Kate & Kayla Musical Duo, based in Honolulu, HI, offers beautiful musical performances for weddings and other special occasions. We're a duo who met at the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami. With over seven years of performance experience and four years singing together, we bring a heartfelt, professional sound to every event we play. We're also both independent artists with original music.
Whether you're planning a proposal, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, or even need a DJ set to keep the party going—we're here to make it magical. We perform with guitar, piano, and 'ukulele harmonies and cover a wide range of songs to match your vibe and vision.
It would be our dream to write a custom song just for you—or even change the lyrics of a favorite tune to create a fun, personalized surprise for your partner.
We're flexible, passionate, and honored to be part of your celebration of love—wherever it takes you on O'ahu.

- KateMusician & Co-founderAt 23 years old, I’ve been passionate about music my entire life, starting piano lessons at age five. Over time, I discovered a deep love for singing and decided to build a career around it. Performing and releasing music under my artist name, Girl in the Garden, I embrace a wide range of genres—from country and folk to pop, indie, EDM, and even hyperpop and bluegrass. If it’s a style, I’m excited to explore it through songwriting. Raised on a small ranch in Idaho, my roots keep me grounded, and when I’m not making music, you can find me working as a wrangler, balancing my love for the outdoors with my artistic journey.
- KaylaMusician & Co-FounderI’m 23 and grew up in Minnesota with Panamanian roots, singing and writing songs pretty much my whole life. I release my original music under my artist name, Kayla Via! These days, I’m living in Honolulu and teaching music at Kapālama Elementary, where I get to share my love of music with awesome kids every day. I love singing in both English and Spanish, especially layering in harmonies to make the songs feel fuller. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me singing with Honolulu Blend a local barbershop chours
