Talented and hardworking violinist!

Jesse did an absolutely beautiful job as the violinist at our wedding ceremony!! She was a joy to work with during the whole wedding planning process. I had no issues with getting a hold of her ever, and she followed every little detail I requested of her to a T! She has a huge repertoire of all sorts of different music and is sure to already know something that you would love to have as part of your ceremony. For our ceremony, she played music ranging from classical to pop love songs to the Legend of Zelda! She really tailored the playlist to exactly what we wanted for our wedding. And she plays so beautifully!! As a violinist myself, I really appreciated her talent. Walking down the aisle after we were married to Fly Me to the Moon being played on the violin was truly a magical moment. We are so grateful to Jesse for helping make our wedding a fairytale!! Plus, she is an incredibly positive person to work with—I always felt that she was so excited for us and excited to make our ceremony vision a reality! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding ceremony musician or a violinist for any event!

Beautiful experience!

Working with Jesse and Kurtis was super special for our big day. We had a call to kick off what we were looking for. They came forward with options but also allowed us to pick songs that worked for us.

The songs we picked did not have sheet music for their instruments easily found online so Kurtis wrote them to fit their needs! That was so special they took the time to do this.

Jesse is also amazing to work with. She is extremely communicative and asks all the right questions. We appreciate their attentiveness to us and their professionalism. We highly recommend A Note of Elegance. Having them play was truly a special experience to have on our big day.

Amazing and Super Easy to Arrange

I’m so glad that I hired A Note of Elegance for my wedding ceremony. The process was extremely easy and convenient. We discussed via email and text and they sent a list of song options ranging from classical music to more modern songs. I gave them the time of the ceremony and my list of songs and they took care of the rest. I didn’t have to worry about anything. It was so incredibly convenient and I was able to focus on other things. I highly recommend!

Jesse Parker
Jesse Parker
Proprietress & Lead Planner

Hi there! I'm Jesse Erin Parker and I'm the lead planner and proprietress for A Note of Elegance!

I started A Note of Elegance in 2013 after graduating from the Crane School of Music with a degree in violin performance.

Nothing makes me happier than celebrating love and music! A Note of Elegance began with an emphasis on performing at weddings providing music for clients during their ceremonies and cocktail hours.

In 2015, I got engaged to the love of my life and since then, Kurtis and I have been performing at events together as a duo!

Over the years I began helping clients with different aspects of event planning in many capacities including weddings, charity events, and recitals. I'm naturally a detail-oriented person and decided I wanted to take the next step and officially turn to the planning side of events in addition to the musical aspects.

I work hard to make sure that I stay up on current trends and always continue learning. As a result of that, I've recently graduated from the QC Event School as a certified event and wedding planner. I pride myself on turning dreams into realities and I don't stop until my clients receive the fairytale they deserve!

I live in Binghamton, NY with my wonderful husband, our toy poodle Jack, and two cats Smokey and Layla.

In my free time I enjoy reading, baking, and traveling!

I firmly believe that life is better when you love what you do and I'm so thankful for the opportunity to be able to do that.

In my opinion, events are chances to create exquisite memories and moments that last forever. So, in the words of Audrey Hepburn, "I believe, every day, you should have at least one exquisite moment."

I'd love to help make your event EXQUISITE!
