TCC Productions

5.0

Bowie, MD

Welcome to our page! I'm Maurice AKA The Covenant Child, and I'm the founder and lead DJ here at TCC Productions. Since 2010, we've been rocking events across DC / Maryland / Virginia and beyond. We’ve been fortunate to DJ at company parties, live concerts, private house parties, and more. But weddings are particularly dear to us. It’s always an honor to join couples in their celebration of love. We would love to be a part of your celebration as well!

“TCC Productions was absolutely incredible for our wedding! Working with Maurice was a true pleasure, his communication was thoughtful and consistent, and he took the time to collaborate with us to curate the perfect soundtrack for our special day. He’s incredibly talented and met every request with professionalism and enthusiasm. One thing that really stood out was his flexibility. Even when we had to make last-minute schedule changes, Maurice adapted with ease, something that’s no small feat for a DJ with a planned set. He even surprised us by playing a song that held deep meaning for my husband and me. It was an unexpected and beautiful moment that made the day even more unforgettable. I can’t recommend Maurice highly enough. He went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect. He’s not just a great DJ, he’s truly exceptional.”

Imagine a wedding that truly reflects your unique love story and personality. At Howerton+Wooten Events, we are dedicated to making that vision a reality. Our experienced team takes the time to understand your essence and energy as a couple, forming meaningful connections that reveal who you are, how you live, and how you love. With this deep understanding, we design stunning wedding experiences that are vivid, personal reflections of your lifestyle, taste, and journey together. The result is a wedding you will cherish for a lifetime, a beautiful celebration that is unmistakably and uniquely yours.

“Words cannot define the worth and joy it was to have Kawania and her team be a part of my wedding day. She was a constant advocate for our needs and budget throughout the process, being realistic at every turn. 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 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. 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 set up meetings with me and my vendors one-on-one and 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. 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!”

“I wasn't fully sure what to expect working with Poppy, but I was truly so happy with how everything came together! It's definitely a more hands-off experience, which was great for me, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend to brides that are super particular about their flowers. I had a great experience with my floral consultant Adrienne. She really took my wants and budget into consideration and was extremely helpful in picking out the designs that best matched my vision. On the day-of, I didn't have to worry at all about the floral delivery or setup - they handled it completely with my wedding venue coordinator. This was great and took a lot of stress off my plate. The flowers themselves were STUNNING and so far beyond my expectations. Fantastic price too, especially as our wedding was on an island and involved more logistical challenges than some venues might. :)”

The Coordinated Collective

5.0

Planner
Offers 2 services
Starts at $2,200
Serves Bowie, MD

Working out of Arlington, VA, the Coordinated Collective provides day-of coordination for couples who have otherwise organized their own wedding. Aiding couples in the District of Columbia, Eastern Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, the women of this company have a wealth of knowledge and experience organizing weddings in all sorts of venues and design. Owned by Ja’el Mendez, this team of experts brings the final touch needed to make sure you get hitched without a glitch! The initial planning is done by the clients, meaning that couples choose their own vendors and have the freedom to design their own wedding.

“Hiring The Coordinated Collective was by far the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. Every single person we interacted with was incredible, starting with Ja’el the owner, who was amazing from start to finish. She is warm, organized, thoughtful, and we felt see was genuinely invested in us. From our first conversation, we knew we were in great hands. Our day-of coordinators, Liz and Blair, were absolute stars. They just got us. Throughout the planning process, they provided steady guidance, answered every question, and—when we had concerns about potential issues with other vendors—gave us thoughtful, grounded advice and real encouragement. As we approached the wedding, Liz and Blair stepped in to manage the scheduling of the countless moving parts of our wedding day. They helped address issues before they became problems, and resolved most problems before they became crises. Their communication and stress management were unparalleled. They kept us informed whenever we needed to know something and shielded us from anything we didn’t need to be bothered with. I referred back to Blair’s meticulously documented recap emails from our planning meetings so many times during planning - no idea how anything would have gotten done without those! We always felt like they were firmly on our team. Their presence throughout those final weeks kept us calm and confident… despite the best attempts of some of our vendors and family! And then the wedding day itself… flawless. Truly flawless. They executed the day with precision, grace, and warmth. They handled countless details behind the scenes so seamlessly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our big day. At one point during dinner, I (the bride) leaned over to my mom to ask if she had floss because I had food stuck in my teeth, and before I could finish my sentence, Liz promptly whisked me away to a back room where I found myself suddenly in front of a mirror with a toothpick in hand! The level of support and preparation during the pre-wedding stages was above and beyond what we ever expected. Our families and friends are still raving about how fantastic they were on the day-of. We also decided to add on content creation with Teri late in the process, and we are SO glad we did. She was amazing—funny, kind, unobtrusive, and everywhere at once without ever feeling like a camera was in our faces. A couple of days after the wedding, we received our raw video dump, and it is worth every single penny. I’ve spent hours reliving the day through all the behind-the-scenes moments she captured with our guests, family, and wedding party. She didn’t miss a thing. We can’t wait to see the short-form content she creates, but honestly, the raw footage alone already exceeded our hopes. We are genuinely obsessed with this team. The Coordinated Collective is thoughtful, professional, communicative, creative, and deeply committed to making your wedding experience exceptional from beginning to end. If you’re considering hiring them, don’t hesitate for a second. They were truly the best decision we made, and we are endlessly grateful.”

Ivy & Quartz Photography

Photographer
Photojournalistic style
Starts at $3,850
Serves Bowie, MD

Hi! I'm Nina and I run Ivy & Quartz photography! I shot my first wedding in 2013, but my journey with photography began long before that. When I was about 10 years old, my dad gave me a camera and I quickly became obsessed. My intrigue continued to grow over the years and I went on to earn my BA in Studio Art , Photography, from the University of Virginia. After graduating I worked as a portrait photographer and decided to pursue and earn my MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

“After friends shared a photo of my then fiance and me at their own wedding, we hired the photographer who took it. This was Nina! That one photo inspired us to review the gallery of their entire wedding and then her portfolio and we were blown away. 7 months later our own wedding day arrived. My husband and I are the type of people who are wildly present and constantly forget to take photographs of our life together. We knew we wanted to capture this day without the photography becoming a chore or hindering our ability to do what we do best and enjoy our time. Nina was able to provide just that and was incredible (as was the second photographer she worked with for our big day). Nina seamlessly handled all the chaotic moments and pre-ceremony stress of the very emotional bride (me) in stride! With very little direction she navigated all aspects of a wedding day with absolute poise and grace. I cannot thank her enough for taking on such leadership and just GETTING IT DONE! Nina captured all the big and tiny pieces that go into a wedding and I felt her photo choices, angles, and poses perfectly captured the essence of me and my husband's personalities. At every avenue Nina was a professional, personable, and I never expected I could be so satisfied with a collection of photographs. THANK YOU SO MUCH NINA.”

14 years ago, Kara was planning a wedding with the help of her mom Susie, and they were searching for a one-stop, experienced and credible makeup and hair team that could meet their needs. There was NO such thing! So we created the solution for the everyday busy modern woman…our award-winning Dream Team! Need skin, makeup, hair, or Men’s Grooming? Large, diverse party? No problem! Our perspective is unique… we were in your shoes, so we created a stress-free, full-service luxury experience for everyone.

“We had a wonderful experience working with Best Face Forward for our wedding day makeup and hair styling. Kara was extremely prompt and informative during the planning process, making it simple to coordinate schedules and share inspiration photos. On the big day, Gina did an exceptional job listening to what we envisioned and making helpful recommendations to enhance our look. She was a true professional, and made adjustments based on feedback to ensure we felt confident and beautiful. The entire team brought out the best version of ourselves, helping us feel relaxed and radiant on our special day. We'd highly recommend their services to any bride looking for skilled artists who deliver exceptional work and thoughtful communication.”
