Hands down the best wedding planner in the industry!! No need to search for anyone else. Yingka and team are simply the best. They played a critical role in helping us design and plan for our wedding. It was a year long process and they made it look so easy. We felt so assured and at peace every step of the way because we knew we were in great hands. I highly recommend MPE to everyone!! I will hire this team in a heartbeat for any future events.

I whole heartedly believe that finding Master Plans (Yingka and her team) was a blessing for my wife and me, given all that we had been through.Short backstory - we hired another wedding planner prior to Master Plans and that was a disaster from the beginning. We ended up terminating that contract but the damage had been done. Planning a wedding in general is stressful but it was also supposed to be fun. That first wedding planner really sucked all of the fun and excitement up to that point. Honestly, we were both down in the dumps because we are very trusting people and we felt betrayed and lied to.By some miracle, I was on IG and saw an old classmate following Master Plans. I reached out to her and she had nothing but positive things to say about Yingka and her team. My wife and I spoke to Yingka and since that initial consultation, the energy, optimism, and FUN came back.Things I appreciated about Yingka and her team:- while my wife and I were stressed at different points in our wedding planning, Yingka has a quiet confidence about her and she was always calm and reassuring. An example - my wife was indecisive on the florist leading up to 3 weeks before the wedding so I was freaking out. Yingka kept cool and got us through it- Yingka and her team were always REALLY responsive. I am detail oriented and a little nit-picky, but her team was nice and answered all of my questions (and let me tell you - there were a lot of questions since I am 1) a man and 2) very unfamiliar with the whole process)- they really have the whole process planned out to a T. Leading up to the wedding, there was constant communication between Master Plans and the wedding party. On the day of, everything was planned in 10-15 min increments to make sure EVERYTHING WENT ACCORDING TO PLAN- they went above and beyond their scope of work with all of the assistance that they provided, leading up to the wedding and the day of- Yingkas network of vendors is expansive. She provided recommendations regarding vendors that she has worked with and we ended up choosing a photographer that she was familiar with. That photographer did an absolutely amazing job and my wife and I were thrilled with how the photos turned out- they have a treasure trove of wedding day knick knacks that they can provide to enhance the look and feel of your wedding- she is a preferred vendor at Terranea! Definitely the best one on the list.Overall, I really cant fully express how happy I am that we chose Master Plans and how grateful I am for all the work that Yingka and her team put in to make sure that my wife and I had our dream wedding.

Master Plan Events is a great choice if you are looking for a wedding planner/coordinator. Our coordinator Alyse was amazing and took so much stress off us during the whole process. They really made it possible for us to enjoy the wedding day rather than worrying about everything. I highly recommend them!

What a delight it was to work alongside Yingka and her team Master Plans Events for a celebration of life event. We provided live music for this event and Yingka made sure we had all the information needed from the very beginning. I love how organized she was and most importantly she was very sweet and easy to talk to. Im excited for all future clients to work with her, because I know they will be in very good hands! As for us, we definitely look forward to working with her soon! Thank you Yingka for everything.

Yingka and Master Plans Events really amazed me with their level of professionalism. I’ve been in the business as a musician and the owner of a music agency booking entertainment for over 30 years, and I can truly say Yingka and her team are way ahead of their competition on all levels.With focused attention to minute details, she knows exactly what her client wants and executes it flawlessly. Her staff is extremely accommodating and friendly, so she makes each and every event pleasurable and stress free. My musicians always look forward to Master Plan’s events!

Yingka & the talented team at MPE planned and beautifully executed my wedding this past weekend. Yingka made my vision for a clean, modern, chic & intimate wedding a true reality. I hired her to plan our entire wedding (ambiance, flowers, vendor contracts, budget etc) and it was worth every single penny.I didn’t have to worry and spend time looking for, or negotiating with any vendors. We simply set a budget for her and went over what our “vision” for the wedding was, and her team handled it from there!On the day of the wedding I felt completely relaxed, excited and so happy - not a worry in the world knowing MPE was handling everything. While I was getting ready her team was setting everything up. I wasn’t bothered with minor questions and I was able to really enjoy my time with my sisters a and friends as we got ready. (Honestly, as triet as it may sound, the day goes by so fast that you really want to cherish the moments you have to really enjoy each minute of it!)Yingka scheduled our wedding day perfectly so my husband and I were actually able to enjoy our wedding! We mingled with our guests during cocktail hour and we ate each of the 3 courses served during the reception!After the event MPEs team packed up everything and made sure our belongings (& gifts) were safely packed up and in our hotel room.The entire event was executed so perfectly and the team was so thoughtful throughout our planning process. I couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect day and it wouldn’t have happened without them.

If I could give Master Plans Events & Designs 10 stars, I would. I cannot begin to express my gratitude, appreciation, and satisfaction with their service. They are so organized, professional, and knowledgeable - everything you need from a wedding planning team.I hired MPE for both florals and for day of wedding coordination. To say that they delivered as expected is truly an understatement. They went above and beyond my expectations, and I am so grateful (and relieved) that we hired them.Our wedding was held at one of those venues where you have to bring EVERYTHING in: tables, chairs, lights, linens, catering, alcohol, etc. For that very reason, I knew from the start it was imperative we hire an experienced wedding coordinator who was both friendly (so they dont drive away our vendors) yet in control. With over a decade of experience, Yingka and her team are everything we could have ever hoped for!I told Yingka what I had envisioned for our wedding - rustic, boho chic, and romantic. I purchased wood slices, mason jars, and made burlap table number tags for our centerpieces, and handed them all to Yingkas team a few weeks in advance. On the day of, they set everything up for me, and I was so amazed at how flawless the execution was. Everything turned out beautifully!We also ordered all of our flowers from MPE. Yingka is a great listener, is a visionary, and pays close attention to detail, so the flowers turned out BETTER than I had expected them to. The bridal and bridesmaids bouquets turned out so beautifully. I couldnt stop saying WOW for thirty minutes straight. Our centerpieces looked amazing too. The baby breaths and mini pink roses added the perfect rustic touch to our boho chic theme. My flower crown came out so nice too.MPE was also there at every critical moment: they made sure we were running according to schedule, Yingka cleaned up my makeup after I cried unexpectedly, she helped me bustle my dress when my MOH wasnt around, and their team brought food and water out to my husband and me when the buffet line opened up so we didnt have to worry about getting our own food.I was asked by multiple people why I was so calm throughout the wedding planning process and on wedding day, and the reason is because I knew I had an amazing team that I could trust and depend on to execute on wedding day.I found out after the wedding that there were a few hiccups with some of our vendors (thats expected but still not ideal), but because MPE took care of everything, I had no idea there were any problems on wedding night. They shielded me from the stress and took care of the problems, so I could go on to enjoy my special day. Now THAT is service!Yingka, Taylor, and Quynh, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

What I would like to say is that Yingka Chou, QT, and their staff are truly amazing. I cannot express how awesome these ladies were on a 09.03.16 in Pioneertown, CA at Rimrock Ranch. They were all over the place, coordinating with the vendors and the Bride and Groom. I can not wait to work with Yingka Chou and QT.
