Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“My wife and I decided to use Cossie to plan our wedding about six months ago after quickly finding out managing both our mothers would be too much for my wife to handle. Cossie was great! Her attitude never wavered, even though, at times, it was like we had three queens ruling the empire. Cossie got things straightened out fast and brought great ideas to the table. This saved me the most heartache and allowed me more time for things I actually had an interest in. The wedding went great with Cossie handling everything for us. I’ve already given her name to my friends. Pick her; you won’t regret it.” – Doug J.

Not Your Average Event Planning Company

We sat down with Cossie Crosswhite, the owner of 1 Elegant Event Wedding & Event Planning, to learn a bit more about who they are, what makes them different and how they managed to build such a powerful online reputation.

The first thing we asked Cossie was what sets 1 Elegant Event apart from the many other event planners in Virginia. Here’s what she had to say:

“What we do is to make everyone else have fun to ensure that the event goes as well as possible and looks as seamless as possible.”

We asked Cossie why they do what they do at 1 Elegant Event and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s her response:

“We are geared mainly towards weddings. Every couple deserves to have a great wedding and a wonderful celebration. It does not matter how much the client spends; every couple should walk away with the happiest memory that lasts forever.”

Building Success Through by Giving Back

When asked about 1 Elegant Event’s secret to such a strong online reputation, Cossie shared this with us:

“We do a lot of events, and it is always a positive thing when we receive a review. We do video testimonials after the events to bolster our brand.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, 1 Elegant Event has gotten their name out there by doing a lot of free events, including helping to plan events for two to three charities per year, and through their membership with the Association of Bridal Consultants. They also do a number of engagement parties and events at the library in order to get couples started on the right foot.

There are many other business owners out there looking to grow their business and build their online reputation. Here’s Cossie’s expert advice for those business owners:

“Stay on top of your social presence today. Post every day. Engage with your community online. Don’t just focus on the business; post interesting things every day.”
