Hands down the best! Awesome planners and awesome musicians!

The best money we spent on the wedding was the incomparable Mango Season! We found them through a very serendipitous Spotify search, and I reached out asking if they were free to play for my wedding. As it turned out, they also had wedding planning services, so we decided to hire them for both their music and their planning.


To say it was 'money well spent' is an incredible understatement. Annie and Curtis made the wedding planning process smooth, which is no small feat considering how the wedding was originally planned for early 2020, and ended up going through three date changes and two and a half venues. Be it pandemic restrictions or venues closing for renovation, Mango Season was always on top of the chaos that came our way. When our first venue told us about their prolonged renovation, Mango Season provided a list of alternatives and scouted them out in record time. When new Oahu gathering restrictions (10 indoor, 25 outdoor) hit the week before our wedding, Mango Season negotiated with our new venue to help figure out a solution where we could have everything outdoors. Not only that, but they kept on top of our rental contracts, adapting everything seamlessly to fit the new venues, finding new rentals to cover new concerns, as well as drafting up new layouts to accommodate our unorthodox reception plan.


Not only were they spectacular before the wedding, but they were incredible during as well. With Annie's detailed timeline in hand, everyone was on the same page on what would happen when. Annie and her team were pneumatically efficient and organized in shepherding the guests, communicating with the wedding party, handling test and vaccination checks, making the favors, and more. The day of and the days after, our wedding party and family continually commented on how amazing Mango Season was at handling and coordinating the day.


Three paragraphs in and I haven't even gotten to the music yet! Needless to say, 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! Some of them even asked me for a list of all the songs haha. Not only that, but for the dance party portion, they put together some of my favorite songs into an awesome dance mix. Curtis also made a great emcee, smoothly transitioning through each part of the reception.


At the end of the night we were both elated by how the day went, but also a little sad, because it marked the last day that we'd be working with Mango Season, who we've been working with for more than two years! Seriously, do not hesitate to hire them; they are incredible planners and fantastic musicians. There are so many other things they did that I don't have the space to touch on -- all the suggestions Annie had to flesh out my rough wedding vision, their storeroom of items (signage, gift boxes, candle holders etc) so we didn't have to spend on more rentals, the wedding planning tool they had (Aisle Planner) that kept us on track and organized -- even now as I think more and more things are coming to my mind! We can't express how grateful we are to them for making everything so perfect!


Annie and Curtis - thank you so much for the best day of our lives!

Book Mango Seasons!

Curtis and his wife, Annie, brought our wedding welcome party to life with their incredible musical talent! From the start, the company was extremely professional: holding a Zoom to hear about our vision & preferences, checking in just before the event week and working seamlessly with our venue behind the scenes. They worked within our budget and even a duo sounded like a 4-5 piece band. They even MC’d the evening for us and kept the party moving and grooving all night long. Our guests had a blast! We especially appreciated that they learned a new song just for our party and performed it to a tee. We could not recommend Mango Seasons for your event enough - book them, you will not regret it!

Mango Season - Oahu

We originally wanted an intimate ensemble for the ceremony and dinner. The DJ for dancing.

We soon realised how much ambience a band gives for the whole event. We went with mango season as our wedding planner mentioned they were very good.
After meeting with Curtis , he was so helpful on planning, song selection, timing or order of songs.
The night was incredible and the music was so on point. We had a lot of guests comment on how good they were.

We are so happy with the package mango season had to offer our wedding. Thanks again. I can’t recommend highly enough.

Team

Annie Kamiya
Annie Kamiya
Co-Owner | Lead Planner & Designer

Annie (she/her) is the founder & co-owner of Mango Season Weddings. Her work is centered on one idea: weddings should be wildly fun yet wonderfully efficient.

Currently, she is burning the midnight oil refining her 12-step planning process, a cornerstone of her MSW methodology, to infuse more joy and less work into wedding planning while honoring multi-cultural traditions.

While she absolutely looks like a mild-mannered librarian by day, by night she lets her inner rockstar out and shaggy mohawk down to sing with her husband, Curtis — check out that handsome devil down below! — and band Mango Season at wedding venues all over O’ahu.

FAVORITE WEDDING DAY MOMENT - FIRST DANCE

“I feel like all the love, personality and culture gets funneled into this moment. From choreographed waltzes to flash mobs, the first dance captures the spirit of a couple and makes every single guest smile or happy cry…or both!”

Curtis Kamiya
Curtis Kamiya
Co-Owner | Music Director

Curtis (he/him) is the co-owner of Mango Season Weddings and the founder of Mango Season Music. Born & raised in Honolulu, Hawai’i, he began officially gigging as a serious singer & guitarist at age 17. (Holding his amp in between his legs on his moped to every gig).

A graduate of the University of Puget Sound’s School of Music program, Curtis deepened and expanded on his real world music education which in turn provided him the guiding belief that powers his business today: music is the through line and heartbeat of your wedding day. With this in mind, his ethos is to create a highly customized, unique playlist for each couple and to provide that “wow factor” for each wedding.

When not performing, writing, charting or dreaming in music, Curtis relishes nights at home to hone his meat braising skills — always brown your meat before putting it in the Crock Pot, kids! — to the delight of his wife and dog-hter.

FAVORITE WEDDING DAY MOMENT - CEREMONY

“During the processional when the officiant asks the guests to stand and the bride appears. That moment gets me every time, and I'm often singing at that moment. It's hard to sing while crying!”

Jessica Sayno
Jessica Sayno
Executive Assistant | Wedding Coordinator

Jessica (she/her), or Jess to all who get to easily know and love her, has been a valuable part of our Mango Season Weddings ‘ohana since 2012, and officially joined our team 2 years ago.

Also born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai’i, Jess is the jill-of-all-trades of Mango Season handling all aspects of our business from day-of coordination to vendor management.

While she falls squarely in the Millennial camp, she is an old soul wise beyond her years. She brings that deep soulful self to every interaction she has with our clients. Although Jess now calls Las Vegas home, she is an ambassador of the rich culture she grew up with, and passionately shares her experiences of Hawai’i with our couples.

FAVORITE WEDDING DAY MOMENT - THE VOWS

“I’m such a sucker for romantic declarations! As often as I can, I try to work near the ceremony just so I can listen in. I become such a sap when I get to witness the love two people have for each other.”

I've had the pleasure of working with Mango Season (Annie and Curtis) on several weddings. Not only are they great entertainers, but they are EXTREMELY professional, and working with them makes my job so much easier. They're always willing to accommodate my clients, and will even learn songs specifically for each client. i've worked with them on weddings and non-wedding events and what I love most about Annie and Curtis is you can tell how much they love all of these events equally. They get so stoked for each and every event we've done together, and I know it never goes unnoticed by my clients. Thanks Annie and Curtis, for being the talented, funny, and amazing people that you are! :)
