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.
