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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!
