The Penny Pincher Planner

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.

She went above and beyond her stated duties and we felt so fortunate. She held our hands when we needed it, but also gave us the flexibility and room to make our own creative decisions. That being said- her design instincts are broad for any theme, and absolutely gorgeous. Her team is fabulous too- very professional, detail oriented. Everything went off without a hitch, and we are so glad to be able to look back at that moment in our lives with a feeling of joy and connectedness, not stress and burnout.

Thanks to Brittney, our wedding day was completely stress-free! She created a detailed timeline for the day, making everything run smoothly and effortlessly. She came prepared with her Bridal Emergency Kit, which had everything we could possibly need (and more). Another fantastic resource Brittney offers is her rental website, which allowed us to rent practically everything we needed. It was a budget-friendly option that made planning even easier. Brittney even made sure we were able to eat during our reception and that we fully enjoyed our special day. Her care and expertise made all the difference—we truly had the best day ever thanks to her!

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.​

Melissa perfectly nailed my vision for our wedding, and was such a pro. You can tell she is a perfectionist and knows how special this day is to a couple. She was so competent and made sure she knew what was most important to get perfect - and so much of the wedding was!! I'm so glad we went with Weaver Weddings - you will be in good hands!!
