After organizing her own wedding in 2011, she missed the rush and excitement of the planning process, so she signed up for an event &#038; wedding planning course at QC Career School and is now a certified IEWP. Melissa has since planned her fair share of parties; bridal and baby showers, engagements, anniversaries, event d\u00e9cor coordination, and more recently, organized her first full wedding as a professional.<\/p>\n<p>When her son was born in 2013, Melissa adopted the Work-at-Home-Mom lifestyle and started her own business; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/labellefille85\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00c0 Th\u00e9 Souhaits, Event Planning &#038; Design<\/a>. Inspired by tea parties, old fashion romance and vintage decor, Melissa uses her artistic talent and attention to details to create beautiful moments of timeless elegance.

Weddings have been my passion for as long as I can remember. I always had a pencil and a sketchbook wherever I went and would usually draw princess gowns. I was 21 when I had my first planning experience. My sisters and I organized a surprise 25th wedding anniversary for our parents at a restaurant with 30 guests, a professional cake, invitations, the works! But I only discovered my true love for event planning after I got married in September 2011. Afterwards, I felt my wedding had come and gone but something was missing. A month later, I signed up at QC Event Planning. Best decision EVER!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/melissa-nault-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"http:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/melissa-nault-1.jpg\" alt=\"Event Planner Melissa Nault Graduate feature\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/melissa-nault-1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/melissa-nault-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=highlight><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_did_you_enjoy_most_about_your_course_with_QC\"><\/span><b>What did you enjoy most about your course with QC?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What I enjoyed most was the tranquility and ease of doing the course at my own pace.

I was also hired to plan a wedding a few month before graduating. It was a full-A-Z job, but it came in handy during the final project. It was really great, hands-on experience. The wedding was this past August 2014: a sweet, urban-chic affair right here in Montreal.

It would work well with my husband\u2019s culinary delights (he would like to start a catering business to complement my event planning business when the time is right) After that, who knows.
