About Tessa
Tessa started learning harp aged eleven after being inspired by a harpist performing in her home town of Taunton, Somerset. Alongside studying Music at University in Kent, she has performed in many concerts and recitals. She performs regularly at weddings and corporate events and has over two decades of experience. Tessa has also taught the harp privately to students at several schools in both Kent and Dorset.
Tessa now lives in North Kent with her husband Sam and two sons Luca and Rio. After taking a break during those precious early years of parenthood, Tessa is pleased to be taking bookings again and performing across the South-East and beyond. She travels regularly across the South of England in order to provide an elegant musical service at a range of events.
Some Comments from Clients
'We’re on our way home from a wonderful honeymoon, remembering that this time last week we were enjoying listening to you playing. You played so beautifully and we had so many comments afterwards about this perfect accompaniment to the start of our reception'
(Anne and William, December 2012)
'Tessa's beautiful harp playing can elevate any event to a stand out occasion. Tessa has played aboard the sailing barge Edith May for the past 3 years at Valentines and we would not even consider running the event if she was not involved – the music makes the evening and Tessa always looks stylish and graceful whilst playing.'

(Allison and Kelvin, May 2012)
'Having Tessa playing at our wedding brought a sense of calm and serenity to an otherwise frenetic day. She was a wonderful addition to the ceremony and we lost count of the number of nice comments from friends and family about her playing and almost ethereal presence up there by the altar. We simply can't recommend Tessa enough'
