Find Your Level of Care

THE ROOM SHOULD
TELL PIECES OF YOUR STORY
WITHOUT NEEDING TO EXPLAIN ITSELF.

Before the first toast, before the room settles into the night,
we want your people to feel the care behind it.

The candlelight. The color. The texture.
The music that feels familiar in the best way.
The family pieces, tiny references, and details only your people would catch.

For the details they notice, the story they feel, and a night remembered.

THE ROOM SHOULD
TELL PIECES
OF YOUR STORY
WITHOUT NEEDING TO
EXPLAIN ITSELF.

We believe a wedding should feel like a little world your guests get to step inside for the night. The room should tell pieces of your story through candlelight, color, music, flowers, family pieces, and tiny references your people recognize as the night unfolds.

We want couples to feel supported and free to celebrate in a way that feels true to them.

Words held with care

Love notes.

A few words from the people who have trusted Howie Mae to hold the details, the room, and the feeling of the day.

Reading the room

“Krystal has such a gift for reading the room. On my wedding day, while I was getting ready, she noticed that a family member was pushing my limits before anyone else seemed to realize I was overwhelmed. She handled the situation so discreetly and calmly, finding a way to give me the peace I needed without creating any tension. I was so incredibly grateful for her presence in that moment.”

WE WANT YOUR
PEOPLE TO FEEL
woven INTO THE
NIGHT.


Some guests will tear up the dance floor, laugh loudly, and stay out all night. Some will sit back, watch, smile, and feel part of it in a quieter way.

Both should feel welcomed. Both should feel considered. Both should feel like the room was made with the people you love in mind.

The timeline.
The vendor communication.
The layout.
The setup notes.
The quiet decisions.
The guest flow.

All the pieces held in place so the room can feel effortless.

AND BEHIND THAT FEELING IS A PLAN.

Questions Before We Gather

A few helpful notes about the Howie Mae approach, where we work, and how to begin.

What does boutique wedding planning mean at Howie Mae?

Boutique means personal, intentional, and carefully held. Howie Mae takes on a thoughtful number of celebrations so each couple receives clear communication, creative care, and a planning experience that feels tailored rather than copied and pasted.

The goal is not to make every wedding look the same. The goal is to help the room, the flow, and the details feel like they belong to you and the people you love.

Where does Howie Mae plan weddings?

Howie Mae is based in Kentucky and serves couples throughout Kentucky, Tennessee, and wherever your people gather.

We often work with couples planning in Lexington, Louisville, Nashville, and surrounding areas, with select travel available for celebrations that feel aligned with the Howie Mae approach.

What if we are not sure which planning experience fits?

You do not need to know before reaching out. Tell us what you know so far, where you are in the process, and how supported you want to feel between now and the wedding day.

From there, we can help you understand whether The Hearth, The Lantern, or The Key makes the most sense for your celebration.

Whether you are dreaming of old world warmth, playful color, meaningful details, or a celebration that simply feels warm and personal, Howie Mae would be honored to help bring the pieces together with clarity, care, and a steady plan.
