My mom and I found Kawania Wooten (Kay) of Howerton-Wooten Events on the Knot. From the beginning,…read moreKay 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.

If you are looking for a wedding planner do yourself a favor and schedule a consult with Kay at…read moreHowerton +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!

My daughters party turned out perfect, started on time, and went off without a hitch all thanks to these ladies.

We hired this company to take the load off because of because of time and health challenges we are having. Angie made it worse and was no help! Angie is lazy, dishonest, lacks creativity, and overall interest in bringing your vision to life. This is the exact opposite of what you want for an event planner. We hired her for my sisters 40th birthday party. She was pleasant and accommodating until she got our money. She was supposed to find vendors like caterer, dj, 360 video, photographer, etc. Every single person she referred us to were overpriced, had no reviews/photos and/or lacked experience. She was trying to force us to work with her overpriced unqualified friends. My sisters fiancé wanted the oversized number 40 for my sister. The 4-6 feet ones. We got there and they were about 1.5 feet and sitting on a table. We paid her for an additional 15 place settings we get to the event and there was not enough seats. People had to stand. We asked her for a monogram light for the wall. She sent us a design with flowers that I knew my sister would not like. I asked her for other options... she said thats all she had and there was no time to do anything else. We contacted a local printer who did these lights and had it in 24 hours. Angie never even showed up. Her workers did and they were left to figure things out. She was supposed to do a nice digital invitation and manage guests. She created a bland free evite. We had to pay to do a green envelope invite and managed guests ourselves. Our food table was also not set up. THERE IS EVEN MORE but I think you get the point. Her attitude is disgusting and the experience was a nightmare. I hope this review saves someone else from having their event ruined by this company. I really wished that I saw the reviews on other sites before I hired her.
