History
My name is Monica Watson. I have an Event Management Certificate from Mount Royal University as well as a Certificate in Fashion Marketing from Olds College. My creative flare and intuitive ideas have helped me put together many fabulous and fun events in the past. I have been working with Jasmine and the Reflections team since Aug 2010 and the experience and the knowledge that I have obtained from her is priceless.

What made you want to become an event professional?

Honestly, I don't know exactly when I knew but I have always been super organized and the planner in my group of friends. After some time I was told about the Event Management Program at Mount Royal and once I was enrolled I knew I had found my passion. One of the happiest and most exciting days of your life will probably be your wedding day; having the privilege of assisting you create the most memorable day of your life is a remarkable feeling. I enjoy meeting new people and the joy that occupies me when helping others and seeing them happy is a truly irreplaceable feeling. It's all about the details; I love organizing and bringing everything together to create a memory that you will cherish forever.


What's your favorite part about working with clients?

I have two favorite parts of working with clients, my first favorite is getting to know them on a personal level.  I believe that everyone of the couples I have worked with are meant to be and it's great to witness this true love between them.  


My other favorite part is creating a design for the clients that is exactly what they had pictured.  When I get to show them the room on their wedding day it is quite an amazing feeling to see their huge smiles and even tears of happiness sometimes. 


Whether I coordinate and/or design the wedding of their dream nothing feels better than exceeding expectations of the couple and their family. My job is completing the perfect wedding based on the couples vision.


What is your design style?

My style seems to be changing all the time.  One thing I do love is bling, I mean who doesn't.  Beyond that I would describe my style as fun and modern. I also don't like seeing the same thing over and over.  My job is to work with my clients color palette and vision, it's a lot of fun to create a design based on what they want to see, my own wedding will be based on my own style but until then I enjoy creating events based on the couples style.


What do you like to do for fun?

I really enjoy snowboarding, hiking and camping. My family, friends and boyfriend are also very important to me and I love spending time with them. I am also quite the wine enthusiast, I love drinking wine but I also make wine at home.  

 

If you could have 3 wishes granted what would they be?

1. Backpack across Asia

2. Good Health for me, friends and family

3. Free 2 week vacation with a huge group of family and friends
