I AM DESTIN -
Tammy D’Agostino
What is your hometown, what brought you to the Emerald
Coast, and how long have you been here?
I was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, but spent 13 years in Los Angeles
before moving to the Destin area in 2005. I relocated to this area after
meeting my future husband on a family vacation back in Summer 2004.
What is your profession and give a brief description of what
you do?
I own an event planning and catering company called The Eventful
Planner.
What led you to choose this profession?
I grew up in Mississippi where entertaining is almost a religion. Once
I moved to California and saw events on such a grand scale in the
Hollywood area, I knew immediately that parties were my calling!
I feel my company, The Eventful Planner, combines the charm of
entertaining in the South with a California culinary twist.
What do you like best about Destin and what makes it
unique?
I was born and raised in a small town and after living in such a large city
in California I was really excited to get back to a close-knit community. I
think the beautiful beaches coupled with the Southern hospitality makes
this an amazing and unique place to live.
Three words that best describe you.
Creative, Driven, Fiercely Loyal
Favorite Things you like about Destin.
The beautiful beaches, the entrepreneurial spirit and the fact that Destin
is such a charitable community.
I AM DESTIN because…
I embody the entrepreneurial spirit that this city showcases. I started my
own small business here in 2005 and it’s thriving in this community that
I not only live in, but love to play in.
