A room full of people, actually there.
For churches, weddings, and live shows. Guests opt in, and the apps that pull attention away go quiet for as long as the event lasts. No pouches. Nobody collecting phones at the door.
Every dot is a phone. Watch what happens when the show starts.
Every room has its moment.
Sermon, not scrolling.
You've seen it from the pulpit: the glow in row six during the message, a lock screen lighting up mid-prayer. Asking from the stage feels like scolding the people you're trying to reach. With Reroute, your congregation opts in once, and for the length of the service the feeds go quiet on their own.
Calls and texts still come through — the nursery can always reach a parent.
- Sunday services
- Youth nights
- Retreats and camps
- Small groups
Look up for the vows.
You planned the moment for a year. Your guests should see you walk in, not a screen of you walking in. Your photographer gets the aisle shot without a wall of raised phones, and the “unplugged ceremony” sign finally does its job.
Guests keep their phones on them. Nothing is collected at the door.
- Ceremonies
- First dance and toasts
- Rehearsal dinners
- Receptions
A crowd, not a sea of screens.
The encore everyone filmed and nobody watched back. Artists and venues get a room that's genuinely locked in: better energy, better crowd shots, and a show people remember with their own eyes.
No pouches, no lockers, no line at the door while staff seal phones.
- Intimate sets
- Album listening nights
- Comedy shows
- Theater
Everyone unplugs, not just the people who remembered.
An offsite only works if the whole room commits to the same unplugged experience. Reroute makes it the default for the session, so the person who left their phone in their room isn't the only one actually present.
It ends when the session does. Everyone's phone goes right back to normal.
- Company offsites
- Wellness retreats
- Workshops
- Leadership circles
Opt in for the night. Nothing to confiscate.

The room holds itself
For the length of the event, distracting apps stay quiet. When the window closes, every phone goes back to normal.

Give them the moment, not the screens.
We're onboarding a small number of churches, weddings, concerts, and venues. Tell us about yours and we'll reach out. No launch date yet, and no spam.
What is Reroute for Events?
We help event organizers — churches, wedding couples, concert promoters, venues, retreats — create a phone-free experience. Attendees opt in for the duration of the event, and Reroute holds the room to it, so nobody's watching the moment through a screen.
Is this a hard ban on phones, like a pouch system?
No. We're not confiscating anyone's phone or locking it in a pouch. Reroute is opt-in and software-based — guests keep their phones on them, calls and texts still work, but the apps that pull attention away from the room stay quiet for the length of the event.
How do you run a phone-free church service?
Announcements from the stage and "please silence your phones" slides rarely hold past the first song. With Reroute, members opt in once, and for the length of the service the distracting apps on their phones stay quiet on their own — nobody has to be called out, and calls and texts still come through for parents and on-call staff.
How do you have an unplugged wedding ceremony?
Most couples rely on a sign and an officiant announcement, which guests forget the moment you walk down the aisle. Reroute lets guests opt in ahead of time or at the door, and the feeds on their phones go quiet for the ceremony window, so your photographer gets the aisle shot without a wall of raised phones.
Could our church use this every Sunday?
That's exactly the kind of recurring event we want to support. Tell us about your services in the form below and we'll talk through how it would work for your congregation.
Do guests have to download anything?
Yes, guests install the Reroute app and opt into the event ahead of time or at the door. It takes under a minute, and it's their choice — nobody's phone is affected without them agreeing to it first.
How is this different from asking people to put their phones away?
Asking works for about ten minutes. Reroute makes the commitment stick for the whole event — it's the difference between a request and something that actually holds.
How do we set this up?
Tell us about your event with the form on this page. We're onboarding a small number of churches, weddings, concerts, and venues while we build this out, and we'll reach out to get you set up.
