Hawaiian Wedding Musics - Hawaiian Wedding Songs
We have been professional musician/ministers for many years and as such we recognize the significance of meaningful, well-presented music at weddings. Our rendition of "The Hawaiian Wedding Song" can be heard by clicking on the CD icon at the bottom of this page. Or you may prefer the soft strains of a classical guitar or a harp and flute. Or perhaps a contemporary-Hawaiian performer who may sing your special song. Or a Hawaiian trio with a beautiful hula dancer.  Or maybe you would prefer to bring a favorite CD which we can play during the ceremony.  Talk to us.  If we can do it, we will do it and we will do it right - at amazingly reasonable rates.

The Hawaiian Wedding Song

"The Hawaiian Wedding Song" is, strangely enough, not its original title. It was composed by Charles E. King, Hawai'i's celebrated composer of the first half of the 20th century, as "Ke Kali Nei Au" (Waiting for Thee) for his operetta, "The Prince of Hawai'i" which premiered at the Hawai'i Theater on May 4, 1925. It was first recorded on Columbia Records, by legendary Hawaiian musicians Helen Kapuailohia Desha Beamer and Sam Kapu in the same classic duet style sung by Mark and Diane today. Years later, both Andy Williams' and Elvis Presley's distinctive recordings of the song popularized it around the world for generations to come. Although the beautiful English lyric is not a translation of the original Hawaiian, it is recognized by millions.

Mark Yasuhara and Diane Yasuhara

Mark and Diane were both born and raised in Hawai'i, he in Hilo on the Big Island, and she in Honolulu. They were married on Father's Day, 1967 and have two grown daughters. Between 1969 and 1989, Mark and Diane recorded and concertized in some of the greatest concert halls and churches in America as "The Hawaiians." Their music ministry included several international crusade telecasts with Dr. Billy Graham. They recorded 14 albums all of which are now out of print.
