Customer Testimonials

Yolanda and her wedding planning team are truly the best! From start to finish I could not have asked for a more dedicated visionary working to make everything happen. It was truly a magical day. From the details to the design and execution were all beyond my expectations. All the effort she put in to make the event the best possible was worth every penny!

Willie and Jaeda Ward

HowGrande Travel & Events, LLC did a wonderful job planning our 25th-anniversary getaway to Aruba. They coached us on the particulars on traveling amidst covid restrictions and guidelines, sent reminders on timelines for check in’s and resolved issues, and addressed concerns as needed. The resort was everything they said it would be. A very enjoyable vacation!!!!!!!

Mrs. Yolanda Howell! Was phenomenal! We started planning our wedding March 2020 & at the end our wedding July 3, 2021, we couldn’t have been more pleased & thankful to have Mrs. Howell’s expertise of planning & coordinating our special day. She was very clear & concise! Patient & understanding! Very organized & provided great ideas from her years of experience! Again we couldn’t have asked for more. A highlight of her planning skills that stood out to us was her constant reminders of this being our special day. This really helped with so many outside influences during the planning process. It was key for my wife & I to stay locked in and to keep some of our plans private with Mrs. Howell. With that being said everything worked out great! We met our goal of underpromising yet over delivering the best wedding as possible! Outstanding job Mrs. Yolanda Howell! We love you & couldn’t be more thankful!
