True Professional
Carmen helped make our big day very special & took the time to listen to what my wife and I wanted. Carmen is professional and friendly, and made our ceremony unique to us. Carmen took the time to get to know my fiancé and I, and I felt like at the end of our wedding I had gained a friend.

Great experience!
Carmen was wonderful to work with! We hired her just for officiant services but she was willing to answer any other questions we had and gave us some tips. Her communication was great. With her help, were able to come up with a short and sweet ceremony that perfectly represented my husband and me.Carmen was wonderful to work with!

Detailed, Professional, and Knowledgeable
Carmen helped us with every detail of our wedding (including the ones we didn't even think about) and ensured we were on-track throughout the entire year, despite us only hiring her for the 6-week period! She was available on the phone just about every time I had questions and came up with solutions to problems on the fly. Her 30+ year experience shows!Carmen helped us with every detail of our wedding (including the ones we didn't even think about) and ensured we were on-track throughout the entire year, despite us only hiring her for the 6-week period!

Carmen really knows her stuff!
We had Carmen Hocking as an officiant and she was super helpful! She re-worked our ceremony several times until it was just what we wanted. She also gave us lots of names of other vendors and advice about our wedding. She kept people organized on the day of the wedding. Our ceremony was beautiful and we had lots of comments about how great Carmen was!We had Carmen Hocking as an officiant and she was super helpful!

The Wedding Was Perfect
The wedding took a lot of work, but Carmen helped us with all of it. She recommended venues, vendors, decorations, and officiated for us. On the wedding day, everything went perfectly. I thought it was quite miraculous how well it went, considering how many details had to come together.The wedding took a lot of work, but Carmen helped us with all of it.

We highly recommend Carmen Hocking!
We were recommended to her when we had reached out to another contact that fell through. Our first call was very thorough discussing our relationship and the type of ceremony we envisioned. Once we got a copy of the ceremony, we worked on a couple of rounds of revisions and Carmen was receptive to all our changes. Our wedding was at The Elms and Carmen had led ceremonies there before so that made it really easy as the staff were comfortable with her and vice versa. Carmen was very responsive and just a delight to work with. Thanks, Carmen!We were recommended to her when we had reached out to another contact that fell through.

Happy couple
A Beautiful Wedding is definitely a great choice for several services. We had Carmen help plan our wedding and also officiate it and people were telling us how beautiful everything was. She is very easy to work with and she also has a fun sense of humor and had us so relaxed during the whole process. We will recommend her to everyone we know getting married.A Beautiful Wedding is definitely a great choice for several services.

Best Day Ever
We worked closely with Carmen from A Beautiful Wedding. Carmen is very professional in every way, dedicated to her job as a wedding planner and she was always ready to assist us when we needed to talk with her. She was fun to work with, always arrived before we did every time for an appointment and she always had a smile and knew when we needed an unbiased opinion. She is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of weddings and we asked a lot of questions and that is why we chose to work with her. We highly recommend Carmen and A Beautiful Wedding.We worked closely with Carmen from A Beautiful Wedding.

Stress free completely personalized event planner!
Carmen coordinated a very special event for us on May 21, 2021. We had a party celebrating life after life threatening illness. Carmen’s guidance, timing and suggestions were perfect, from the venue, the wonderful caterer, the DJ, the bartender, the vendors that enhanced the experience, even bringing us a personalized taste testing of signature cocktail recipes. And we did it all for about $15 a person! Gourmet food and special desserts, drinks, great music, special experiences like henna, caricatures, chair massage, body art, fun party favors, all in a beautiful outdoor setting. Our guests rave about this unique fun uplifting experience. She is an amazing event coordinator.Carmen coordinated a very special event for us on May 21, 2021.

Just perfection.
Carmen was so easy to work with. I could not have asked for a better officiant. Several guests came up to us later and said what a great job she did writing the ceremony; they said the flow, wording, and presentation were just perfect...and I agree! She was just so kind and made sure we were 100 percent comfortable.Carmen was so easy to work with. I could not have asked for a better officiant.

A M-O-G’s best ally!
Carmen helped coordinate my son’s surprise proposal last week. The bride lives in Kansas and we live in Houston. He carefully planned the surprise proposal but Covid times meant we would not be able to participate in his big day. Carmen was instrumental in helping me support my son at a distance. The proposal took place at a park. Carmen took it upon herself to drive to the park to asses it’s layout and best way to decorate. The park was 1 hour drive for her!!
She quickly understood what I wanted and was very supportive. She is responsive via phone, text and emails. She never made me feel like she was “too busy” for me or my questions. Her set up exceeded my expectations!! The flowers, linens and disposable tableware were absolutely beautiful!! The tables looked elegant and festive! Carmen was on time with her set up, and everyone who was able to attend loved how it looked. It was easy to take care of paying her via Venmo and thanks to Carmen’s taste and professionalism the event was a success!

Last minute savior!
Thanks to a very close nit network we were referred to Carmen and she was wonderful! We had a last minute cancellation on us from another officiant and Carmen rose to the occasion drove over 1 1/2 hours for my best friends wedding and even wrote a customized ceremony that was beautiful! She was so easy to work with and I’m so grateful she was able to help give the bride and groom a nice ceremony!
