How to Find Music for a Hawaiian Wedding - eHow.com Clear Instructions on How To Do (just about) Everything Web eHow.com Home Family & Relationships Center Wedding Bells How to Find Music for a Hawaiian Wedding Hawaiian music has a slow, melodic sound all its own. Capture the feel of the islands by using this traditional music to set the tone of your special day. Steps: 1. Explore your options to learn what Hawaiian musicians are available. Check the yellow pages, do a search online, and ask island hotels and banquet halls for recommendations. 2. Consult with a wedding planner, who can make the arrangements for you if time is short. 3. Ask to listen to the musician play before you make any decisions. 4. Request the Hawaiian wedding song, called "Ke Kali Nei Au." This means, "I'm waiting for thee." 5. Ask to have it played on a guitar or a guitar-ukulele duet. 6. Arrange for a hula dancer to perform to the song. 7. Listen to a demo of Hawaiian music to hear how it sounds. 8. Select other Hawaiian songs you would like to include on your wedding day. Some of the options include the "Maile Swing," "Sophisticated Hula" and "Pretty Red Hibiscus." 9. Expect to pay about $150 an hour for a vocalist/guitarist, and $100 an hour for a hula dancer. But remember that prices can vary quite a bit, depending on the performer's level of experience. Tips: Ask a conch shell, or pu, blower to announce the beginning of your ceremony. This signifies that an important event is about to occur.
