the set list that every request had been carefully considered. We would highly recommend Drive to anyone!”
Elliott & Kathryn - Wedding, Stone Barn, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire“They were absolutely brilliant, really great performance. Furthermore, super easy to work with and tailored the music really well to the crowd, and the atmosphere.”
Tomos - Christmas Party, Officers' Mess, Poole“Sorry this is a bit delayed but we’ve just got back from our honeymoon so we’re just getting around to sending out emails now! I just wanted to drop an email to say thank you so much - you were even better than we expected and I’ve had so many comments from guests saying how excellent you were! Music can definitely make or break a night and you definitely made our night.”
Katie & Jonathan - Wedding, Manor Farm Barn, Bicester“We were incredibly satisfied with the band performing at our wedding on Saturday, our guests approached us many times to comment on the fantastic performance they put on and we thought their choice of songs, mixes and transitions were all outstanding. The band were also brilliant to work with approaching the wedding, particularly with our first dance request which had some specific features, these were executed perfectly and the band helped us to feel at ease throughout. We even had a few last minute timing changes on the day and the guys adapted brilliantly which ensured we felt comfortable as the music portion of the day approached!”
Rob & Pippa - Wedding, The Clock Barn, Whitchurch“Drive were fantastic and we received many compliments on the night of our wedding about their performance.”
Carla - Wedding, Cain Manor, Hampshire“It is one of the few weddings I have been to where everyone stayed on the dance floor. Several of the more technical guests also commented on how good the sound quality was.”
Julian & Laura - Wedding, Wright Farm, Buckinghamshire“Drive are a fantastic band and would have no hesitation in recommending them to other friends and family for an event. The music they played was perfect to get our wedding off to a great evening of dancing and fun.”
Susan & Vernon - Wedding, Blacknest Golf & Country Club, Hampshire“They were fantastic! So much fun and the dance floor was absolutely jam packed all night! The best! Everyone loved them.”
Lizzie - Wedding, Treehouse Study Centre, Hampshire“Fantastic band. Played all of our song requests. Guests loved them!”
Hannah & Thomas - Wedding, Elmore Court, Gloucestershire“Drive were fantastic to listen to! Everyone loved their style of music and they are very talented! The band were very accommodating and flexible during COVID times. We had to change our set times last minute due to restrictions, but Chris was excellent in communicating with us and finding solutions. He managed to get Dan to fill in last minute who went out of his way to learn all our favourite songs! And honestly he did a cracking job and has an amazing voice! We really appreciate all of your hard work in making our day special :) We would love to see Drive play again in the future and wish them all the best!”
Anna & Justin - Wedding, Blacknest Golf & Country Club, Alton
Absolutely! We have been performing at weddings and events for several years and have an infectious live show that guarantees a packed dance floor and a party that you and your guests will remember for years to come! Our repertoire features modern day dance floor fillers to your favourite rock and pop anthems, so there's certainly something for everyone.
We are happy to perform one special request for you - for weddings this is usually the first dance. You can also let us know your top 10 preferences from the repertoire, as well as send up to 30 requests for the disco - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the evening.
90 minutes. If you are organising a wedding or event where the evening reception is in the same room as your meal, we often arrive to set-up while the room is turned around - we can have background music playing within around 30 minutes of load in.
At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, any time between 8pm and midnight.
We perform 2 x 60-minute live sets in the evening and also provide a pre-mixed disco (tailored to your tastes) before and after live sets, so your whole night of entertainment is covered in one booking.
Yes - we can perform a 1 x 60-minute acoustic set as an add-on, which is perfect for during drinks or dinner.
The pre-mixed DJ service is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 30 songs in advance for this) through the PA before and after their live sets. We do this at most events and it works great - the volume of the music would be the same as if you had a DJ.
If you upgrade to the live DJ service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member selecting and mixing tracks live on the night, as well as taking requests. The DJ will be happy to make important announcements but they will not talk constantly over or between tracks (that's just not our style!). We also think it's important to say that the DJ won't have a separate DJ booth - they will set up in an appropriate space (ideally to the side of the stage) and the PA/lighting will be the same as what is being used by the band.
Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.
The published guide price is based on our 4-piece line-up performing locally, the lower rate being for off peak winter dates and the highest rate for peak Saturdays in the summer. We charge travel costs if the venue isn't local to us, and if your venue is more than a 2 hour 30 minute drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.
Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.
Yes.
Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.
We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.
2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.
The band's standard rider is for a hot meal and soft drinks for the band members or a £25 pp rider buyout.
As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.
