Shelley began her career in the events industry as a consultant in a local floral boutique. She then moved on to creating community events within the City of Toronto, Parks and Recreation and Election Services departments. Moving from community events Shelley moved into a Special Events Coordinator position for a reputable resort in the Muskoka area. In this position she planned many weddings, conferences, retreats and recreational events. Moving back to the city, with years of event planning experience under her belt, a creative eye and thirst for design, Shelley completed her certification and became a Floral and Décor Designer. With so many years of event planning and designing experience, it was only natural Shelley decided to create Wedding Wows. After three years of operation and feeling the need to expand further, Shelley Da Silva and the owner of One of a Kind Weddings & Events, Sonia Gonzalez, decided to merge together and create Creative Style Event Design Inc.

After graduating from Humber with a diploma in Creative Photography, Sonia jumped into the industry as a freelance wedding photographer. After a couple of years of documenting weddings, Sonia moved on to serving as a Sales Consultant for a reputable DJ company. Feeling the need to become more involved with brides, Sonia then moved on to become a consultant in a bridal salon.  With an extreme ability to learn, she quickly moved into a management position within the Canadian head office for a large bridal wear manufacturer. Within her management position, her main duty was to create exciting events for all her national buyers and sales reps, this began her thirst for the event industry. Sonia quickly obtained a Certificate in Event Management from Humber College and Certification in Wedding Coordination through The Wedding Planners Institute of Canada.  One of a Kind Weddings & Events was then born.  With a great attention to detail and the ability to orchestrate any wedding or event to the clients taste, enabled Sonia’s company to rise quickly. During this time Sonia met Shelley Da Silva and an instant bond was created. After three successful years Sonia and Shelley decided to join forces and create Creative Style Event Design Inc., the powerhouse of creative design and execution behind the Wedding wows and One of a Kind Weddings name.
