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.

Kawania is a true joy to work with and is a great resource of information. She prides herself in knowing the bridal industry and is very detailed oriented. She has referred several of her brides to our brand director, who is a former makeup artist. Kawania also hired her to take her wonder head shots. It has been a pleasure working with her and we look forward to connecting again in the future.
