The Penny Pincher Planner 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Offers 1 service
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Chadbourn, NC

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.

Crystal is a wonderful person to work with. She automatically puts you at ease with her warm personality. She is organized, keeps you informed and keeps everything moving on time. You will not regret your decision on securing Crystal for your special day!

We love working with couples (and yes sometimes your mama or daddy too!) to make you day come together. There is a good chance, after the wedding we'll miss each other and still keep in contact.

When our clients have healthy budgets, we'll design something beautiful! Whether you want to be involved every step of the way of planning or you want us to design, present and produce, we have you covered!

Talia is simply the best. She goes above and beyond to help make your wedding day the most special, stress free day. From start to finish, vendors and planning, every i was dotted and every t was crossed. During our planning, she was extremely responsive and was one (or 10 haha) steps ahead of us at all times. I didn't stress about anything during the planning phase or the day of because Talia and her team had every single detail under control and executed everything perfectly. I could go on and on about how awesome Four 26 Events is but the most important thing I can say is that I would recommend her to ANYONE getting married. Hands down, the best money spent for our wedding. I would have her plan my life if I could!

Brittney was the wedding coordinator for my best friend's wedding in November, and I was getting married in March.

I asked her (after my friend's wedding was over) if she was available for my date and she said YES! Brittney assisted with all aspects of planning and was always available for any and everything I needed or had questions on. Her level of communication is outstanding. From planning, coordination with vendors, the exceptional timeline she created, etc., she was there every step of the way. The day of, I felt so relaxed and was able to enjoy my big day because I knew I had Brittney. We had a few issues with our venue (that I was not even aware of) because Brittney handled absolutely everything. Brittney went way above and beyond her call of duty, and our wedding day was absolutely perfect because of her. Brittney's level of dedication to her clients is unmatched. She is emotionally involved and becomes part of the family. I am SO thankful for her and our friendship. I know she will be our first call for when my younger siblings get married.

Words can't express how amazing Bre was to work with! Before I found Bre I was overwhelmed with ever aspect of wedding planning - I didn't even know where to start when it came to catering, flowers, signage, timelines, etc. Not only did she help this unorganized bride with planning an entire wedding, but she provided such comfort and ease for the actual wedding day. I didn't have to worry about how anything looked or how the "flow" of events would work because Bre was on top of it all. I am so thankful to have had her help for the months, days, hours and minutes of this entire process.

At Avenue Design Studio, we began as a floral business, but quickly realized we could offer so much more to our clients. Over our 10+ years of working with couples on those special lifetime moments, we found ourselves stepping in to assist our brides and event clients with planning, vendor coordination, and overall event management. This inspired us to shift our focus and create Avenue Design Studio, a full-service event planning and design company. Whether you’re looking for full-service planning or just need assistance with specific aspects, we provide multiple packages and a la carte options to fit your needs. You dream it, we create it.

From start to finish working with Avenue Design Studio was a fantastic experience! I had an initial call with Chad and based on that I knew they were professionals who could bring my vision to life through floral design and day of coordination. Then they continued to provide clear and open communication throughout the planning process and were able to make suggestions as needed to advance my vision. The week of the wedding I was in contact with Morgan who would be our official day of coordinator. Morgan ended up saving the day when our bartender cancelled on us last minute; she stepped in and bartended on top of coordinating. Then she was able to work with me to donate our flowers to a women’s shelter; a cause that hits close to home for me. I cannot recommend Avenue Design Studio enough!!

We had the BEST time planning our wedding day with Magnolia Collective (MC). We unfortunately had some wedding venue "drama" along the way, and MC was so professional and helped address any concerns we had. I knew our wedding day was going to run like a well oiled machine, and I truly can't believe how perfect the day was. We did the partial planning package and it was definitely worth having that extra bit of planning support and onsite vendor visits. Highly recommend! :)

My name is Makenzie, a North Carolina native and UNC–Chapel Hill graduate with a love for creativity, organization, and meaningful moments. When I’m not researching vendors, breaking down budgets, or perfecting timelines, you can usually find me hiking, crafting, or spending time with my mini-me’s. Wedding planning felt like a natural calling once I realized I could combine my love for celebrations with my knack for lists, spreadsheets, and problem-solving. I approach each couple like a trusted friend, creating a calm, supportive planning experience so you can truly enjoy your engagement and wedding day.

We had an amazing experience with Carolina Event Masters. We had Kenzie as our coordinator as well as two amazing assistants. We had a 7-month engagement and got married December 20, 2025 for a wedding in Henderson, NC with about 100 people in attendance. We found CEM through a NC brides Facebook page when we posted looking for day-of coordinators. CEM had several options for what level of support we needed and we went with the middle option - it comprised, in brief, day-of coordination and running the rehearsal, assistance finding a few vendors, and several planning meetings. The level of service we received was what I'd expect from a planner more than a coordinator. CEM wasn't there to show up the day-of and motion to the piano to start playing. They coordinated in advance every moment of the day to make sure it went smoothly and was exactly what we wanted. Not only did they get the contact info of all the vendors for emergencies, but they confirmed every policy and communicated with them in advance to make sure they knew what to expect. They toured the church and reception venue to make sure they were familiar with the spaces. Not only did they helped with what we asked about, but they asked questions to help us avoid making last-minute decisions or missing things that were important to us that we hadn't thought about. For ex., they asked about what we wanted to happen with the flowers after the reception. They also gave us advice based on their experience. For ex., recommending we list the table assignments by last name. The rehearsal was very professional and pleasant - they were very prompt and made sure to go through everything thoroughly. The day of the wedding they split up between church/reception venue. EVERYTHING was either on-time or early all day. They went above and beyond to help set up the reception - something we definitely didn't expect from a coordinator. Our reception venue had staff that set the tables etc., and we had a florist, but CEM reviewed everything, made sure the placecards/kids bags/high chiars were in the right place down to the chair, etc. They also were familiar with the type of photobooth we rented and they set it up entirely for us. All this set up and more was just way beyond what we expected and extremely helpful. We could tell they were invested in making everything beautiful and perfect. Sarah also took several beautiful photos for us - a complete surprise and very special treat. One of our favorite photos from the night was one she took of our first dance. This also gave us a sneak peak into what the reception looked like before anyone had arrived! (All attached photos are from her). We had an issue with our seating chart and they saved the day - long story short it was going to be delivered AFTER the wedding and we thought we were out of luck. I mentioned the issue to Kenzie and when I arrived from the church after the ceremony I saw the seating chart in the doorway before our entry! She had ordered it, picked it up, and set it up for us. I don't know how she did it, but she did, and it was so thoughtful and touching that she would put in that extra effort on top of everything they had on their plates. I could go on and on but I hope this reflects just some of what CEM did for our wedding and how thrilled we were with them. They are a lovely group of people. If we HAD to cut any cost or change any vendor, they would be last on the list. It was perfect.
