The Penny Pincher Planner 

5.0

Kinston, NC
  • Offers 1 service
  • Starts at $2,200

Hi, I'm Crystal! Owner and lead planner of The Penny Pincher Planner. I found my love for weddings and events while pursuing a degree in Hospitality Management at East Carolina University (Arghh!) Upon graduating, I pursued a career as a wedding venue coordinator/ planner, where I was fortunate to build lasting relationships with amazing couples and talented vendors. When planning my wedding, I found it challenging to find ways to achieve the high-end look I envisioned within my budget. During this journey, I came to realize that I want to help other couples achieve this goal for their special day.

We were thrilled with our experience working with The Penny Pincher Planner. Their attentive communication style and caring approach put us at ease through the entire wedding planning process. They were fabulously efficient at creating a detailed schedule for our big day and worked seamlessly with our other vendors. We appreciated their thoughtful suggestions - they made our wedding exactly what we envisioned. On the wedding day itself, The Penny Pincher Planner coordinated everything smoothly. We didn't have to worry about a thing! Having their assistance with both the planning and day-of coordination was invaluable and worth every penny. We're so grateful to them for helping our wedding go off without a hitch.

With over 20 years in the event industry, I thrive as a day-of wedding coordinator, passionately bringing brides' visions to life. I excel in the dynamic energy of wedding days, maintaining composure under pressure and adeptly problem-solving. Whether orchestrating intimate gatherings of 30 or grand celebrations with 2,000 guests, my inherent organizational skills and impeccable time management shine. Beyond weddings, my diverse experience includes managing a popcorn business and coordinating orthodontic conferences, all driven by my core purpose of uniting people through memorable events.

Butterfly Event Productions was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication throughout the planning process was excellent - they were always responsive, attentive to our needs, and provided great advice and guidance. On the day of the event, their team, led by the incredible Chelsea, worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life in a way that exceeded our expectations. Chelsea took all of our ideas for the decor and event details and elevated them in ways we couldn't have imagined. She ensured the entire day ran smoothly and seamlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy the celebration without any stress. Butterfly Event Productions' hard work and dedication truly made our wedding day perfect, and we are so grateful for their incredible service.

Proudly serving Colorado, North Carolina, and wherever you might be! The number one thing I tell clients is that something WILL go wrong on your wedding day, but I'm there to limit the chaos with backup plans. Why hiring me is the best decision for your special day: 1. I'm awesome and fun. 2. I'm good at details and bossing people around (in a nice way). Your vendors, bridal party, and family will know exactly where to be and when. 3. I am 100% team couple. I'm going to have your back and do what YOU want on your special day.​

I was in so impressed by how incredibly communicative, talented and sweet Melissa was! She went out of her way to put my umbrella where it was accessible when it rained and as a photographer with very expensive gear this was such a thoughtful gesture. She was so on top of things and communicative through out the whole day. One of the best planners I've ever worked with and I've worked 100 weddings. She will go great places!

Kristen Caputo Weddings & Events is a wedding planning service that curates elevated events for memories that will last a lifetime! We offer everything from full-service planning packages to wedding coordination packages.

I cannot recommend Kristen Caputo Weddings & Events highly enough! My husband and I had a beach wedding last month and I was trying to handle everything myself, until I realized just how overwhelmed I was. Kristen had great reviews and after reaching out, I thought she had very fair prices for her services. I hired her to be my coordinator and I’m SO thankful I did! After every planning call with her, I would feel like a weight was lifted. She always had such helpful input throughout our calls and there are SO many things I would have overlooked without her there to guide me. On the big day Kristen and her Assistant Megan were AMAZING! I really thought I was going to spend the day worrying about if things were being set up the way I wanted them. On the actual day I wasn’t worried at all, by that point I had so much confidence in Kristen I knew she’d make it happen! And she did! My wedding was set up exactly how I wanted it and everything flowed so nicely! Megan waited with my dad and I before walking down the aisle and she was a lifesaver! She held all my things and helped me stay calm! Our ceremony turned out beautifully. I couldn’t believe how pretty it looked when I got to the aisle! It was better than I had hoped for. For the reception Kristen and Megan directed all our guests while we took photos. Then they made sure we got food and drinks and some time to ourselves before the socializing. Our reception turned out to be so much fun and all of our friends and family LOVED Kristen and Megan! They got to know our guests and they just felt like family celebrating with us by the end of the night! To any brides reading this in need of a wedding coordinator/planner- do yourself a favor and contact Kristen right now! My wedding was a beautiful, fun, and unforgettable day and I owe that to all of Kristen and Megan’s hard work!!! I couldn’t have done it without them!

We worked with Carina of Raleigh Weddings, and it was easily one of the best decisions that we made. Carina has an impeccable eye for details, and through all her meetings helped us ensure that nothing was overlooked on the wedding day. She provided us with thorough check lists, email recaps, and reliable communication to help make our day perfect. Perhaps the best part about Carina is that she is so personable and brings so much joy to the wedding planning process. You could tell that she really cares about all of the people she works with. It is refreshing how authentic she is! Moreover, she really took the stress out of the process especially in the last few weeks. If it was something that she could take off our plates, she was more than happy to do it for us. I can thank her for a wonderful wedding that was flawlessly executed. I would definitely recommend working with Carina & Raleigh NC Weddings.

After many COVID cancellations to our 2020 wedding, we asked Kat to help and she went above and beyond anything we thought was possible. She was so dedicated to making sure our day went smoothly, as well as making it look and feel special to us at a time that was so uncertain. We would highly recommend Evviva Studio to anyone planning their wedding. Our day wouldn't have been the same without their support.
