    The Professional Experience I knew We needed

    They were prompt, professional and helped us make sure our days was wonderful. My husband and I were able to enjoy our day. My family and friends were also able to enjoy all the festivities because the H&W team had us covered. I highly recommend the for you wedding or special event.

    Unmatched service

    The Howerton-Wooten experience was truly special. I expected a planner to manage logistics of my wedding. What I got instead was such caring service from Kawania, LaShonda, and Marlo every step of the way. I only had a vague vision of what I wanted for my wedding and they were able to take a small concept and run with it to build the wedding of dreams I didn’t even know I had. I felt way out for my depth when I first started planning and so I got the full service and I will say it was worth every cent. The team is experienced, thoughtful, and so collaborative that I was the least stressed bride I know. They work with the best of the best vendors in the industry and I was able to be at peace and present during most of the planning and especially the day of the wedding. My husband and I will never forget being taken such good care of and we can’t wait to hire them again for all our life events!

    STOP LOOKING! You’ve found the BEST with Howerton+Wooten!

    I’m not sure who is the bigger genius: the professionals at Howerton+Wooten, or ME for hiring them!! When my now-husband and I had our first call with Kawania, we knew immediately that we had found our team captain. Kawania radiates warmth, expertise, knowledge, and understanding and those values are reflected throughout the H+W Events organization. Kawania created a bespoke package and experience that reflected our needs and our budget. She was a supportive and grounding force as she helped us design our wedding before another member of her team - LaShonda - took over to put everything into action. LaShonda was such a joy to work with. She made me feel heard, understood, and supported - even when my parents were trying to push for their own choices! - and made sure my husband and I were happy with each and every decision. I had an easy time trusting her and her ideas. Our wedding day was flawless thanks to LaShonda’s diligence, creativity, and leadership. Everything from the ceremony rehearsal to our last dance and send off was perfectly executed and easy. Our entire wedding party raved about LaShonda and her incredibly helpful schedule — a HUGE bonus for this Type A/control freak bride. I knew LaShonda had everything covered - even things I never thought of - so I was able to fully relax in the days leading up to the wedding and on wedding day. The only thing I had to worry about was getting dressed!! My only complaint is that our business together has concluded — I will miss Kawania, LaShonda, and the entire H+W Events Team! I guess we’ll have to plan an anniversary party!! TLDR; Do not hesitate to hire this team. It will be the best and smartest decision you make.

    Mrs. Shannonn Simons

    Kawania and her team at Howerton + Wooten made my vision come to life for my wedding April 2022. The planning was thoughtful and very well executed. With her extraordinary creativity, Kawania absolutely elevated my ceremony. I can honestly say, without her expertise, my ceremony and reception would have not been as whimsical and romantic. She thought of all of the little things to take me and my husband’s experience to an entirely different level - she exceeded our expectations!! My guests are still saying it was the best wedding they have ever been attended and that they felt all of the love put into it. As a tough and very particular person, I, 100%, recommend using her wedding planning services if you want the ultimate experience for your wedding! Photos below by Terri Baskin (IG: @terribaskin)

    Seamless, enjoyable and beautifully executed!

    Kawania and her phenomenal team took such amazing care of my Husband and I throughout our entire wedding planning process and beyond. Aside from being incredibly detailed, Kawania especially, quite literally kept us (primarily me - the bride lol) sane during what was a VERY stressful time due to ever-changing covid restrictions. Everyone on Kawania’s team, including herself, always encouraged optimism, handled planning obstacles with complete ease, and executed the most BEAUTIFUL wedding for us.

    Speaking of beautiful…our wedding was truly STUNNING. Of the many things I love about Kay (as I affectionately call her), one attribute that really stands out is her ability to be immensely creative with out of the box thinking. Aside from the “standard” details most wedding have, Kay completely blew us away with the small touches (and some larger - like our photo wall escort card wall; personal favorite!). All of these factors really made our special day not only vibrant but also very unique and very much US!

    If there are any couples out there considering Howerton & Wooten Events to plan their wedding, this is your sign to decide on them!!! You will not be disappointed.

    Kawania and her team captured our love so beautifully. We are forever grateful for the honor of having our day planned and executed by Howerton & Wooten Events.

    Awesome Wedding Planner

    Howerton+Wooten Events assisted with the planning and coordination of my dream wedding. Kawania and her team was nothing short of AMAZING! While I was referred to other wedding planners I knew the moment I met Kawania her company would be the perfect fit. From day one they were attentive, supportive and professional. They were open to my non traditional ideas and went above and beyond to bring my vision to life. Her team had a way of making you feel at peace during what is typically a very stressful day for many brides. They were so organized I woke up the day of my wedding knowing everything was going to be taken care of. All of my guests were blown away by how orderly and professional her team was. The communication, attention detail and care they put into making my day special was evident as my wedding ran so smoothly. If you want to be the bride that actually enjoys her big day with ease look no further! I have full confidence that the Howerton+Wooten Event team will not disappoint.

    Wedding Planning

    Words cannot express how pleased we are about the services we received. We normally do not leave reviews. However, Howerton+Wooten Events was exceptional in every way. Kay was able to understand our vision. Using her expertise, she was able to elevate it and transform it into everything we wanted and more! To say she was a pleasure to work with is an understatement. She is kind and has a warmness about her that makes it very easy to speak with her. As a very busy couple, we trusted her design ideas and felt comfortable allowing her to make decisions for us when needed. We respected her opinion and there was nothing that we second guessed when presented to us. She truly understood us as a couple. Often when couples embark on the journey of wedding planning, they will get bombarded with opinions and suggestions. The first one is if a wedding planner is needed. Again, as a busy couple, we could not have done this without her. Even if we had the time, I guarantee it would not have come out as elegant. In addition, her relationships with vendors made things easier and more economical. However, more important is Kay's ability to manage crisis. Sometimes things may not go as you planned for many reasons. I had a life changing event less than 2 months before our wedding. Kay was there with me the entire time and even after our wedding was complete. The day of the wedding, we had another mini-crisis and Kay stepped in and took care of things. These are characteristics that you want in a wedding planner. Lastly, after looking at other planners, I found Kay's pricing to be reasonable compared to others. She was worth every penny and more! I enthusiastically recommend her services to any bride. I will continue to use her for any future events that I plan.

    Howerton+Wooten Events's reply:

    Thank you so much Tanisha! You are going to have me over here crying! I enjoyed laughing with you all, eating with you all and planning your wedding with you. Thank you for the opportunity to take care of you. Best wishes on a beautiful life! Love and Soul Always, Kawania

    If you are looking for a professional planner with a team of dynamic creative minds to set forth your dream into reality, you need to select Howerton + Wooten Events! Kawania and her team took excellent care of me throughout the entire process. They offer levels of service and the product/bridal consulting I received was definitely worth the value. I truly had piece of mind in knowing every detail was going to be outstanding. If you have seen her on social media or her website, the pictures are a true indication of what she can do! It was alluring to see such beauty from planning the entire event from start to finish and even the alluring visuals of romance in the venue. I am still in awe thinking of all that Kay and her team put into making my wedding a success. I had access with them over the phone, emails, and even through a mobile application! She was my first pick and I interviewed others just to have something to compare and I know I picked a winning team in Howerton + Wooten Events.

    Howerton+Wooten Events's reply:

    Awww! Thank you so much for your sweet review Karen! You are one busy woman, so I want you to know how much I truly appreciate you taking the time to review our services. Your wedding was so pretty, and I will be talking about it for a long time. I LOVED working with you, and laughing with you, and I will miss our calls! PLEASE stay in touch!

    We hired Howerton + Wooten Events for "month of coordination" of our August 2016 wedding in DC. I know Kawania from my job, where she coordinates one of our annual conferences with over 1,000 participants. Seeing her handle the conference year in and year out with such finesse, I just knew she would be able to create order in the chaos that is wedding planning. Kawania and her team kept my husband and I on track with planning and got us through the process. I was on travel for work most of the summer but Kawania was never more than an email or phone call away. The planning software she uses will send daily reminders of tasks that need to be completed--great for Type A people like myself who need checklists.

    Our wedding day went off without a hitch and was most importantly, on schedule. If there were any issues that day, we did not know about them.

    I would highly recommend Howerton + Wooten Events for weddings. They kept my husband and I "in formation" and sane during the entire process.

    Howerton+Wooten Events's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind review Jessica! It was such a pleasure to take care of the two of you and your sweet, sweet wedding! I enjoyed working with you on your wedding day plans, and I definitely loved seeing the two of you enjoy yourself! You deserved it!!

    What We Loved
    We decided to go with Kay because during our initial consultation we found her to be warm and very open and honest. We interviewed several wedding planners, and Kay really made us feel special and that we were not just another number. Kay really went above and beyond during the planning process. We expected her to lean in heavily during the last month, but it really felt like we’d hired a full-time wedding planner. She regularly would email us interesting ideas of design ideas that she would come across. Moreover, she did a lot of extras that were not in her contract, like personally drive to the post office and hand cancelled our wedding invitations. We are also very organized, so we loved that Kay laid out a detailed timeline, helped us refine our budget, and used basecamp to coordinate all the wedding activities and communication.

    What Could Be Improved
    There were a couple of areas that we thought Kay could improve on in the future to be an even better wedding planner. First, we thought that Kay could do a better job of prioritizing the things that we told her were important. For us, that was the seating arrangement and a tent in case we had bad weather. Although Kay was great at sending us outside the box ideas throughout the planning process, we felt that she didn’t put enough focus on the things that we really cared about and in the end, we had to step in and manage those elements ourselves. We also thought that Kay could have done a better job of actively seeking feedback from us, especially since we worked so long together. We shared our feedback with her a few months before our wedding, and she was very open and receptive to it. We also saw her incorporate many of these things into her working style before our wedding day.

    All in all, we had a very positive experience working with Kay and Kay Wooten Events, and would recommend her to plan a wedding or any large-scale event.

    Howerton+Wooten Events's reply:

    Thank you so much Christopher and Scott! I truly enjoyed taking care of you and your wedding. I am exceptionally grateful to you for your candor, and I will use your feedback to ensure that I keep the lines of communication open (at all times) with our couples going forward. Again, thank you. Enjoy the remainder of your first year of marriage -- Time goes by way too fast when you are having fun!

    Howerton + Wooten made what could've been a stressful experience an enjoyable and fun journey. We hired the full planning services and, beginning on day 1, Kay and team were professional and on top of it. We were planning an out of town wedding and the thick of the planning process took place during an extremely busy period at work. Kay, Hana and team took charge and kept us looped in during the entire process. I appreciated the creative suggestions and WebEx presentations to provide me a visual of our selected styles and settings. They have solid vendor relationships and worked to adhere to our budget. We were in great hands and the day came together beautifully. A year later and guests are still talking about the wedding. The entire process was fun for me -- and it was largely because of the amazing team we had supporting our efforts. We also received thoughtful care packages during the planning process, which added such a nice touch. I still keep in touch with Kay and team and would hire them again in a heartbeat. I'd highly recommend any couple consider Howerton + Wooten for their big day. You are guaranteed to be in good hands.

    Howerton+Wooten Events's reply:

    Thank you so much for your generous review! I am truly touched by your kind words. You guys are so sweet, and everyone on our team loved taking care of the two of you. In fact, we were honored. Thank you again loves! We hope to have an opportunity to take care of you (and your future events) again soon!

    Hiring Kay and her team for our "Month Of" coordination was hands down one of the best choices we could have made for our wedding. Right from the very first email, down to the last minute of our wedding, Kay was incredibly responsive, even coming out to meet me at a location close to my office in DC during rush hour on more than one occasion. The Howerton+Wooten team took on a sense of urgency and professionalism during the planning process, ensuring that every day-of detail was taken care of and planned to a T. Though their coordination services were incredibly helpful during the weeks leading up to our wedding, the day-of management was so thorough, with contingency plans ready to go for almost every scenario, that it was absolutely invaluable. Kay ensured that every person participating in the ceremony and reception knew where they were supposed to be and when. Her team's coordination was probably the only reason I was able to actually enjoy my wedding celebration and participate in all of the planned out details. My one regret was not having Howerton+Wooten plan my whole wedding!

    Howerton+Wooten Events's reply:

    Thank you so much Kristie! All of us at Howerton+Wooten Events loved taking care of you and your wedding day details. You all were amazing and so thoughtful -- Such beautiful spirits! And, I truly consider your wedding party to be one of THE most fun group of ladies and gentlemen I have worked with in my entire wedding career. We enjoyed every minute! Thank you again for the opportunity to take care of you and your sweet review! Love & Soul Always, Kay

    We have been through 18 months of truly insane wedding planning, and if it weren't for Kay and the rest of her team, we would have lost our minds a long time ago.

    Throughout all of the difficult times, Kay has been our shining beacon of hope. The value of her services are beyond compare. She has saved us many times over her fees in time, money, and sanity.

    If you are reading this recommendation, please realize that not only is Kay good at her job, but she is truly a good and decent human being too. It's difficult to walk away from this experience without realizing how much we're going to miss having Kay as an advisor, friend, and confidant on a regular basis.

    She has laughed with us. She has cried with us. She has made the impossible happen for us.

    Howerton+Wooten Events's reply:

    I cannot begin to tell you how much your review means to me. I already miss taking care of you guys. We transcended the client/planner relationship a long time ago -- I think it was after our first planning discussion on SKYPE. We were laughing so hard that tears rolled down our faces and my stomach started to ache!
    I consider the both of you to be friends of mine. If you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to think of calling me first. I mean that! Love & Soul Always, Kay

    Kawania with Howerton-Wooten Events deserves 100 stars! Working with Kawania and Howerton-Wooten Events was an absolute pleasure and my wedding day was even more perfect than I could have imagined because of her. Her time and attention to detail is spectacular, and her thoughtfulness and warm heart made planning my wedding a joy and a breeze. Thank you, Kawania!

    Kawania (Kay) is a gem and made us feel worry free on our wedding day. She helped create a vision for our wedding, kept us focused and kept us (especially me) from being overly stressed. Kay was always extremely professional, paid attention to details, and provided great guidelines and task list to how to plan our wedding. Through the process of planning our wedding, she went from just being our planner to being our friend for life. Kay Wooten and her team at Howerton- Wooten Events made our wedding spectacular.

    Thank you for your sweet review Monica! I already miss our SKYPE discussions! I hope that you will consider us again for another one of your gorgeous events. You and Sharrod were a joy to work with over the last year! We need to get together for dinner or something soon. Love & Soul Always, Kay

    On the morning of our wedding, my biggest worry was how much my husband would tear up as he saw me walking toward him down the aisle. Kawania (Kay) and her team at Howerton + Wooten Events helped to plan and execute our day with an immaculate attention to detail and a calm demeanor, ensuring that our guests move flawlessly from ceremony to cocktail reception to dinner. Kay was a trusted advisor, who felt like a family friend. This anxious bride experienced Kay's expertise and passion for what she does come to life in every phone call, email, and vendor meeting. Months later, our loved ones have continued to proclaim that the level of detail, the personal touches, and the amazing reception-turned-party made our wedding one of the most memorable life experiences they've had. The day passed by far too quickly not just for us as bride and groom, but for our attendees. We couldn't have asked for a more fitting day. We will forever cherish memories that the Howerton + Wooten team helped us to create.

    Howerton+Wooten Events's reply:

    Thank you so much Jewel! We loved having Reggie and you as wedding clients! Your special touches definitely set you apart, and we loved your attention to your wedding day details -- You made our job easy. By the way, I will never be able to go to "Dangerously Delicious Pie" without thinking of you guys! Please stay in touch -- It would mean so much to us to keep you in the Howerton+Wooten Events family!

    If you are looking for a wedding planner do yourself a favor and schedule a consult with Kay at Howerton +Wooten Events! I had the unique challenge of planning a Maryland wedding while living in Texas. Even though I signed up for partial planning services, Howerton + Wooten completely exceeded my expectations the entire time. She even sent us care packages with wedding magazines and other treats along the way. She assisted us with setting up meeting with vendors and picking out the vendors and items that would best suit our individual style for our multicultural wedding.
    Leading up to the big day, Kay and her team really saved us by helping with some extra last minute tasks such as gift bags and table settings which was sooo greatly appreciated. Kay was exceptionally kind and patient from start to finish. She even dealt with my ‘momzilla’ in perfect stride on the wedding day. From the initial contact to several months after the wedding, Kay and the staff at Howerton +Wooten have been wonderful. During the process we not only got the best wedding planner ever but also gained a new friend! We look forward to booking Howerton + Wooten for future events!

    Oh Cherese, thank you so much for your kind words! You guys are an amazing couple and I felt proud and honored to be a part of your wedding planning team!
    And, your mom wasn't a "momzilla!" She was hilarious -- she was impressive -- she was a pip! And, I would happily work with her (and you) on 20 more events! Thank you again for your sweet, sweet review -- I look forward to connecting with you again when you come to DC for visits! Love & Soul Always, Kay

    All,

    My husband and I hired Kay for her one month services. I had been planning my wedding for almost 1 1/2 years before we hired Kay. I had to terminate my previous wedding planner. She lost sight of who was actually having the wedding. So, I was a bit skeptical when my husband made the suggestion to hire a wedding planner for the month of the wedding. I am glad he twisted my arm. Kay was absolutely wonderful. She was organized, professional and understood my vision for my wedding. She offered wedding planning advice, constantly stayed in touch and voiced suggestions to assist in bringing my decorating ideas to reality. About a week before the wedding, I learned the company providing my custom linens totally botched up my order. Kay sprung into action and assisted with locating linen that surpassed my expectations in a matter of days. The linen was gorgeous! She is truly a stress reliever and one resourceful individual. I will forever cherish the memories of my wedding day.

    Thank you Shay! Wow! You have no idea how much your sweet words mean to me. Everything about your wedding was amazing -- Especially your design ideas. You have a gift my friend. And you have some of the nicest bridesmaids ever! I would plan your wedding again in a heartbeat! Please stay in touch, and please tell Greg that I said hello! Thanks again! Love & Soul Always, Kay

    My wedding was amazing and not just because at the end of the day I was married to my husband, but undoubtedly because I had Kawania (Kay) Wooten and her team at Howerton-Wooten events to plan and execute our big day. I initially started my wedding planning about a year before my wedding with another wedding planner. Fortunately for me, that wedding planner and I parted ways. I was in a brief panic for one day and then I found Kay. From the first contact, I knew that she was the perfect planner for me. She was knowledgeable, thorough, easy to work with, and had many great ideas to give my wedding ideas that extra special touch. These characteristics carried over through the next six months of planning until the big day. On the day of my wedding, everything went so smoothly and I have been told by many guests how my wedding was the best planned and executed wedding that they have ever been to. My wedding was everything I imagined and more and I am grateful to Kay and her team for making it happen. I don’t intend to ever plan a wedding again, but if I did, Kay would be the planner I would want by my side. Whatever my expectations were for my wedding planner, Kay delivered one hundred times over and above!!

    Howerton+Wooten Events's reply:

    Thank you so much for your sweet words Lindsay. They mean more to me than you will ever know! It was a privilege for us to take care of you and your gorgeous wedding day. I am sure that your wedding guests had a great time because all of your special touches were a perfect extension of your kind personality.

    Again, thank you for the opportunity to be a part of your wedding day. The other wedding planner's loss was our gain!

    Love & Soul Always, Kay

    There are no other words to describe Kay and Howerton and Wooten events team other than perfection! My husband and I could not have imagined a better wedding. It was absolutely spectacular and actually the wedding of our dreams. To this day we are still receiving phone calls, texts, and emails from our family stating that it was the best wedding that they have ever attended and we owe it all to Kay. Although I am clearly bias, I would have to agree with them. In addition, to my wedding, Kay also planned my bridal shower, which again was sheer perfection! She is simply amazing.

    Kay truly exceeded our expectations. She is kind, professional, considerate, knowledgeable, patient and extremely creative. She was there with us every step of the way for our wedding planning including having meeting about our plans and progress, referring fabulous venders, going to vendor appointments, going to dress fitting, unlimited phone calls, emails, communication with all the vendors, timelines for vendors and the entire wedding party, endless support when the stress of the wedding got to me, rehearsal, and on and on. I say this to say that she truly goes above and beyond, which has meant so much to us.

    We honestly feel so blessed and honored to have Kay be our wedding planner. To be honest, the title wedding planner doesn’t do her justice, because she became more than that. She became a special part of our family. So if you haven’t picked up on it yet, no one should ever hesitate to hire Kay. It really doesn’t get better than this. She is simply amazing!

    Howerton+Wooten Events's reply:

    Your kind words literally brought tears to my eyes! Thank you! We loved working with you (and not just because you loved all of our ideas!) Thank you again! It was our pleasure to take care of Reggie, you and your gorgeous wedding. Love & Soul Always, Kay

    My mom and I found Kawania Wooten (Kay) of Howerton-Wooten Events on the Knot. From the beginning, Kay was extremely professional and stood head and shoulders above the other planners we interviewed. We hired her after booking the venue and I wish we’d waited to get her input because she probably would’ve saved us money in the long run by going with a smaller hotel. Kay came to the table with a long list of recommended professionals, and all of the vendors she recommended were excellent.

    Kay was great to work with; she’s friendly and easy going, which made it easy to discuss choices with her. She is professional and able to quickly assess what we wanted based on her many years of experience. She was ready and able to solve most all our problems, but also ready to bring different views and approaches to the discussion in order to find a good solution. Her recommendations for lighting and décor were very high style; I’d trust her and her team with any of my events.

    Awww Kim! Thank you so much for your incredibly sweet review. We enjoyed taking care of your wedding and I pray we have an opportunity to take care of you again soon! Love & Soul Always, Kay

    Kawania did an excellent job at our wedding! We hired her as our month of coordinator. Kawania and her team went above and beyond to make our event a very special one. She kept in touch with us throughout the process and let us know if she was going to be away or unavailable. They have many resources we were able to use as well. For instance, if you didn't like one of the makeup artists, she has many more for you to call and try. She was also able to help us stay within our budget when selecting the additional vendors we needed. Kawania also has many wonderful and unique ideas. She helped us decorate our sweetheart table, which we thought of having last minute. On the day of, her and her team made sure that we got some of our hors d'oeuvre to eat and kept everything running smoothly. Even with last minute changes, they were able to help accommodate them and make things happen. At the end of the night, she helped make sure that all the things we wanted were collected and got back to us. She definitely made our day one to remember!

    Howerton+Wooten Events did an amazing job!!!!!!
    We couldn't have asked for anything more perfect. They were very attentive to all our needs. The ceremony and reception was set up exactly how we had envisioned on paper and in our minds. They really made us feel relaxed and made us feel they had everything under control. We would not change anything if we had the chance. We were extremely happy with everything they offered. We would definitely recommend them to any bride.
    Thank you Howerton+Wooten Events!!!! You made our day extremely special and you will never br forgotten :) :) :) :)
