"Donna with Amethyst Star Ventures has a warmth and energy you can feel before you ever meet her. She provided us with options for our event and helped point us in the right direction. We had a photo template and backdrop perfect for our theme. Even with a small technical issue, Donna and James were kind, helpful and professional. Before, during and after the event the team was communicative, quick to respond and an overall pleasure to work with."
