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.

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!

I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Amy Haywood and White Rose Co. on several events over the past couple years, and every wedding we’ve worked together has been executed at an exceptionally high level. Amy is the perfect combination of professionalism and personality. She is incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and dedicated to ensuring every aspect of the event reflects her clients’ vision. At the same time, she is genuinely fun to work with, which creates a positive atmosphere for both clients and vendors alike. One of the things that stands out most about Amy is her ability to coordinate seamlessly with all vendors while keeping the client’s wishes at the center of everything she does. Her communication, leadership, and attention to detail make event days run smoothly and efficiently, even when managing complex timelines and logistics. It’s also clear that I’m not the only one who enjoys working with her. Watching her interact with other vendors, wedding guests, and clients, it’s easy to see the respect and appreciation she has earned from everyone around her. I sincerely hope we continue to build our business relationship and work together on many more events in the years ahead. Amy consistently delivers excellence, and I would highly recommend her and White Rose Co. to anyone looking for a wedding planner who combines professionalism, expertise, and a wonderful personality. - DJ Mikey of Mixology DJ Entertainment

Mandy was the absolute best!!! Our wedding would not have been our wedding without her. I was a very detail oriented bride and she had every single thing I wanted done and ready for our guests! From helping us figure out the logistics, to setting up our dreamy reception, fighting the rain off for our ceremony, and just being there for whatever we needed. I can honestly say I had 0 stress on wedding day (and it was pouring rain!) and it was all because of Mandy. She made sure everything was handled before I even realized something was wrong. She made our families lives easier and made it so they could enjoy the day as well by handling all prep and clean up. She made sure everything we wanted happened no matter what. I recommend her to everyone I know!!! Hoping we do a big vow renewal so she can plan another event for us!!! She was very communicative throughout our 1.5 year engagement and her and her team are so professional.

Where do I even begin? Liz is truly a one of a kind human being. I don’t think I could ever fully put into words how exceptional she is. Her warm, genuine personality, constant professionalism, and humble, grounded presence made every part of the planning process feel supported, organized, and despite my natural overthinking stress. We didn’t originally plan on hiring a wedding planner. But about nine months out, I quickly realized I needed help. Choosing Liz ended up being one of the best decisions we made. She guided us through every detail with ease and confidence. Not only did she help manage our entire wedding, but she also planned our honeymoon, which turned out to be beyond anything we ever could have imagined. One of our top activities in Aruba opened for reservations the day after our wedding, and Liz booked it immediately that morning to get us in. She booked all activities and restaurants for us. Anytime I had a question, which was often, she responded within minutes or simply called me. She made everything fun, approachable, and stress-free. She kept detailed tabs on every task and ensured nothing slipped through the cracks. Even when I had the majority of vendors and plans in place, she refined everything with such precision. She understood my personality and how overwhelmed I can get, even when things are technically “done,” and she guided me through everything with patience and grace. The week of the wedding, she checked in frequently. On the day of, she was phenomenal. Every detail was set up exactly how we envisioned it. Labeling bins and décor helped her and her assistant move seamlessly, and I’m so grateful because she executed our entire moody/vintage aesthetic vision flawlessly. Two days before the wedding, when I couldn’t find greenery anywhere, Liz made one or two calls and found it instantly. I’ll never forget when I urgently needed our honeymoon flight information for our rental car info and she literally pulled over on the highway to send it to me. That is who she is, someone who goes above and beyond in ways most people wouldn’t even consider. Her pricing is more than fair, and her service is worth every single penny. Whether you need full-service planning or just check-ins, she adapts to exactly what you need. I had most things planned, but still had countless details and small several questions lol. No matter how minor or silly they felt, she always responded with kindness and expertise. Our FaceTime meetings became a highlight of the planning process. Occasionally, her pups or her daughter would pop into the frame, making everything feel personal-not like a business transaction, but like talking to a friend who genuinely cared about us and our day. Liz is an amazing planner, but she is an even better human. Humble, compassionate, creative, organized, and incredibly knowledgeable, especially with florals. I made my own centerpieces, and with her guidance, they turned out exactly how I imagined. Russell and I are endlessly grateful she was part of our wedding. I could cry thinking about how much she did for us. Liz, thank you for making our day perfect. Thank you for your dedication, your heart, your time, and your incredible talent. We truly could not have done any of this without you. No wedding turns out perfect, but everything Liz was involved with/in charge of - was. We are forever thankful for her.

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.

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.

Where do I even begin?! Hiring Melissa and the Knot Too Shabby Team as our wedding planner was hands down one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. We got married in April 2026, and I truly cannot imagine our wedding day without them! From the very beginning, Melissa made us feel supported, organized, and completely at ease. Planning a wedding can (and will!) feel overwhelming, but she somehow made the entire process enjoyable. She thought of every little detail, answered every question we had, and always made us feel like we were her top priority! On our wedding day, we were able to be fully present because I knew Melissa had everything under control. Every vendor was exactly where they needed to be, the timeline ran seamlessly, and if anything unexpected happened, I never knew about it because she handled everything behind the scenes. That peace of mind is something you simply can't put a price on. Beyond being an incredible planner, Melissa is such a kind and genuine person. She truly cares about her couples and pours her heart into making sure your wedding day is everything you've dreamed of and more. Looking back on our wedding, everything felt effortless - and that's because Melissa worked tirelessly to make it that way. We were able to soak in every moment with our family and friends without worrying about a single thing, and that is a gift we'll always be grateful for. If you're considering hiring Melissa, PLEASE PLEASE don't hesitate. We are forever thankful for everything she did to make our wedding absolutely perfect, and we truly couldn't recommend her more highly. Thank you, Melissa, for giving us the most incredible day and memories we'll cherish for the rest of our lives!

Our wedding was truly beautiful - we had over 100 guests and were blown away by the food, decor, space, music, and even the thoughtful signage and design. Amani Affairs exceeded our expectations in every way and made our special day an absolute joy. We couldn't recommend them more highly!

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.

Avenue Design Studio - Wedding Planning was an absolute pleasure to work with. Their communication style was efficient, kind, and trustworthy throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and value exceeded our expectations - it was an awesome experience that was even better than we had imagined! They did a fantastic job with the flowers, allowing us to let them handle the style and overall look of the bouquets, table pieces, and the beautiful flower arch, which all perfectly matched our vision. When our wedding coordinator unexpectedly got food poisoning the day of the wedding, they replaced her with someone else seamlessly, without any disruption. We are so grateful to the Avenue Design Studio team for making our special day truly unforgettable.

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! :)

I'm passionate about bringing each couple's vision to life, whether you're dreaming of an intimate celebration or a large-scale event, I provide personalized planning and coordination to ensure your wedding day is seamless, stress-free, and uniquely yours. Let's create a wedding day you'll remember for a lifetime.

Working with Elise Murray was an absolute game-changer for our wedding planning process. From our first conversation, she responded quickly and made everything feel straightforward—no confusion or back-and-forth confusion that often comes with planning. What really set Elise apart was how she brought my Pinterest board to life while also making sure my husband felt like an equal partner in the process, which honestly doesn't happen at most weddings where the wife makes all the calls. I came to her with a very specific vision and demanding preferences, but instead of pushing back, she met every single one of my needs with incredible attention to detail and genuine pride in her work. The final result was colorful, thoughtful, and absolutely perfect. Elise treated our day like it was her own, and we couldn't be more grateful for the professionalism and care she brought to every decision.
