The Manor 1858 is the newest luxury event venue in Loudoun County, and I was eager to see what it had to offer. Initially, I had my reservations about the distance—a 90-minute drive from Bowie, Maryland can feel like quite the trek. But the moment I arrived, I knew the journey had been more than worth it.

At Howerton+Wooten Events, corporate event planning is at the heart of what our professional event planners do. From board meetings or executive committee meetings to large-scale workshops, we design experiences that foster creativity, engagement, and meaningful connections.

Nestled in Maryland’s scenic beauty, the historic Black Walnut Point Inn provides a backdrop that feels like it’s straight out of a fairytale. The gardens and the surroundings create an ambiance that is both romantic and tranquil, making it the ideal location for your special day — especially your wedding ceremony.

When your wedding has the most gorgeous flowers, created by the talented team at Sarah Khan Event Styling and Design, you step back to soak it all in. The colors of these gorgeous blooms felt so rich that they looked like silk.

Thank you so much to the editors at ”Washingtonian Weddings” Magazine for bestowing Howerton+Wooten Events with the “Editor’s Pick” honor for the best Wedding Event Planners and Designers in the Washington DC metropolitan area!

Vanessa and Raquese’s love for each other has always been bold, even as teenagers. Thirteen years later, their youthful love has grown into a lovely family of four, and Vanessa and Raquese decided it was time to celebrate their love and dedication by exchanging wedding vows at the Bellevue Conference and Event Center in Ashburn, Virginia

Last month, I had the ultimate pleasure of attending a head table luncheon at the DC hotspot Dauphine’s — This luncheon was even more special because it was an exclusive episode of the GatherGeeks podcast, hosted by the one and only BizBash chairman and founder David Adler

Tomorrow, I will be at the Conrad Hotel in Washington DC for the Modern Luxury DC Magazine’s “Dynamic Women’s” luncheon. (Not as the event planner, but as a dynamic woman! Woot! Woot!)

Today, we are showing some wedding day love for one of the sweetest couples, Ali and Scott. Their Autumn wedding took place at the Meridian House in Washington DC.
