Sazi is a very nice person but should NOT be in event planning. Allow me to explain…read more Initially we hired her as our partial wedding coordinator (because we had already done a lot of planning prior to meeting her) and our ceremony decorator. During the first 5-6 months, we continued planning. After awhile we noticed that although we had been paying Sazi regularly, she had not participated in the planning at all. And it was hard to reach her. It took her a long time to respond to phone calls and emails. When we set up face to face meetings, she was usually late or had unusual excuses of why she could not show up. This scared us to death!! How can we trust her with something as precious as our wedding date when she was been this negligent with our other needs? This is why we decided to end the planning part of her job. She agreed and we were able to move forward. But we still needed the decorations that we had spent hours discussing with her. It took her forever to draw up a new contract. And because she is not a timely person, we didn't trust her to deliver the decorations the day of the wedding. And thank God we didn't. The day we went to go pick up the supplies we found out that the company she worked for Event Central had fired her. And she did not have all of the decorations that were listed on our invoice. It is only by the grace of God and a lot of work on my mom and my mother-in-laws behalf that this wedding was not a complete disaster. Overall Sazi is nice, but because she is disorganized, unprofessional, has poor communication skills and is not forthcoming with valuable information she is in the wrong line of work.

Ms. Brooks had several months to have flowers ready for the wedding; however, did not provide flowers on the wedding day and caused an extensive delay to the start of the wedding. She overbooks, is hard to get in touch with, and unprofessional. She severely lacks attention to detail, which would be expected in her line of work. I highly suggest you look elsewhere and avoid Event Central, where she currently rents space. DO NOT RECOMMEND!! Search online and look at other reviews.

We had problems with wind all day and right before walking down the aisle is rained for a few minutes. Sandy handled everything perfectly and I was still able to get married outside. I am going to miss working with Sandy but we will keep in touch. She not only was my coordinator but became a great friend.

Premier Events had events had casino game tables set up in the VIP section of this event. They had grabs, roulette, and my favorite blackjack! which is where I spent most of my day. What a phenomenal idea. The best part is you're not spending your own money which makes it even better. Our dealer ( dang forgot his name) was very friendly, fun and personable very engaging. This would make a great idea for a birthday party a fundraising event, New Years Party, even a family reunion. What a fun night you could have with this I wish I knew more people so I could host an event and hire them. If you decide to hire them or if they end up having a fundraising event that you hear of, please come back and let me know because I would love to attend another event where they have casino tables. This would've been perfect to have some sort of giveaways for the person with the most chips at the end of the night like a little gift bag , a free casino table for an hour, or some sort of Premier Event Coupon or some sort of door prize from your vendor would've been perfect just to make it fun and interesting . So if you're ever looking or planning on hosting an event I would highly recommend you contact Premier Events I'm positive. They could help you with an event and it will be very memorable. I had so much fun that if you're looking for a blackjack dealer for an event and that's something I can do on the side. I would definitely consider doing this. That's how much fun I had. Don't forget notify me if you have a public event I would love to attend.

And just expect to pick something you like and colors the day you book, and she will set everything up to make your dream come true. If you want a hand in things or to get a pre-look at everything, don't do it here. They want to have free rein. The building is not wheelchair accessible. One of the bridesmaids was in a wheelchair and had to me lifted into the venue in her dress. There is no where to take pictures of the bridal party or families as it is in the middle of a block with a big parking lot in front of it. Severely overpriced. The kids booked the venue for their wedding in April 2024. They were sent a "Proposal Contract" but never an actual Contract. This concerned us from the start. So, they paid their 50% deposit and started working on other things. One huge thing that they should have been told was that it was Hampton University's homecoming, and the parade makes a U around the venue. Being a professional and knowing something that big happening should have been told to them. Their photographer and videographer barely made it before the ceremony started. They go no pre wedding photos. In the meantime, in August, I contacted Betty to get some referrals for catering, which she never sent to me. Even though she told our planner she did. As the days came closer and we were getting down to less than a week, my daughter was informed that it would take them about an hour to change the room over for the dinner settings. What do you do with 80 people when the majority of the space is being changed over. They suggested horderves. I spent another $600 unbudgeted money for extras. Had this been said in April we could have handled it a different way. Three days before the wedding I started looking at their social media accounts and noticed no cups or utensils in the settings. I called to ask. First, I was told that the caterer was taking care of it. My daughter had already told her it was a themed buffet and the caterers just deliver. She then changed it to they are having "unconventional" catering they would put out plastic items. So, three days before the wedding, I had to start rush ordering the food items needed. Another thing not budgeted. Again, why are they not paying attention or even writing down conversations. My daughter also asked for the dancing area to be in the center of the room. She was told they didn't really do it that way. She cried to me about it. I gave my concerns to our planner, and she called Betty, the conversation was far from professional. At one point our planner said "we can speak to each other civilly" she said she had told my daughter she would do the dance floor, which was a lie. She asked to see a setup of the tables then was hung up on . Within minutes, Betty was on the phone with my daughter's new husband about how they didn't trust her and she was not speaking to our planner. And that they saw the tables in April. This added so much stress they didn't need. Who remembers then?!? The next day they suddenly had a video "walk through" of the tables. The kids said she was just rude the whole time. But they didn't want to lose their $3500 deposit. I wish we had just lost it. She didn't hire a florist and put the bouquets together herself. My daughter had asked for a cascading bouquet, but it was round. And very fake looking. We are all really trying to figure out where the $7500 worth of things were. The kids did have a great day. Bur when you pay that amount of money for a venue, you expect much more professionalism and more for that amount of money.

Since the owner of this business wants to deem real reviews from guests at her events as…read more"unhelpful", here's a review from a bride who worked with Cossie and her "company." I had the "pleasure" of having Cossie as my wedding planner for my wedding that took place on 7/13/24 at the Founders Inn in Virginia Beach. The venue itself was GORGEOUS and the food was amazing thanks to Laura Shendelmen, the Client Services staff and the Food&Beverage staff. Operationally, however, my wedding was an ABSOLUTE DISASTER. Mrs. Crosswhite does nothing but throw a binder full of card stock and deadlines at you. She'll surely show up to your cake and food tastings to eat the food though (she won't take a single note, mind you), she will also LEAVE YOUR EVENT TO ATTEND ANOTHER ONE. She will also have her husband come to the event even thought he was not invited nor did she ask if he could attend and will have him play bouncer and will take absolutely no accountability when you bring issues to her attention. My sister purchased a gorgeous monogrammed aisle runner that was unfortunately never used because Cossie was not there to roll it out as she stated she would be because she had left my wedding to attend another one she found more important. My rehearsal dinner was also a disaster, as she did not book the practice space like she was supposed to, so we were unable to practice appropriately with the DJ and because of this, I was not able to walk down the aisle to my song of choice. There were also not enough chairs at the head table so my wedding party was unable to sit comfortably after walking into the reception area. Instead of being able to relax and relish in my wedding day, my mother in law and I were instead running around trying to ensure last minute accommodations were being met, which is what Cossie is being paid to do. There were so many errors that guests were bringing things to my attention as well. The experience I had with this business was lackluster and less than professional, and when our family brought these issues to Cossie's attention, she lacked accountability and shifted blame to Laura Shendelman, who in fact saved the day. I say all this to say, if you're looking for a stress free wedding planning experience, run far away from 1 Elegant Event.
