About The Penny Pincher Planner

The Penny Pincher Planner

Lead 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're the guide every budget-minded couple needs throughout their planning journey. We offer tips & tricks on how to save big on their big day and take the stress away that naturally comes with planning, especially on a budget.

In three words: Collaborative, Creative, Organized

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.
The Wedding Planner that is right for you!

We believe that a beautiful, stunning wedding should be possible within any budget and we strive to make the most out of our couple's budgets. You'll find most planners require or suggest a minimum budget their client's to have, we do not. A budget is just a number, but it's how you plan to spend it that makes the difference. We'll be the first to tell you if your expectations are reasonable and we'll help guide you in the direction needed to stay within budget.

Our Guided Planning Experience package is $2,200, but we also offer optional add-on services. Travel fees may apply if wedding location is beyond 50 miles from Kinston, NC.

We are based out of Kinston, NC, and most weekends you can find us in Greenville, Goldsboro, New Bern and Jacksonville. We are available to plan weddings all over the southeast in North Carolina.

Absolutely! We love helping our couples with all wedding related events. We find this is a great opportunity to get to know you even better, which helps us better serve you on your big day! Price is dependent several specifics, such as the type of event, guest count and location.
