Meet Tess
Meet Tess! Your sandy-toed, sun-kissed nosed, event planner who swapped the desert dunes of El Paso, Texas, for the breathtaking beaches of North Padre Island back in 2023. Once a desert rat, now a dedicated beach bum, Tess lives on Padre, but works in Port Aransas. She is an Islander through and through! If not at work, you will likely find her on the beach or out on the water!
Tess has two young adult boys making waves away at college, her heart beats with pride and love for them. Her children are her world, and they inspire her every day to infuse joy and warmth into everything she does.
As a lifelong event planner armed with a marketing degree, Tess has a knack for turning ordinary moments into extraordinary memories. Whether it's a beachfront romantic event, or a surfside gathering with the family, Tess and Jim will bring a touch of oceanic magic to every event.
