I cannot express enough gratitude for Del and her team! Besides being the best wedding planner, Del is a supportive mentor, loving friend, and overall incredible woman. I had the most magical day and I owe it all to Delcina for the experience and knowledge she has given me, for her generous and patient soul, and for the genuine gift of her presence. Teresa is a fabulous rockstar! She is dependable and such a joy to be around! Also thank you to Hailey for being a great help on wedding day. Thank you endlessly to Del and team fab. The Hus are your biggest fans! -

So I was one of those foolish people who thought they could throw an great wedding of over 100 people without a planner and NOT turn crazy. And crazy I did, until I nearly lost my mind and came to find Delcina. I had met her at wedding vendor event and her personality and honesty in our very short interaction left a great impression on me even months later, which says a lot for someone who cant remember someone's name 3 seconds after they just told me. As detailed as I am, there were things that I hadn't even thought about, let alone have the time to think about. Having her on our team allowed us to think less on what finish the table numbers should be (hint: no one really cares) and more about our guests experiences and how they will remember that night! She was able to take over the reigns from where I had left off planning and bring the whole vision together, it was more beautiful than I could have even imagined it!! The day of, she went out of her way to make sure I was calm and comfortable and able to actually enjoy it and BE IN THE MOMENT! ( a far cry from when I was attempting to do this all myself!) There were small issues that popped up here and there but she and Hailey (sp? ) were so on it I never found out about it unless someone mentioned it after the wedding, and by then...who cares, it all worked out to everyone's satisfaction and all were happy. (any isssues were my own fault btw so extra points for them) I've been to weddings where you wonder whats happening, who's in charge, where's the coordinator, no such questions here! I am so glad we were able to work with her and her team, they are no slouch, they are the A team! -

Raegan Sent on 01/16/2018The BEST WEDDING Planner in Houston Hands Down! She comes through and goes over and beyond for our wedding and really for all her brides. She listens, she's prepared, and she gives you unlimited meetings. She's actually CARES and is sincerely excited about your day and when she steps in she is 100 committed- unlike wavering friends and family. Del helped me accomplished so much-from helping me pick out my dress, fittings, our invites, cake tastings, to florist and dj run-throughs. She even took the time out an planned an entire day of dress shopping for my Bridesmaids. She can handle everything for you so you won't have to stress. Most importantly she will negotiate the best deals with your vendors on your behalf. I cannot put in words how cost beneficial this is. Del gave my Husband and I the wedding we dreamed about for the fraction of the cost. She also gave me the most FABULOUS, Bridal- Magazine Worthy Tea at the St. Regis Houston. My guests are still raving about my Bridal Shower and my Wedding at the Bell Tower. Her vendors are also the most talented in Houston and she comes with a TEAM of experts. Do yourself a favor and hire Delcina Hagley. I couldn't imagine planning a wedding or any other major event without her. Booking Del for our wedding was really the best decision we ever made.

User1410376 Sent on 10/30/2013Fabulous Beginnings By Delcina & Co. this company is truly amazing. At my engagement party on September 7th I had 65 guest in attendance and I was able to focus on mingling and enjoying myself because Delcina and her assistant handled EVERYTHING from beginning to end. All my guest raved about Delcina's professionalism and how pleasant she was. This woman is the real deal, I would recommend her to EVERYONE because she is on point. It was my pleasure to work her and I look forward to doing more business with this company in the near future. -

I will start by saying I have never written a negative review in my life, but absolutely do not hire Delcina Hagley as your wedding (or any event) planner. I wish I could give her zero stars. She will charm you with her seemingly fun and positive attitude, but once you sign the contract, she disappears. She is near impossible to get ahold of, and when you do get ahold of her, she makes you feel like a complete burden and like you are on the back burner throughout the entire process. When Del came up in conversation with other vendors in the industry and with some of her previous clients, our frustrations were very much shared. The few times we did meet, it seemed we were doing all the ground work and she was just catching up—asking the same questions over and over. Nothing ever got anywhere. Her loyalty lies with the vendors she pushes on you, not with her clients. I would go months without hearing from her and eventually just accepted the fact we would do everything, and hopefully she would just pull through on wedding day. Fingers crossed! Well to top it all off, after already postponing our wedding once, we made the difficult decision to cancel our wedding reception (and only reception) due to Covid, but told Del we would still be getting married that day. Still getting ready in the morning, still having vendors, still having a ceremony, and then an intimate celebration at our home with close friends and family. We told her along with her services, we would also be using hair and makeup, florals, cake, photo, and video in some capacity. We made this crystal clear to Del that we would still be getting married and in need of her services, which were already paid for in FULL. When I didn’t hear from her for weeks, I reached out to her to schedule our final planning appointment, she informed me that she would NOT be at our wedding, claimed we had cancelled her services (why would we cancel a planner we had paid for in full when we were still having a wedding?), and had “already booked another event”. I honestly could not believe what I was reading! We were never anything but respectful and kind despite the horrible service, and I remained calm and positive throughout the entire process of re-planning our wedding three times. Ironically, the wedding planner who should have been easing stress, caused more stress than anyone or anything. The wedding day ended up being filled with so much love and happiness, and was more beautiful than anything we could have ever dreamed of, and honestly was better without her there. But, if you are looking for an established, professional, trustworthy, responsive, reliable, or genuinely kind and caring wedding planner, Del is NOT it.Fabulous Beginnings By Delcina & Co.'s reply:
I appreciate you leaving a review. Everyone is entitled to their opinion of the circumstances. You gave them yours, here is mine.
You were entitled, disrespectful, and passive aggressive. You were a referral. You attended a beautiful $250,000+, wedding, that I planned and designed, with a full planning client. Rachel you and your Mother expected the same services with less than a fraction of that budget. I did my absolute best to manage your expectations from the very beginning, while working through your budget constraints. I even gave you an enormous referral discount, all to keep you under budget. Comparing Full Planning & Partial Planning -Lite are completely different packages and services, you wanted and needed full planning, and we compromised with a reduced partial planning package.
In the beginning we had a great professional relationship. In the end, I fulfilled every appointment, and task in your package and then some, always giving you extra. When Covid happened, it happened to the world! Yet I was still here, helping you along the way. Of course, you didn’t mention that I Postponed your wedding in the height of the pandemic. I reached out & coordinated a new wedding date with your 12+ Vendors & Venues over a two-week period, and then 3 months later you decided to cancel your wedding.
During our update appointment in July, when you decided to make me the scapegoat for COVID, instead of blaming it on the actual pandemic, you said my services were no longer needed. After firing me, a month later, you then proceeded to try to re-hire me/ bully me back into planning, after watching me post my Micro-Weddings on social Media. Meanwhile in that month that I was “dismissed’, I still cancelled your wedding, at your request, with all of your vendors, and venues and even got you THOUSANDS in refunds. Yet here we are. In our emails, I tried, and tried, and tried with you, I forgave your condescending tone, and dismissive behavior until finally It was enough.
Never mind that I was the only Vendor that had to endure your toxic attitude for the past year, even through the disrespect I remained professional and helpful. I paid to keep you on our planning software, months after Covid at no additional fees or cost…during a pandemic! You were consistently rude, your sweet mother had to interrupt you on several occasions as it was even too much for her. Rachel you consistently belittled me every single chance you got. This was an intimidating and extremely stressful environment filled with threats and lies, and I’m not surprised that you would stoop to lying at this point.
I’m glad my beautiful Vendors that I referred to you, along with my Itinerary and floorplans, helped you have a wonderful day. If I was so terrible, why did you fire me and then try to apologize and re-hire me a month later? I’m glad you wrote this review. I would prefer that this exchange would detract someone like you into booking us. Wishing you the best, and waiting for our day in court – #KeepUpTheSLANDER - Xo Del
