Frequently Asked Questions – Booking Kodiak Avenue

Please send us a message with some information, such as the date and location of your event, and we will get back to you with our availability.

Absolutely! We specialise in last minute weddings and events, and we are happy for you to contact us with late bookings.

Yes! Our set-up allows us to perform outdoors, weather permitting. However, we will need shelter as electrical equipment is used, and a standard domestic power socket should be provided for us to plug into. If the weather is unpredictable on the day of your event, it is not advisable to proceed with outdoor entertainment.

Our pricing varies depending on the specifics of your event — such as location, performance duration, set times, and any special requirements. If your event involves extra travel, waiting time, or additional performance time, we’ll provide a custom quote to reflect that. We’re happy to chat through the details and provide a clear, no-obligation quote tailored to your event.

Yes! We can provide live acoustic entertainment during an afternoon event. If required, we can perform slower or more upbeat numbers and encourage your guests to dance. Some clients like to hire us for the early evening, before handing over to a DJ or band later in the night.

We aim to arrive at the venue around an hour prior to performance.

We typically perform either 2 x 30 minutes, 2 x 45 minutes, or 3 x 30 minutes, with a break of 15-30 minutes in between the two sets. If you require sets/breaks of a different length, please get in touch. We are happy to discuss options and answer any questions you may have.

We will need around an hour to unload, set up the equipment, and check sound levels.

We will need an area of flat, level ground for us to set up in (2 x 2 m2 minimum) and a plug socket nearby. We must be in an area away from dogs, other animals, and small children, due to health and safety and the electrical equipment we use.

Yes, we have a full PA system suitable for larger venues, and a portable amp which is ideal for smaller venues and events such as wedding ceremonies. Our PA setup features a 1250W Bose L1 Pro 16, delivering a clear and powerful sound that is perfect for audiences of around 300+ people. This versatile system ensures optimal audio quality for various events and performances.

Yes, we have full Public Liability Insurance, up to the value of £10million. Venues will often ask to see a performer's Public Liability Insurance certificate. If you need this, please let us know and we can e-mail a copy, either directly to you or to the venue.

Yes, we can bring our own compact lighting setup which will enhance the atmosphere at your event.

Yes. If you would like us to send you a copy of our current PAT test certificate, please let us know and we will e-mail it to you.

A 20% deposit is required to secure the date of your wedding. We will then send out an invoice a month before your wedding as the final payment, as well as confirmation of booking and a performance contract.

Please see our gig dates (https://www.kodiakavenue.co.uk/gig-dates)page for any upcoming events you may wish to attend. Many of our bookings tend to be weddings and private events which unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to, but our live recordings are a very accurate insight into how we sound. We also suggest checking out our reviews (https://kodiakavenue.co.uk/reviews)page to see what previous clients have said.

We are available to perform at barbecues, hog roasts, line dancing events, themed parties, and many other different types of events! We have performed at hotels, holiday resorts, corporate events, garden parties, restaurants, festivals, birthday parties and other special occasions.

No! We are primarily a modern country duo, but alongside our Country Set List, we also have a Pop and Rock Set List. Please visit our set lists (https://www.kodiakavenue.co.uk/set-lists)page for more information.

Yes! The First Dance (or other bespoke song) is included if you book our evening package, and we will arrange and learn this free of charge. Additional requests that are not already in our repertoire can be made at a fee of £50 per song.

If the booking is made at short notice (less than one month in advance), we will need to select the repertoire for the event.

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £50 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.

We cover Cheshire, Wirral, North Wales, Liverpool, Manchester, Lancashire, and beyond. Please enquire for more details.
