Welcome to 'A Beautiful Wedding' by Carmen Hocking

"No one helps you plan your "I do's" better than I do!"

Congratulations, on your engagement and approaching marriage!

You are about to start planning the wedding you have always dreamed of. I hope you will allow me to offer my expertise.  I have met and been inspired by many of the best suppliers in the wedding business. I have also had the privilege of meeting hundreds of brides at every stage of their planning, gaining valuable insight into their dream wedding.

Everyone can have a Beautiful Wedding!

It is possible to plan a beautiful wedding within a limited budget. True wedding style is not all about money. A beautiful wedding is about love and respect and letting your personality shine.

A Beautiful Wedding is a full service Wedding Consulting company specializing in independent consulting. I specialize in bringing about unique and memorable celebrations of love.

I believe that success as a Wedding Consultant lies in helping clients:

  • Create a wedding that is "uniquely you"      
  • Stay within budget - great or small
  • Bring their vision of the special day to reality

A good wedding consultant pays for themselves.  They become part of the wedding budget, not an added expense.

Make Your Wedding as Unique as You Are

Your wedding will be one of the most important events in your life. This day should be all about the love between two people and the friends and family they share that love with. Finally you can say "It's all about me."  You should feel like a guest at your own wedding.

A Beautiful Wedding gives your wedding the expert attention it so richly deserves. I will capture your dream and handle each phase of the planning. I have the experience to assist you down to the smallest detail. 

I can assist you in selecting the right professional for every detail, from your flowers and photography to entertainment and transportation.  Each of the vendors you choose with my assistance are selected for their professionalism and attention to detail.  Each vendor I work with has personally been screened.

I specialize in creating dream weddings that are "uniquely you", romantic in every detail and that perfectly reflect your style. From the initial stages of the planning process, I will take steps to ensure that the entire process is a pleasure.

An event with such high expectations should not be left to chance!  I would be honored to help you plan your special day, and to have taken a part in one of your most beloved memories.

Do you have the right Consultant?

The most important aspect in hiring a vendor is finding your comfort level with that person. I am always happy to meet with you and discuss what I can do to assist in your planning and see if our personalities mesh.

I will have the priviledge of your trust in assisting with the most important day of your lives. . . I want you to feel comfortable and at ease with me. 


My Philosophy

From this time forward, from the "yes" to the "I Do's" and forever more, your happiness begins.

A beautiful wedding is about the details. Every decision, big or small, from the wording on your invitations to the shoes your attendants will wear says something about your personal style.  Attention to detail is the driving force behind my business - which starts with listening closely to my client's vision.

A beautiful wedding is also about working as a team with your wedding vendors, weighing your vision with their expert advice.  This is the way to get the most for your money.

Experts estimate that the average bride makes over 250 major decisions during the wedding planning process. To add to this, many of you are moving, working full time, combining families and advancing your education.  With today's busy lifestyles, couples are finding that an experienced Wedding Consultant can be an invaluable asset and relieve much of the stress associated with such an important event.

Your wedding day is special to me and I can assure you that I will help design the wedding of your dreams.  I can provide professional and knowledgeable service which give you peace of mind, reassurance and satisfaction. I may even exceed your expectations.

Let your "happily ever after" begin with A Beautiful Wedding and you will soon discover that planning for your important day has never been easier. I will take care of the details while you take home the memories of a lifetime.
