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.

SUPERSTAR planning team!!

Yingka and her incredible superwoman team (Savannah, Samiyah, Fei) were absolutely essential to our wedding planning and day-of experience! We are beyond grateful for all that they did to ensure that our wedding was a dream come true.

Yingka is probably THE MOST knowledgeable and experienced planner when it comes to Terranea weddings. This was absolutely crucial and made the planning process so much smoother as we were making the majority of decisions from afar in NYC. She knew which vendors we'd like best, and she ended up doing sooo much more than we initially requested. In fact, we ultimately ended up asking MPE to take over all of decor/design, and thank goodness we did-- they achieved an aesthetic that far surpassed what we had envisioned!

We could say a million amazing things about the MPE team, but if we had to pick one that just really "WOW-ed" us, it would be how professional and exceptional they were on our wedding day. There was not a moment where we worried about a single logistic, and the team handled last-minute changes so seamlessly that we never even had a second to panic. We honestly probably don't even know the extent of their amazing work because so much was just taken care of behind the scenes. All we know is that everything we had asked for was executed perfectly, and we got to enjoy our wedding day truly worry-free!!

Great and EASY service

Never having been married before, I had no idea what a wedding planner did and to this day I am not sure all the work they did behind the scenes. That said, these guys were CLUTCH leading up to the wedding. To start, they had knowledge of and relationships with multiple vendors that we actually did end up going with (including our florist) and because they knew what it was we were looking for, they were able to personalize the offerings to us. As we started getting closer to the actual wedding date, they slowly started assembling all the necessary stuffs including the vendor contracts and contact numbers, and they helped me navigate a situation with a vendor that was potentially fraudulent. Their impact was especially evident in the days leading up to the wedding, where they had entire timelines created, and come our wedding day, they were essential in ensuring everyone was where they needed to be and when they needed to be there, even helping our photographer get shots after the ceremony. Yingka and Fei were tremendous throughout the entire process, responding exceedingly quickly to any questions we had and ensuring everything was as we imagined it at the start of planning. For the price, the services they offered was extraordinary and we are super happy to have gone with them.
