Your Planner
Meet Yingka Chou
GC’s corporate planner, with over a thousand events behind her.
Over more than twenty years she has personally designed and managed more than a thousand events, across corporate events, celebrity charity galas and red carpet gifting suites, for names like the American Cancer Society, CNN Heroes, the BET Awards and the Grammy Museum. A USC graduate with a degree in interpersonal communications and business organisation, she is an obsessively organised planner who stays calm and precise under pressure, the kind who keeps a complex event on track without losing a single detail. Her background as a floral and event designer means she sees both the logistics and the look, so your event runs on time and lands the way it should.

What We Handle
One Team, From
Plan to Production
From corporate event planning to full corporate event production, one team covers it. This is event planning for businesses run the way it should be: Yingka leads the planning, GC brings the production in house, from the first call to the final load out. Unlike corporate event planning companies that hand production to a third party, or corporate event production companies that only handle the technical side, GC does both.

One Roof
Production, Entertainment & Design, all Engineered In-House

- Dance floors
- DJ, MC & silent disco
- Floral & event design
- Event videography & 360 video
- Photo activations & booths
- Event lighting & custom gobos
- LED video walls, screens & projectors

Yingka builds the plan
Yingka builds a clear plan and an itemised budget you can take back to your team. Nothing is booked until you approve it.
We coordinate everything
We source and manage every vendor, build the run of show and prepare the production in house, so you are never chasing suppliers.
We run it on the day
One team runs it from setup to close, planning and production together, so you can be present at your own event instead of managing it.
How It Works
How we think about cost
Every programme is scoped to what it actually needs, so cost is driven by a few things more than any single line item. You get a clear, itemised budget after the discovery call, with no hidden charges, so you can take a real number back to your team.

The things buyers ask us first
How far ahead should we book?
