Tammie Hawkins: For The Do-It-Your Self

Tammie Hawkins says that she is not in the habit of sharing trade secrets on a public forum, but doesn’t mind sharing some tips with the readers of her blog.

She is the founder and CEO of Hawkins Events, LLC, a Los Angeles-based Special Events planning company.

“Above all, make sure that it is a meaningful event. This is guaranteed to make it a success!”
