Master Plans Events

Yingka is awesome! She has been in the business of wedding planning and floral arrangements for years, so she brings incredible insight, experience, and connections to the table in terms of advice, know-how, and finding appropriate vendors within budget while delivering on quality & value. She definitely has an eye for design and can create an exceptional wedding that fits in your budget. Yingka's flower arrangements were gorgeous. They turned out so beautiful. Everyone loved it, especially me.

Her team was on sight all day to prepare and coordinate the wedding. We never had a schedule problem. The wedding ran so smoothly, which was fantastic. Everyone was super professional.

Yingka is truly committed to each bride & groom she works with and does her best to make sure the planning process and wedding is everything that the couple wants. Go with her. It's worth it.

The only thing I regret is that I have not written this sooner!!! I cannot say enough good things about Yingka and her team. We hired Yinka for the "day-of-wedding planner" package. I already had my venue, flowers, cake, etc... but had no idea how to plan a time line for the day of or anyone that could have come and setup the reception area, etc... Yingka and her team took care of it all. They were able to totally take all the stress off me so I was able to enjoy my wedding day. I would recommend Yingka to anyone she is very professional and talented, my flowers came too early for them to set up and Yingka and her team stepped in and arranged it all beautifully (people are still complimenting on how beautiful it was)!!! All I can say is that Yingka is amazing if there were any problems that day I was not aware of it because Yingka handled it all. I believe that it was the best decision I could have made (money well spent)!!!

I would recommend Master Plans Events & Designs to anyone who is looking for a very talented florist and wedding planner. Yingka is very detail oriented and made sure everything went smoothly the day of the wedding. Her timelines and schedules kept everyone on track and well informed of what was next. Not only did Yingka’s coordinating skills and great personality make my life easier, but my flower arrangements were absolutely beautiful and I cannot stop looking at our pictures. My reception was everything I had dreamed of and more and the decorations and arrangements exceeded my expectations. Thank you for making my special stress free and beautiful.

Awesome job. THANK YOU.

The only thing I'd like to say is that the flowers were a bit droopy, towards the end of the event (but this may be because flowers aren't in peak season when we're in the middle of winter!)

The wedding planning was spot on. Yingka saved my life & executed everything flawlessly. She kept us on time & I highly recommend her! She goes above & beyond.

Where do I start?? Oh man if I didn't have Yingka for our wedding, I really don't know how it would have turned out. Again this review is long over due but better late than never. :) well let's just say we got married on 11/11/11 the most popular wedding day in Hawaii not to mention we live in Cali (atleast in Hawaii it was). We had no idea what photographer, venue, flowers and all the other stuff we needed to do to do a wedding but not to worry Yingka was there to guide us and find the perfect vendors for us. Not just budget but vendors who we felt comfortable with and had a good connection with. She was right when she told us its important to feel comfortable and be compatible with the vendors (it's amazing how much time you spend with them to get ready for the big day). She did our flowers and they were just amazing and exactly what I was looking for. If you can see our wedding photos :) not to mention the weekend of our wedding, mr Obama and other world leaders were in Hawaii at the same time and even took over the hotel we had our wedding at so we were moved to another hotel after our wedding. It was a hassle but with Yingka being there to help our guests it wasn't too much of a big deal. So long story short even though we were in Cali, with Yingka we were able to pull off an amazing wedding and let me tell you its a must to have Yingka to be your wedding planner.

We hired Master Plans Events for day of coordination. Don't know how we would've pulled it off without Yingka's guidance and hands on help the weeks before and the day of! She knows her stuff and was always positive and responsive.

Yingka from Master Plans was amazing.
I can't believe I was actually considering not getting a planner. What was I thinking!
Yingka made my life so much easier and I couldn't have gotten through the process without her.
She is always willing to go out of her way to do anything.
It's been a couple months after the wedding and when I contacted her with questions about the marriage certificate, she was so responsive and went above and beyond by calling the court for me to see if they had received my application.
She is so awesome and I can't say enough wonderful things about her.

La Canada Country Club provided us with a ceremony coordinator for our wedding and I was lucky enough to have Annie Chou as the coordinator. She is super organized and arrived on time to the rehearsal and on the day of. I had tasks for my bridesmaids, such as setting up the placecards, party favors, etc. but Annie took care of everything! She stayed until the grand entrance and made sure the ceremony, cocktail hour and grand entrance ran smoothly and did an excellent job!

Yingka C. is a wonderful wedding planner. She is so easy to work with. So organized and calm and cool under pressure. She helped me with so many details of the wedding that I would not have been able to do myself. She also did my flowers and did a spectacular job and also helped pick out favors and wedding invitations. I couldn't have had the wonderful wedding I had without all the help from Yingka

Excellent, highly recommended!
Timely, professional, friendly, helpful, offers good advice and knows plenty of vendors and wedding day tips. Easy to contact and quick responses, helped us with every question or concern that we had without stepping on peoples toes or being overly authoritative. Helped me with every question about the wedding even though we only hired Master Plans for day-of coordination. Helped find linens, table numbers and frames, our band, set up and tear down of ceremony and reception, helped with final payments and reminders for name change. Very detailed and responsible for cake, decor pieces, little items and to-do lists.
Our wedding wouldn't have been such a success without them!

Mu husband and I weren't sure about hiring a wedding planner at first, but considering we had less than 5 months and our busy schedules, we decided it might be a good idea. We couldn't have been happier with our choice of a wedding planner. Yingka was fun and easy to work with, took our preferences to heart, and made what could've been a stressful experience to an absolutely joyful one. She was very organized and kept us up to date on all the vendor deadlines. She also has a very calming effect whenever I got stressed out. Everyone at the wedding told us we had a unique and beautiful wedding, which wouldn't have been possible without the help of Yingka and Master Plans Events. Thanks, Yingka!

All I can say is thank you for making my day breath taking. Everything I asked for was executed.

Yingka is the most amazing person that you can hire to be involved in your wedding day! She usually responded to me regardless of the time that I e-mailed/texted her within 5-10 minutes. The flowers looked amazing and smelled wonderful; they were so fresh and beautiful it looked like she had just assembled them 2 minutes before she got to the venue. I left the decorations in the centerpieces up to her and they turned out spectacular! I was really taken aback by how beautiful she had made them; and each of my 13 centerpieces were different in their own way. She is also a wedding planner, and even though we did not hire her in the role of wedding planner she was more than willing to help us out and even gave us some recommendations for other vendors that we ended up using and they were amazing as well! Yingka is definitely the person that you want to have in charge of your flowers!!

Yingka,

You and your team are truly talented at what you do. From the beginning, I could feel your passion for all of it. Your flowers were gorgeous and your wedding planning is flawless. Our wedding was amazing because of you! We will always remember our special day. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication to making it beautiful.

We used Master Plans & Designs for wedding planning and as our florist. Yingka gave us fantastic, professional service from beginning to end. My husband and I both work full-time jobs and did not have a lot of free time to research vendors and plan the little details of our wedding. Yingka easily understood what we wanted and took over the planning from there. Our wedding day couldn't have run more smoothly! She is definitely a talented floral designer as well. The flowers she did for our wedding were so beautiful! They turned out better than we could have imagined. Thank you, Yingka, for making the whole planning process completely stress-free!

Master Plans Events is great! I got way more than I expected. I talked to a few different florist before booking my wedding blooms and he was the only that could give me exactly what I wanted + great service + reasonable price. My flowers were incredible and my guest loved them.

I work as an on site coordinator at La Venta Inn in Palos Verdes and had the pleasure to work with Yingka for a wedding at our facility in June of 2010.......Yingka not only helped with the planning process for our client, she also provided and set up amazing floral decor for the ceremony and reception, did an excellent job at both............Yingka has been a great contact for me and has helped me with last minute linen issues numerous times since our collaboration.......I don't get to work with outside coordinators often but when I do and when my clients ask, Yingka's is one of a few that I'd recommend and her floral work is her forte...........This girl is the total package

Everything was exceptional, from day 1 until after my wedding. It was wonderful, she was so helpful when I didn't know where to start. She helped me choose colors, fabrics, and centerpieces. I am still receiving compliments!

It was really helpful that she doubled as our florist. Her coordination package was amazing and really made the difference in terms of details that we would not have otherwise remembered. She's very friendly and easy to get along with - we were very comfortable working with her. In addition, she really helped fill creative gaps that we had - she was able to hone in on the things we liked and disliked without us having to really explain it. We would definitely choose her again...this time for full coordination instead of just day-of. For day-of coordination, she provided services that we didn't know were available to us. We highly recommend Yingka.

This service is wonderful! My flowers were gorgeous, more beautiful then I had even pictured. They worked within my budget and used expertise to help me make beautiful arrangements at low cost. I highly recommend using Master Plans!

The flowers looked amazing at my wedding I would strongly recommend them to everyone.

Go meet with Master Plans – they are fabulous! I felt comfortable with Yingka within minutes of meeting her. She is down to earth and easy to work with, and enthusiastic about finding the perfect flowers for each person. I appreciated her patience as she and I went through different elements of the wedding (bride/groom and party, centerpieces, front table, aisle runner, etc.) – I was pretty lost at the beginning! I changed my mind a couple times – what bride doesn’t, right? - and Yingka was gracious yet professional at all times. The day of the wedding, I was overjoyed at how beautiful all the flowers looked – Yingka has a great eye and pulled everything together wonderfully. And did it within my budget! Overall, I was greatly impressed with Master Plans throughout the entire process (during planning meetings, and day of wedding) and absolutely recommend her without hesitation.

Our Florist was very excellent with her service and I do recommend her anytime. She loves what she does and she is compassionate. she did a great job with the flowers and decorations... we Loved it. Thanks a million Yingko..

The church was also decorated with the decorations and it all turned out looking beautiful in the end I thank my husband for getting these people.

amazing work!!

As a fashion designer I am VERY picky to say the least. Yingka was just amazing to work with as she is adaptable, calm and collected and very talented. I never felt "pushed" into spending more then "necessary". She really provided great value and the quality of her work was a class act all the way as I wouldn't have settled for anything less. I got many awesome complements form great critics like my now husband (who has had an event planning company), mom and aunt. Guests were actually arguing over who will take the center piece home!!!Yingka is the "real deal"

I was very thankful that I chose A Couture Event to be my Florist for my wedding. I described to Yingka the kind of flowers I wanted, and what I did not want at my wedding. She was able to show me several examples of centerpiece arrangements and even met with me to show me the actual product! Another great thing about A Couture Event is that you have the option of renting various items such as pillars and candle holders for the ceremony.

I really enjoyed working with Yingka because she had several ideas and suggestions for me choose from regarding my centerpieces and set-up. Additionally, she is very friendly and personable. For example, I was concerned about my cake being delivered too late for her to decorate in the morning, but she was nice enough to stay and wait for it to come before she left the reception site.

I would definately recommend A Couture Event to everyone!

Awesome service.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I had the opportunity to work with "Yingka Chou" Coordinator & Designer from MASTER PLANS EVENTS & DESIGNS. I was very impressed from start to finish with how smooth and efficient Yingka coordinated the wedding reception. She made sure that the event started on time and that the all of the vendors including the BLUE BREEZE BAND had a Time-Line that was accurate and easy to follow. The bride & groom mentioned that they were very pleased with Master Plans Events and Designs.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND "YINGKA CHOU" of Master Plans Events and Designs...

The BLUE BREEZE BAND
Motown R&B Soul Funk and Jazz &...

Master Plans is thorough and flexible which makes our job at Awesome Entertainment easier since we can focus on what we do best. Yingka is always quick to respond to questions promptly. One of the best.

I recommend the services of Master Plans Events to make your Wedding Day a one-of-a-kind event that will be remembered and cherished by you and all your guests for years to come. ~~ Angela Neik, www.calligraphybyangela.com 214 957 2155 Dallas Calligrapher

I love working with Yingka and her team! She's beyond on top of things. From the itinerary of the wedding day and directions to each location (getting ready, ceremony, reception, etc.) to even the seating chart and detailed list of family formal photos, I know that a wedding coordinated by Yingka will be in very good hands.

I've been fortunate to be referred by Yingka to a few weddings this past Summer. And as a vendor, it feels great to work with a very professional but also easy-going planner/coordinator like Yingka. You'll see her doing everything from lining up the guests for the ceremony/reception entrance to making sure the bride and groom are happy with everything. I really look forward to working with Master Plans Events...

If you want your flowers to be uniquely beautiful and your decor to be stand out gorgeous, then Yinqka is your girl! She is also an amazing Wedding Planner and Coordinator. it is her gracious and easy going personality that truly make her a cut above the rest. She goes out of her way for her brides and really listens to their ideas instead of trying to force flower choices on them or destroying their budget. I have been referring her services to clients for years now and they are always overwhelmed by her ability to help make their day perfect and their flowers and decor unforgettable.
