Perfectly Planned

until we interviewed multiple planners and I immediately felt comfortable with Yvonne the second we started talking! She was so fun and easy to chat with, and didn't make us feel judged about how we didn't have a strong vision for our wedding initially, instead helping us talk through our priorities and offering ideas without pressure. Throughout the process it was so easy to stay connected with her - she was accessible by text, email, phone, and for virtual meetings, which was so helpful since we planned our wedding remotely. I felt like I could ask her anything without feeling silly. Of course she was also impeccably organized and knowledgeable, communicated clearly with our vendors, and ran everything with calm competence during our wedding weekend. As a Type A girl myself, I was really able to let go with her by our side. My husband repeatedly said "we'll just do whatever Yvonne says" throughout the day. We could also just really feel that she was actually invested in our day and our relationship, which makes such a difference. If we had to do it over again, we would 100% hire Yvonne, no question, no notes. (As a bonus, she speaks Cantonese which was really clutch with our dimsum restaurant venue!)

he wishes of the bride and groom and made many helpful suggestions. We got the beautiful fairytale wedding we were all hoping for. Thank you, Yvonne!

ve big shoes to fill when she moves on! She’s experienced and knowledgeable but never pushy. I trusted her to give feedback on our ideas based on her experience without ever telling us what to do. A true pro. She truly cares about executing your ideas, not changing them to her tastes which really allowed our day to feel like an authentic reflection of us. She’s confident and competent but approachable and friendly. I never felt like she was trying to upsell us. I ended up hiring her for additional coordination and month-of support and she answered every tiny question we had throughout the process. She was truly the glue holding everything together on our actual day. Emotions and andrenaline run so high on your wedding day I cannot imagine pulling such a big event off without someone level headed and organized like Yvonne in your corner behind the scenes! We were able to actually enjoy our wedding because we knew she had a detailed itinerary and we trusted her to make sure everything ran smoothly. We cannot thank her or recommend her enough!

vent. She is authentic, responsive and patient, and overall a pleasure to work with. I recommend her without any hesitation!

lanning and ensured our wedding day went off without a hitch. On the big day, everything ran like a well-oiled machine! She seamlessly coordinated with all of our vendors and made sure to carve out time in the schedule for my husband and me to eat and enjoy a few private moments together. Working with Yvonne was such a joy, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone planning their special day!

r any details and she would put us at ease when we would feel a little overwhelmed with the wedding. When it came to the day of, we didnt feel any stress at all and it went off without a hitch. She thinks about all of the little details before and during, like when get gathered all of the little snacks during cocktail hour and scheduled a time for us to just relax with each other with some of our signature cocktails. I cant recommend her enough, she was amazing, attentive, and best of all she felt like a close friend just wanting to be there for you. Hire her, she'll be the best decision you make when it comes to planning your wedding.

is always checking in to make sure that we are happy with the whole planning process. She provided us with some great suggestions for vendors that were actually cheaper options than what we found and so she helped us save a good amount of money for our wedding. Not only that Yvonne, has an amazing personality, and she felt like family right from the get-go. On the day of our wedding, she made sure all the details were perfect and that all the vendors were there and coordinated everything perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding coordinator.

or me being new to having a wedding, Yvonne really relieved my partner and I from many stressors that could’ve occurred. She really served us as a month of coordinator since she got in touch with us a month prior and helped us with developing a timeline, contacted our vendors for deliveries or services, and even did an amazing job checking in with us to just see how we were doing and feeling prior to the big day. She is very personable and easy to reach out to - whether that is in person, via text, or phone. When it came to the day of, she explained and guided me (the bride) on where to go and what to do. A wedding can be such a chaotic day and she helped orchestrate so many people and myself in a calm and easy manner - I really don’t know how she does it! I am absolutely so grateful for her and give her so much credit to how flawless my wedding turned out at the University club of sf. I would recommend her to all my friends and family!

remely helpful. If you're considering a wedding planner, Yvonne is the absolute best.

an organized e-doc with multiple questions and details I never thought of. I’m so glad she took over a month before because she dealt with every vendor and all those small and big details and timeline structures that made a huge impact day-of. She was absolutely invaluable and I would definitely recommend Yvonne to help with any and all wedding needs.

eptive to our questions throughout the year and gave us some great recommendations on vendors and nearby hotels. The day went by so so smoothly and it would not have been possible without her support. We can't thank her enough for helping make our wedding the best weekend ever!

could have imagined. Yvonne is incredibly knowledgeable and exudes a calm energy that instantly eases your concerns as you know you are in the hands of an expert! On top of all of that, Yvonne is funny and incredibly friendly so it's like you are planning your special event with a friend. I can honestly not say enough good things about my experience, if I could give 5K stars I would! Thank you so much Yvonne for making my planning experience and wedding day such a breeze and dream!

the atmosphere was spot-on, creating a vibe that perfectly matched what we had in mind. Our guests raved about the venues and Yvonne really helped capture the classic San Francisco we wanted to share with our friends and family. What really stood out was Yvonne's commitment. No matter how many emails we sent her way, she handled them all with patience and a positive attitude. It was clear she cared about making our day special and stress-free. Her responsiveness and adaptability made the planning process way smoother than we expected. Yvonne is the kind of wedding planner who brings professionalism and a personal touch together effortlessly. She’s reliable and down-to-earth, and her incredibly positive attitude never wavers. We're so happy we chose both the University Club and Yvonne for our special day.

ld friends, kicking off with witty and jocular banter. She displayed nothing but kindness, understanding, patience, and the utmost professionalism throughout our planning, and her guidance and expertise the day of the wedding was invaluable. Stylish, intelligent and full of charm, Yvonne will make sure your wedding day is an enjoyable and truly magical experience. Thank you, Yvonne!! You’re the best! With much gratitude, C&C

ivered an incredibly beautiful and memorable wedding for us that our guests still talk about almost four months later! Thank you Yvonne for everything. -Tristan&Dave <3

ateful we are for her exceptional service. From start to finish, Yvonne went above and beyond to ensure our special day went off without a hitch. Here's why we highly recommend her for your wedding: Punctuality and Time Management: Yvonne played a crucial role in helping us stay on track with our wedding day schedule. She meticulously coordinated with all the vendors to ensure everything happened on time, from the ceremony to the reception. Her attention to detail in this aspect alleviated so much stress, allowing us to fully enjoy our day. Outstanding Responsiveness: Communication was a breeze with Yvonne. She was incredibly responsive to our emails and questions (within 24-48 hrs.), making us feel heard and valued. Her quick response time and willingness to address any concerns or inquiries put us at ease throughout the planning process. To be honest, responsiveness is one of the things I value most even at work, so was grateful that Yvonne alleviated the stress of having to follow-up or wait for responses. Thoughtful Extras: Yvonne truly understands the ins and outs of wedding planning. She brought up aspects we hadn't even considered, helping us think of aspects we wouldn't even had thought about (e.g. suggestion on how to manage our timeline and keeping dinner not too late into the program, etc.). Her expertise ensured that we didn't overlook any important details, ensuring a seamless and memorable event. Creative Decorations/Ability to Get Hands-On: One of the standout moments was when Yvonne took charge of our welcome table when we just didn't have the time and mental capacity to do it ourselves (we didn't neither a wedding planner nor groom/bridal party to help out). We provided minimal instructions, but she transformed our vision into a stunning reality for the welcome table we saw on the way to make the entrance. Calm and Composed: Throughout the day, Yvonne remained calm, composed, and adaptable. Her ability to handle any unexpected challenges discreetly and efficiently was a testament to her professionalism and experience. She allowed us to savor every moment without worrying about the little things. In conclusion, Yvonne played a pivotal role in making our wedding day an unforgettable experience. Her dedication, responsiveness, attention to detail, and creative expertise were invaluable. We wholeheartedly recommend Yvonne to any couple looking for a wedding vendor who will not only meet but exceed their expectations. Thank you, Yvonne, for being part of our planning and execution of our big day!

xperienced with all the wedding related stuff, which helps a lot. She guided us though the whole process, set up a timeline, budget, floor map and so many other details that came with her tons of experience planning so many weddings and events before. She knew how stressful the process can be, so she was always trying to help, coming up with suggestions, reminding us with what needs attention on a timely manner, to make sure everything stays on course. We had to make so many changes with our plans, and not only was she always very flexible and tried to accommodate such changes and needs, she was very supportive and tried to propose alternative whenever needed. On the wedding day, Yvonne and her stuff were working non stop to make sure every thing went according to the plan, they helped us set up extra decorations that we got, help with setting up the wedding theme, guide our guests, vendors and the bridal party. It was a long and memorable day, and Yvonne did a great job in helping everyone sticking with the plan and timeline, coordinating between the vendors, communicating to us clearly to help us and the party sticking to the plan, and taking care of any situations that might need attention. She did an amazing job, the day went according to plan, she tried to make the process as stress free as possible, everyone left with great and happy memories, and above all, it was always assuring to have her around throughout the day. We knew we were in good hands. Thank you very much for everything Yvonne.

is important and what is not. She was easy to communicate with - she was direct and up-front about important things like cost and rules and timelines, which alleviated stress and cut through ambiguity. She worked with our specific requests without any kind of judgment or nudging to increase the cost of the wedding, something inherent to lots of aspects in the wedding industry. Yvonne clearly had a lot of experience with hosting weddings, and was able to manage many little details for us (i.e. how the space should be arranged for dinner, how much time is needed for a speech or first dance, whether our officiant should use a podium or a folder, etc etc etc). When you don't know what you don't know, Yvonne could be relied on. Lastly, Yvonne was really cool so having her around throughout the process was a fun little bonus!

ecommend!!

ommunicative, while somehow keeping you calm throughout the planning process and on your wedding day. I don't even want to think about how the entire process would have gone without Yvonne - thank goodness I don't have to. She's the best!

y because we loved Yvonne so much. She is so friendly, knowledgeable and relatable. Every conversation we had we walked away knowing she understood exactly what we wanted and would make it happen. We knew that she was going to make our wedding wonderful with as little stress to us. Yvonne handled everything with ease and worked well with all our other vendors so our wedding day went flawlessly. She checked in with us throughout the day and kept the timeline moving all without us ever feeling stressed or wondering what time it was. She made sure we had private time with appetizers before dinner and had food and drinks brought to our table during the reception. I know that Yvonne can handle anything thrown her way and I would trust her completely to plan my wedding. Thanks for everything, Yvonne!

dn’t have to even think about it (and could actually enjoy my wedding day). She also was extremely thoughtful—helped guide us through the day and made sure we had time to ourselves/got an opportunity to eat in between photo sessions. Throughout the process, Yvonne was responsive, easy to work with, and hilarious! You will not regret working with Yvonne and her team!

r the client. Leading up to the day of, she was very clear and communicative in setting expectations for both us as the couple as well as herself the venue. It was helpful knowing those expectations because we knew exactly what to do and felt supported whenever we had questions. We were very fortunate to work with her for our wedding.

e and made sure she understood what was important to us for our special day. She is detailed oriented and made sure everything was perfect on the day of the wedding -- from the welcome sign to the cake cutting and the last dance! We knew we were in good hands on our wedding day and could focus on enjoying celebrating with family and friend instead of stressing about the little details. Yvonne handled it all and our wedding day turned out to be one of the most memorable days of our lives. We can't speak more highly of Yvonne. She is professional, thoughtful, personable and just a wonderful person. A year after our wedding, she invited us back to the wedding venue to have dinner and celebrate our one year anniversary. It was an incredibly warm gesture! We highly recommend Yvonne for planning any special occasions! She will go above and beyond to make sure your event will be Perfectly Planned!

and wants to ensure that you have the best experience possible. No detail is too small for her to notice and take care of. She approaches wedding planning and design with thoughtfulness, kindness, intelligence, and fun. This approach was consistent during our 2.5-year experience with her and the club (our wedding was initially March 2020 and was rescheduled to March 2022).

ietnamese culture. And I have to say Yvonne did just the job! Yvonne understood our wants/needs on the big day. Her attention to detail was superb. To ensure we had enough time for everything she carefully planned out our day knowing there were certain items we needed done on the day of. To start doorgames! Yvonne knew this would be the start of the day and generally may take some time of the games to finish, so she perfectly planned out various tasks/challenges that best suited the groom/groomsmen in addition to staying on track for our packed scheduled. Examples of some of the games: 1st round “How well do you know your wife” for every question wrong, each groomsman would have to carry the groom in a different “child” position since I used to be a babysitter. There were a few other rounds in between, but the last game was having them “sing” to me while the groomsmen either danced or was backup singers. Because Yvonne took the time the get to know the parties, she assigned dancers knowing some groomsmen wouldn’t, and preferred singing vice versa to make it fun and interesting. After the doorgames was the tea ceremony on my side (the brides) family. If anyone knows it gets very chaotic during the first few hours, with many family members crowding around, and having to have a new set of teacups and tea poured each time. Thankfully Yvonne knew ahead of time what was needed and was able to assign tasks for the bridal party to get ready. From the pillows on the floor, to the flow of tea being poured, we were able to go through each family we had to pour tea for in a timely manner. We had quite a lot of travel day of so Yvonne really helped our vendors keep on track. She was able to plan out the timing so that when we arrived at my husband’s side of the family the photographers were able to capture the first and last moments. Lastly our wedding reception. We had our celebration at a restaurant, so décor was something challenging to work with as the space couldn’t be changed too much. During this process Yvonne really helped captured what we both enjoyed/like. For starters the centerpieces. We didn’t want too much floral but also didn’t want empty tables. She came up with the idea of having fishbowls in every other table with goldfish to capture my husbands love for fishing, and we can raffle off the centerpieces. All in all, Yvonne was very organized and thoughtful throughout this process for my husband and I. She reminded us of what certain tasks needed to be done, even if we couldn’t make those deadlines, she was able to make it work for us. She ensured that we didn’t have to worry about the backend of things, and that we just needed to be present. I entirely trusted the process with her and thankful she took the time to sit with me to understand the wants and needs ahead of time and asked for my input as needed. The best decision for us was working with her and being open to her ideas.

al day! I highly recommend working with Yvonne. She is honest, genuine, and she helps you to understand all the details and costs that you may be anxious about. Hire her!!

vonne was a saint! Her communication was prompt, supportive, and always looking out for me and husbands best interest. All the changes went to the new date smoothly and everything leading up to the event was properly adjusted. When 2021 finally came around we were so excited to start the planning process again and with the help of Yvonne and the team it was perfect. The menu tasting was delicious and gave us a full scope of the evenings options. Yvonne provided great suggestions that allowed us to adjust our choices without having to taste them. She helped with my reception arrangement and all the decor. It was a true blessing to be able to explain my vision to Yvonne and have her bring it to light! The night went off without a hitch…she knew what to do and when to do it all at the perfect moment to ensure the day went perfectly. Beyond blessed to have had her by my side through this process.

confidence, all the while with a smile that reassures not only her clients and their guests, but also the staff and vendors working with her. Her knowledge and experience, along with her unstoppable energy, ensures that your event will be everything that's "perfectly planned."

punctual, organized and so kind! She made sure everything ran smoothly and she remembered every small detail. She kept the event moving along seamlessly. We love Yvonne and we were so happy that she was part of our special day! So much so that we returned for our Anniversary just to say 'hi'. Highly recommend her for event planning!

d also very thorough on everything my daughter had asked for. My daughter was living in Washington DC and I live in southern California so we could not just pop in and see Yvonne, so she was very responsive to our needs. The wedding went off without a hitch and she was there throughout to ensure everything went smoothly. The day was perfect and so many guests raved about the food and the service. I thought after the reception that we had to pack up all our personal items we brought for the wedding (chargers, easels, guest table items) Yvonne packed up everything for us and stored it in a safe location so that the next morning we loaded them into our vehicles. I would not hesitate to use her again. She was great!!

ur venue needs were met for the wedding day. On the day of our wedding, everything went so smoothly and we were able to fully enjoy the day. Highly recommend!

ings got overwhelming, Yvonne Lau came in and guided us. She was able to ease our fears about different wedding details, so we could focus on others. An example of this is our wedding menu. We explained to Yvonne we were looking for a menu to accommodate our Indian and Italian families. We threw a bunch of ideas at her and she ran with them. After our tasting, I wasn’t nervous any more, about anything. The food was amazing; I’ve never been to a wedding where so many people talked about how good the food was. She was extremely easy to work with, very professional and down to earth at the same time. We had a fantastic wedding that exceeded our expectations and Yvonne was a big reason why. We highly recommend her.

h, responsive to our input, personable, and professional. The day of our wedding, she coordinated all activities seamlessly and made the day super special for us. We highly recommend working with her!

our families for much help because we had Yvonne taking care of everything. She was very accommodating of our wishes from the smallest details like how we wanted our table setting to look like and how the welcome table should look to big things like the food options and making sure our spread was bountiful. Yvonne would also offer her expert opinions on things we weren't sure about like mixing table sizes to fit all our guests, general timeline for the day, and even built in time for hiding and resting to not feel overwhelmed day-of. You and your special day will be in such capable hands with Yvonne at the helm!

all of my calls and replied to my emails almost immediately. She always made me feel like I was her only client and her first concern. The week leading up to the wedding and the day of went off and not one single issue came up. If there was a problem, I never knew, and Yvonne handled it. Yvonne will be the first call I make when my other daughter gets married.

, Yvonne. From start to finish, Yvonne was organized, responsive and full of helpful advice and recommendations. We'd 100% recommend Yvonne's services and felt she was an integral part of executing our perfect day; coordinating with vendors while making sure we were clear on timelines (even managing questions from family!). She really had a vested interest in ensuring we enjoyed the event, as did our wedding guests.

iquely cared for. From our first meeting, through the email exchanges, tastings, rehearsals, and wedding day itself, she dedicated herself to executing on our vision, and providing guidance and advice where needed. Yvonne is a joy to be around with an infectious energy that we immediately connected with. Her emails back and forth were incredibly responsive and thorough. On the day of the wedding, she was super proactive and made sure all the pieces of the day moved like clockwork. At no point in the planning process or the wedding day did we have reason to worry about the items under Yvonne's direction, which allowed us to enjoy the day and be more present for each other. We're so thankful that Yvonne was our partner and cannot recommend her more.

nd I toured our wedding venue in the month we got engaged (September 2018) to her comforting words and presence just seconds before I walked down the aisle to my now husband (July 2019), Yvonne was right there. Any questions I had or just needed to run an idea through, Yvonne was there via phone, text, email, in person-you name it. Wedding planning is just plain stressful and you need that go to person there by your side (aside from your partner of course!) to help carry out your vision. Yvonne was there through all the good, the bad and the ugly to keep me sane through it all. I still get emotional thinking about her role as my wedding planner and how she went above and beyond for me every step of the way. These lasting memories, I will never forget. I highly recommend hiring Yvonne as your wedding planner for your upcoming wedding. She is an expert in her field and I can’t express how comforting it is to know you will be in good hands throughout this exciting chapter in your life.

coordinator, which was SUPER helpful. She was so timely and responsive via email about our questions, our 1million google docs, helped organize tastings with the kitchen, work through our selections and choices, and was just generally really great leading up to the big day. On the big day itself, the process went SO smoothly that I had EXTRA TIME to just hang around with my bridesmaids! Yvonne made sure that my husband and I got a special plate of hor d'oeuvres to make sure we didn't miss appetizers, and she was on point all night to make sure things happened on time. We were so glad that we got to work with Yvonne.

were lots of email exchanges, no question was too big or small. It was very reassuring to have her manage everything.

he was a thoughtful and energetic partner throughout the process - from mapping out the flow of the evening to making sure that all our vendors were where they needed to be. She was a great sounding board for our ideas and had plenty of her own, and she helped make our wedding truly be a reflection of who we are as a couple. And here's the kicker - she made it fun! So, simply put: Yvonne is damn good at her job and she's also a fantastic human being.

e was incredibly good with my parents and older family members the day of. Yvonne really took the time to get to know us and understand what our vision was and gave us great pointers and recommendations. She would always respond in a timely manner to my emails and texts and really memorized my day of plans. I felt I could completely trust her to execute and she did a stellar job following my rambling notes down to the tee. She literally made my wedding day what it was and I am so incredibly grateful for her. Anyone should consider themselves incredibly lucky and blessed to be working with Yvonne!
