“We would have been completely lost without Mango Season Weddings.”

We would have been completely lost without Mango Season Weddings. We had the honor of working with their team for wedding planning and our entertainment needs. From our initial call until the final moments of our wedding day, they exceeded our expectations in every way possible. Right from the start, Annie showcased her expertise and professionalism. We instantly felt like Annie and Curtis were friends of ours. They took the time to understand our vision, preferences, and budget, ensuring a personalized experience tailored to our unique style. Planning an Indian wedding in Hawaii is not an easy task - and we are currently living in NYC, making it much more complex, but Annie and her team relieved us of so much stress! … On the day of our wedding, Annie and her team were there to put us at ease at any stressful moment. Curtis and the entertainment team made our wedding music unforgettable. Curtis not only sang our first dance song, but also sang one song in Hawaiian and learned two songs in Hindi for us, which was extremely special to us and our families. Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend Mango Season Weddings to anyone. Truly the best money we spent! Their expertise, creativity, professionalism, and passion for their craft shine through in everything they do.

“Hire. Them. Now.”

If I could have my wedding again (with the same husband, DUH) over and over again, I would hire mango season over and over again each time. They brought the house DOWN. Considering how UNFAVORABLE the weather was (flash floods, pandemic becoming almost official), Annie and Curtis (and their team) were beyond amazing, professional, ELECTRIC and insanely talented. Curtis was incredibly nice and so pleasant to work with. He really understood what my husband and I were looking for. They crafted our reception so well and ran it sooo smoothly. Our friends and family could not stop raving and talking aout them. They even learned several songs for us and that made our day even MORE special. Unbeknownst to me, they even planned a surprise performance for us with my best friends. I mean, C'MON!! You work with musicians for their talent, but it's extremely special when you feel comfortable with them and feel like they understand you!! They can truly sing any genre. Any. Annie is out of this world awesome and talented. We were all SO sad when it was time to say goodbye. Hire. Them. Now.

“THANK YOU ANNIE AND CURTIS AND ENTIRE BAND

FOR THE MOST AMAZING NIGHT OF OUR LIVES!”

Words honestly can't describe the magic that Mango Season was at our wedding (literally words aren't enough... we and our guests still watch videos constantly to re-live it). The music was by far the most important part of the wedding to us, and they were the first vendor we hired. From the minute we started working with Curtis he made sure our dreams became reality. We added horns to make it a 10-piece band and paid for extra songs for them to learn, and I still can't believe how amazing they sounded… Most of our guests said it was the best wedding they've ever been to and are still talking about the entire musical experience. Also, have to mention that Annie was the MC and was exactly what we wanted. Funny, high energy, and super into it. Aghhh we want to do it all over again, so amazing. THANK YOU ANNIE AND CURTIS AND ENTIRE BAND FOR THE MOST AMAZING NIGHT OF OUR LIVES!!!!

“ANNIE AND CURTIS ARE THE BEST!!!! We would give them a gazillion stars if we could…”

ANNIE AND CURTIS ARE THE BEST!!!! We would give them a gazillion stars if we could; hiring MSW was worth every penny. Annie is so professional, compassionate, organized, funny, and oh boy can she crack the whip if needed. Curtis, her other half, is talented, humorous, and is a music legend… This dream team made our whole wedding planning such a breeze and stress-free, which is so important when you're planning a wedding! Annie is very knowledgeable about the industry and offered great advice and planning tips. I loved that she had a list of deadlines all mapped out so that we could accomplish them as a team… We honestly can't thank Mango Season Weddings enough for being a part of our special day. We will forever cherish them and they have a special place in our hearts. If you're on the fence about hiring MSW, just hop off the fence and commit to hiring them. Honestly, you won't regret it!

“Curtis was extremely professional, down to earth and an absolute pleasure to work with.”

Mango Season Weddings is amazing!!! Curtis and DJ Chris provided emcee and DJ services for our wedding in Hawaii at the end of August. Even though we only gave Curtis about a month or so notice he was totally on board and extremely positive! Curtis was so kind, patient and supportive when helping us plan our wedding program. He was very detail oriented and thought of things that we hadn’t (i.e. order of set up for performances, speeches, dances, etc.) to help make our reception incredible! Curtis was extremely professional, down to earth and an absolute pleasure to work with. He was also so responsive and completely eased our nerves. Not only is he a fantastic singer but he’s also a great emcee, funny and really got the crowd going. DJ Chris was equally amazing, playing great music and even got both sets of parents on the dance floor!! Everyone had soo much fun!! Thank you both!!

“Highly recommended and we would not change a thing!”

Highly recommended and we would not change a thing! Both Annie and Curtis made it very easy for us to choose our songs and they communicated with us very well. Our wedding felt very romantic and fun with the song selections, renditions, both Annie and Curtis’ vocals, and Annie being our MC. You definitely cannot go wrong choosing Mango Season! Thank you again Annie and Curtis. You definitely made our night feel extra special.

“Booking Curtis to perform during my wedding reception is one of the best decisions I've ever made…”

Booking Curtis to perform during my wedding reception is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I was going back and forth on whether I should hire a guitarist/vocalist to perform during my micro-wedding reception/dinner. About a month before the wedding, I reached out to Mango Season Weddings to see if anyone was available. By chance (and my wedding taking place on a Monday), Curtis was available to perform. He immediately scheduled a Zoom meeting to get an idea of the vibe I was going for, and by the end of the meeting he could describe my vision better than I could put into words. He single-handedly turned my boring dinner into a RECEPTION with his music and ability to read the room. I don't think I have ever seen my dad so happy (Curtis played classic rock for him), and somehow he had the majority of our 15 guests dancing by the end of the night. He truly is an exceptional person and performer. My family is so grateful he was a part of our big day.

“Mango Season Weddings is bloody amazing.”

Mango Season Weddings is bloody amazing. After our initial meeting with Annie, we knew we were in the best hands. We booked them a little over a year before our November 2021 date and had monthly zoom meetings up until the final month...and then COVID regulations forced us to push our date back by 5 months. Annie gave us the absolute best advice on how to move on and made that process so easy for us. On our wedding day, we didn't feel any pressure at all and we had so many guests tell us how much they loved everything. When you book them (I promise you won't need to look anywhere else), make sure that you have Curtis emcee and handle your music. He will sing like there is no tomorrow and have your guests laughing until they can't breathe.

“The best decision we have ever made for our wedding!”

Hiring Mango Season (Curtis and Annie) was one of the best decisions my husband and I have ever made for our wedding. They were very professional, flexible and quick to answer the questions we had. They created such a perfect cozy/jazzy atmosphere that we dreamt of for our wedding. Many of our guest (of course including us two) seriously fell in love with their voice. highly highly highly recommend hiring them. Thank you Curtis and Annie for making our wedding so perfect!

“Hands down the best! Awesome planners and awesome musicians!”

Mango Season Music blew me away. Before the ceremony, Curtis played some great Hawaiian slack key guitar. He also learned three songs for the ceremony - two instrumental covers of vocals, and one vocal - and pulled them off with aplomb. During the dinner portion of the reception, we had a jazz trio and they played an great set of tunes: Moondance, Fly Me To The Moon, Mango Season's own Lanikai Moon etc. They have a really fun funky, jazzy, groovy style, and my guests loved the songs they played!

“The day of my wedding, everything was perfect.”

Mango Season was my favorite vendor to work with while planning my wedding. Annie was so professional and easy to work with, she went above and beyond during the planning process. She was the mastermind behind the decorations, venue layout, timeline. All things that I did not want to do by myself. The day of my wedding, everything was perfect. I could not have pulled off such a fabulous party without the help of Mango Season Weddings, and I have no idea what I would have done without them. Most importantly, the music was the best that I've ever heard at any wedding!

“One of the best dance parties I’ve ever seen at a wedding.”

Annie and Curt are two really amazing people who happen to be running an incredible business. Their love for music, love for others, and love of life is readily palpable to those of us who are lucky enough to get to know them. Annie and Curt…played/sang as a duet during our cocktail hour and dinner, and did a beautiful job performing the song of our choice for our first dance (which they also provided a recording of in advance so we could practice to it). Finally our DJ (ML Smoothy) really brought down the house with one of the best dance parties I've ever seen at a wedding.

 Frequently Asked Questions

  • Rest assured — the person who sells you your music package is there on site on your wedding day to deliver the service.

    Curtis is co-owner and music director of Mango Season Weddings. You’ll be talking to him throughout the process of buying your package and planning for the wedding day.

    Curtis is also our lead singer & guitarist. He’ll be there on the wedding day, from the first notes played at pre-ceremony to the last send-off song of the night. Curtis will be the one making sure what you planned is exactly what happens.

    Annie is the other co-owner of Mango Season Weddings as well as our lead vocalist & percussionist. Depending on the wedding package you buy, she can often join the band during the wedding day and/or dance party.

    We also work with a company of O’ahu’s finest musicians to round out the players for the evening. Feels free to visit mangoseasonmusic.com to get to know some of our band.

  • The core of our band is Curtis Kamiya on vocals & guitar, and Annie Kamiya on vocals & percussion. However, we hire the appropriate number of musicians for the phase of the wedding and the style of music desired. We also often add musicians throughout the evening. For example, we'll start with a soloist for the ceremony, a duo for cocktail, a trio for dinner, and a six piece for dancing.

    For our core duo, we might add on a bassist to that configuration for a bigger and more energetic sound. For a dance party, we'll often further add on a drummer, keyboardist, and saxophonist.

    At our largest configuration, we have 10-12 players on stage — a 5 piece rhythm section of drums, guitar, bass, percussion, and keyboards; a horn section with alto sax, tenor sax, and trumpet; and additional lead or background singers.

  • Yes, absolutely! And we’re happy to customize a quote for you. It’s often best if we meet first for a consult so we can understand your music needs and then make our best recommendation.

    We can provide an ensemble as small as a solo musician or as large as a 12 piece band.

    Go ahead and schedule a consult with Curtis today and we’ll put something together just for you.

  • We recommend having music (live or recorded) playing throughout your entire event. Music helps to set the mood, it provides a sense of occasion, and lets your guests know something vibrant & important is happening .

    For either weddings or events, we recommend starting music about 15 minutes before your guests arrive, which helps lead your guests into either the ceremony location (for weddings) or your first activity (for events). Music should also accompany your guests from cocktail hour through dinner, and then into your after-dinner/dancing/final activity time.

    Our packages provide a total solution for your needs throughout the night with either a full night of live music or a mix of live and DJ/pre-recorded music.

  • The short answer is YES!

    We’re committed to making your wedding day uniquely yours. We love it when family or friends (or the bride and groom for that matter) want to participate musically. We can put on a karaoke track and provide a mic. We can accompany you on acoustic guitar. We can even have the full band learn a song for you.

    We’ve included all types of special, hand-crafted moments to make events memorable, and it is actually one of our specialities that sets us apart from other bands. A few notable moments we’ve created for our clients — A live, New Orleans-style second line parade to take guests to the after party; Arranged and performed a song written by the bride’s father for the Father/Daughter dance; Surprise Groom appearance on the drums to jam out with our band during the dance party, and many more!

    If you’ve got a request, go ahead and ask. :)

  • Audio Package

    We provide up to three different sound reinforcement systems for different phases of your wedding day. We often provide a PA system for your ceremony (including a wireless mic for your officiant), a different PA system for your cocktail area, and then third system for your reception.

    Our reception system will be equipped with a wireless mic for your MC, and a second wireless mic for your speeches. We will also bring an appropriate amount of speakers and sub-woofers for a crowd of up to 150 people. More specific specs are below.

    Our main reception audio system revolves around a QSC Touchmix 16 digital mixer. We use QSC K12s for our main speakers. We use QSC K10s and K8s for monitors, and a QSC KS212C for our sub-woofer.

    We use a combination of an Allen & Heath ZED10FX mixer and QSC speakers for our ceremony and cocktail setup. We use Sennheiser wireless mics.

    Lighting Package

    For packages including a dance party or DJ music, we bring a full compliment of customizable uplighting for behind the band/DJ. We also bring multicolor dance floor lighting.

  • YES! We work with many couples that book us for both planning & entertainment services. Our advice is to discuss the planning portion of your wedding day first and then move into how entertainment will match all your planning desires. At our planning consultation, we’ll discuss both services and then provide you with a customized proposal/quote.

  • YES! Here are a few options we can provide:

    • Hula dancers for a 15 minute, after-dinner hula show.

    • Deluxe dance floor and stage lighting.

    • Cold sparklers to make your special moments absolutely pop.

    • Depending on the live package you purchase, we’ll learn two or four new songs just for you. If that’s not enough new music, let us know and we can always learn more music for an additional fee.
