7 months agoWe honestly can’t give enough accolades to Howerton+Wotten Events. Our wedding in November 2024 was amazingly beautiful, and even after several months later, our guests are still talking about it. Howerton+Wooten collaborated with the perfect vendors to make our wedding forever memorable. LaShonda and Kawania’s patience was immeasurable and their kindness was noteworthy while displaying dedication, professionalism and unmatched expertise. We are beyond grateful to have had an enjoyable experience. Looking for to an event planner that checks all the blocks, look no further, hands down, it’s Howerton+Wooten! Troy and Kortnie

12 months agoKawania LaShonda and the entire Howerton and Wooten team made our experience truly wonderful and memorable. Throughout the year, we met regularly, and they were always flexible with their scheduling. Their selection of vendors provided us with top-quality and professional service. We felt genuinely cared for and supported every step of the way. The next time we need an event planner, Howerton and Wooten will be the first company we call.

12 months agoWe cannot recommend Howerton+Wooten Events highly enough! From the moment we first contacted them, the entire team went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for our vision stood out from the very beginning. Kawania & Lashonda were incredible to work with. They took the time to understand our preferences and style, offering creative ideas and thoughtful solutions every step of the way. No matter how many questions we had (and we had plenty!), they were always patient, kind, and quick to respond. On the wedding day, K, Lashonda & Marlo worked so hard to make sure everything ran so smoothly that we were able to fully enjoy the moment without a single worry. The decor, timeline, vendor coordination EVERYTHING was executed flawlessly, and it was clear how much effort had gone into every detail. One of the things we appreciated most was their ability to balance professionalism with a warm, personal touch. They made us feel like we were the only couple they were working with, even though we know they must have been juggling other events. If you’re looking for a team that will make your dream wedding a reality, look no further than Howerton+Wooten Events. They exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are so grateful for their dedication and expertise. Thank you, for giving us the best day of our lives!

a year agoWords cannot define the worth and joy it was to have Kawania and her team be a part of my wedding day. We started working together about a year before the event. She was a constant advocate for our needs and budget throughout the process, being realistic at every turn. I did not appreciate her team talents until I went to other weddings where they were not so blessed to have Kawania as a team member and wedding planner. What I know now is that what you get with Kawania is experience and know-how of the industry. She has planned several weddings and events before and knows how to troubleshoot mishaps that may happen on the wedding day in real time. She also understands that the day of the event is a special moment for everyone involved and she knows not to bring stress to the wedding party and to allow them to live in the moment. At subsequent weddings, I have felt that my friends needed this approach with their planners on their wedding day/weekend. I, being their guest or in their bridal party felt the disorganization that their planners or self-planning brought. This was not the case with Kawania. We had glowing comments about our wedding day for even a year after and how it was not just a ceremony but a day of entertainment. I also appreciate that the team at Howerton/Wooten Events rose to the challenge of dealing with a culture that was not her own and thrived. She should be trusted with any wedding from West African nations. She is an excellent communicator. We had regular meetings throughout the year, about once a week. I have seen my friends have wedding planners who do not get back to them for several days after they have a question about their wedding. Kawania brought my vendors to me instead of me having to look for vendors on my own and when one did not work she always had another one that could take the place. She even set up meetings with me and my vendors one-on-one so that I would feel comfortable with them before signing the contracts. Additionally, since she is so experienced at event planning reviewed all of our vendor contracts to make sure that we were getting a fair contract and that expectations for the vendor and for us were both reasonable and what we were looking for. She suggested more than a few amendments too! Being a very busy working professional I appreciated that Kawania went above and beyond to make sure that I stayed on the schedule and was extremely patient when there were moments when I could not. I value how she brought my vision to life and had such great attention to small details that my day was exceptional. I have seen my guests feature elements of my wedding at their subsequent events and it speaks to how she was able to set the bar high for what a classy and unique event should be. Far beyond a wedding planner, she has become someone that I keep in contact with after the wedding. She even checked in on me when there was a major catastrophic event that took place in the area where I lived months after the wedding. There were even moments when I became uncertain or stressed and focused on the wrong thing when it came to my wedding. Kawania, quite like a mother figure helped me realize what my focus should be and to ignore all other distractions so that when I walked down the aisle, I was in full confidence of how the day was going to be and did not feel a single ounce of stress on my wedding day. I could not be more thrilled to work with Kawania again. Although I do not see myself getting remarried I would certainly work with her for any big event I needed in the future. She has such a positive energy and global about her and brings a light to every interaction even difficult ones that makes her pleasant, respectable, dependable, and all around the absolute reason why my big day went off such success. I cannot state how tirelessly she and her team worked so when I did meet them in person but felt like I was meeting friends who knew exactly what I wanted. You will not regret working with Kawania and Howerton + Wooten events!
