About Us
Meet the staff of Ame Soeur Events! Each of us contributes to the success of your event and are honored to be of service to you!
Donna Aleman
Donna is the owner and principle coordinator for Ame Soeur Events. She has completed coursework with NECI (Nuptials Essentials Curriculum and Instruction) as well as Austin Community College in the field of Floral Design. Donna's vast experience in coordinating luncheons, Father Daughter Dances, Weddings and Fundraising Events contributes to her success as a Wedding Coordinator. Weddings are dear to her heart because they are happy ocassions that she can assist in and truly make a difference. She has assisted in over 50 weddings that were all unique and provided great learning experiences for her and her staff. Tight budgets are not a deterrent to Donna, her abilities in planning within a tight budget far out weigh the obstacles that may be keeping a bride from planning further. Her attention to budget and detail allows her to show her clients how they will be able to have the event of their dreams regardless the size of the budget.
Donna has always had a desire to own her own business. When her daughter announced her engagement, Donna went into "planning" mode and found Kindred Oaks. Her daughter and future son-in-law fell in love with the venue, and unbeknownst to Donna; her career as a wedding coordinator was launched! Steve and Elaine Lincoln asked her to join their family as their on-site wedding coordinator and she has happily been a part of the Kindred Oaks family for the past four and half years. Donna's heart is with every mother who has ever had to plan an event as big as a wedding, then "works" the wedding and finds out that she has no memory of that night, other than her feet are killing her! 
Samantha Hardcastle
Samantha is the newest addition to Ame Soeur Events. She comes to us an Intern but only for the time being. Samantha is a graduate of Texas State University with a degree in Interior Design and minor in Technology. She is a community minded individual who was involved in project planning with Bobcat Built for Texas State's ASID chapter, Habitat for Humanity for Texas State's ASID chapter and Goliad's Community Center Development. She discovered a desire to plan weddings at the age of 13 when she took part in her brother's wedding. She loved seeing all the details come together to create on unforgettable day!
She is organized, self motivated, adapts well to change, is a problem solver with a strong desire to achieve any project she starts. She loves to work with people and there is always a method to her "madness"!
Bekah Aleman And Corina Villa
Bekah (left) is the senior member of our Production Crew. She is a go-getter who takes the reins in guiding the set up of many of our events. She has been on the Ame Soeur Events team since day 1 and only gets better at what she does with each event. We're hoping that she will one day want to also be a coordinator like her mom!
Corina is the "newest" member of our Production Crew. She is currently attending Austin Community College working on her nursing degree. She's been with us a little bit over a year and has become an ace when it comes to set up and decor. Corina has been a valuable asset to the Ame Soeur Events Team.
Sheila Hart
Sadly Sheila left us in December 2009! We miss her tremendously! She is just as much the heart and soul of Ame Soeur Events as any of it's other members. She's amazing and Austin will be less an exciting place without her!!!! We're keeping her picture up because we just know that she will return to Austin one day and our family will be complete once again!
