Amazing experience planning a wedding at Terranea with Master Plans

Yingka, Samiyah and the whole team was amazing and created a wedding that ended up being beyond my wildest dreams at Terranea. Yingka (and her team) responds to any call, text, or email within minutes or very soon after! As a starting point, my venue provided several "preferred" vendors. When I reached out to many of the vendors, Yingka was the first to respond and was so open and welcoming. She made me feel comfortable and wanted to know what I envisioned for my wedding and what she could do to make it happen. Throughout the process, I received many recommendations, including which vendors to use for photography, videography, florals, etc. I am so grateful that I worked with vendors Yingka was familiar with and recommended, because everything was perfect. Our wedding was elevated because of Master Plans, and everything could not have been smoother!

The entire team displayed kindness, professionalism and positivity. While wedding planning might be stressful, the whole team made me feel like everything was taken care of from beginning to end.

“Excellent wedding planners like Master Plan truly make the wedding!”

We literally could not have had a wedding without Master Plan. They were the perfect wedding
planners, and we couldn’t have asked for more. The team struck the ideal balance between
being present, knowledgeable, and supportive, while also respecting our preferences. They
were always available, whether we needed phone calls, emails, or Zoom meetings.
When I was anxious and overwhelmed, the staff provided support, reassurance, and calm. Their
20 years of expertise and passion for the work were evident every step of the way. The entire
team made my wedding day seamless, and I felt surprisingly calm because I knew they had
taken care of everything. Their warm, positive energy made the experience fun and light.
I was amazed by how they thought of every little detail—things I couldn’t have even imagined!
We had specific needs and requirements, especially when it came to our budget, and they
made it all happen. We consider ourselves non-traditional, and they accommodated all of our
preferences with acceptance and respect. Financial concerns can be one of the most stressful
parts of wedding planning, but every time we worried, they worked within our budget and
reassured us that we would get the wedding we wanted. In the end, we got so much more than
we ever imagined.
Master Plan exceeded our expectations in every way, from always being available to offering
thoughtful suggestions and expert insights. We highly recommend them and wouldn’t look
anywhere else for an event planner. They kept us calm when things got overwhelming, and as a
fun pun: “Excellent wedding planners like Master Plan truly make the wedding!”

Best Wedding Planning Team!

I cannot recommend Master Plan Events enough for their exceptional wedding planning services. From the very beginning of the wedding process, Yingka and her team were an absolute delight to work with. They made every step, from designing the wedding to planning it, an enjoyable and stress free experience.

When it came to the design aspect, I provided them with all of my inspiration pictures, and they went above and beyond by creating various mock-ups for me to choose from. Their ability to capture and execute my vision for the day was truly remarkable. The end result was a wedding that was everything I had ever imagined and more. It was breathtakingly beautiful in every way.

On the day of the wedding and leading up to it, Mast Plan Events ensured everything went off without a hitch. Every detail was meticulously planned and executed to perfection. They took care of aspects I hadn't even considered, like the color of the lights. They really ensured that every element of the day was flawless. I was able to just enjoy the day and soak everything in.

Thank you to Yingka and her incredible team (Fei, Savannah, Samiyah), my wedding day was smooth, stunning, and utterly unforgettable. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will exceed your expectations and create the wedding of your dreams, look no further. They are truly the best in the business.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
