Juliet reacts by being devastated. She knows that she is already married to Romeo but her parents want her to marry Paris. She would rather marry Romeo, the love of her life, than a guy that she does not even love one bit.

He doesn't, because his mind is on other things. It is only afterward, after he has killed Paris, that he recalls having heard that he was going to marry Juliet.

Was Juliet consulted about the marriage?

About the one with Paris? No, not really. She is told in Act 1 that Paris is interested in marrying her, and that she should check him out at the party. Of course she is otherwise engaged with Romeo and doesn't take much notice of Paris. (The Luhrmann film does this rather well.) As for setting the date of the marriage to Paris, Capulet does this without consulting Juliet first, and then is placed in an embarrassing position when it turns out that Juliet does not want to marry Paris after all. As is typical of people who make assumptions about how other people feel and think, he gets mad at her for disproving his assumption.

Act 4 Scene 1: Juliet visits Friar Laurence for help, while everyone else thinks Juliet went to the Friar to make a confession.Act 4 Scene 4: The Capulets are all in a giddy mood preparing for the marriage that day.
