Vendor Safety Advisory: "A Man With A Plan" Allegations Circulating in DFW

Editor''s note. This is an active, evolving advisory. We have drafted it as protective guidance for families and vendors in the DFW metroplex while public reports continue to circulate. We update it as new facts arrive. The advisory does not assert that any specific crime occurred — it summarizes what is being publicly reported and tells you what to do if you have already paid this operator.

What this advisory is about

A wedding and quinceañera planner operating in the Dallas–Fort Worth area as "A Man With A Plan" and "Man With A Plan Events" is the subject of viral social-media reports (see Sources 1, 2, 3). Multiple posts allege that the operator — known publicly by the first name Luis — collected deposits or full payments from brides and quinceañera families, then failed to pay subcontracted vendors (photographers, DJs, production companies), generated fake invoices, and went unresponsive when families asked for receipts or service. Per a video posted by a DFW photographer on April 29, 2026, $51,000+ is reportedly owed to NRG Productions alone (Source 1). An Instagram complaint from October 2025 appears to be the earliest public account, claiming fake invoices and over $3,500 paid (Source 4).

These are allegations made on social media. QuinceNetwork has not independently verified each claim. We are publishing this advisory because the volume and pattern of reports — across Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram — is large enough that DFW families currently planning quinceañeras deserve a clear, sourced summary and a path to protect themselves.

If you have paid this operator: do this today

1. Stop sending money. Do not make any additional payments while you investigate, even if you are told they are required to "release" a vendor or "secure" a date.
2. Dispute via your card issuer. If you paid by credit or debit card, call the number on the back of the card and open a dispute. Federal rules generally give you 60 days from the statement date to contest a charge. Cite "services not rendered" and reference the public reports.
3. File with the Texas Attorney General Consumer Protection Division. texasattorneygeneral.gov.
4. File a Dallas Police Department report if money or services were stolen. A police case number strengthens any chargeback and any civil claim.
5. Report to the BBB Scam Tracker so other families searching the business name see the warning.

File a report with QuinceNetwork

If you have a contract, invoice, deposit receipt, or message history with this operator, you can file a formal report with QuinceNetwork — even though the operator is not on our platform. Choose "Report an off-platform vendor" on the report page after signing in.

Your evidence becomes part of a private case file reviewed by our Trust & Safety team. We use these reports to corroborate the public timeline and to update this advisory. We never publish identifying details of reporters, and we never publish raw allegations — only patterns supported by multiple, evidenced reports.

Red flags this case illustrates

Every line below is a pattern families and vendors should look for in any planner — not just this one.

• "DM for pricing" without a written rate sheet. Real planners publish their packages.
• Deposits sent to personal Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle accounts rather than a business merchant account. Personal-payment apps strip almost every consumer-protection right you would have on a credit card.
• No written contract or a contract with no cancellation, refund, or vendor-substitution terms.
• Subcontractors paid late or not at all. Ask any planner for two photographer and two DJ references and call them. A planner who stiffs the vendors they hire will eventually stiff you.
• Pressure to pay in full to "lock the date" weeks or months before the event.
• Going unresponsive after the deposit clears. A legitimate planner has a check-in cadence and answers within a business day.

We invited a response

We are publishing this advisory only as a summary of public reports. If you are the operator of "A Man With A Plan" or "Man With A Plan Events" and you would like to respond on the record, please send your statement to quincebookings@gmail.com or file your account of events through /report-vendor. We will publish your response in full or update this advisory to reflect new facts within one business day of receipt.
