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!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Note of Elegance for my daughter’s wedding, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jesse and Kurtis. They played violin and gui...
tar for both the church ceremony and the cocktail hour, and the music they created was nothing short of magical.
Their extensive music library made it so easy to find the perfect blend of classic pieces and modern favorites. Jesse worked closely with my daughter to curate the ideal church ceremony selections, and her guidance, creativity, and genuine care made the entire process feel effortless. The cocktail hour music was equally memorable, elevated, elegant, and beautifully played.
Jesse and Kurtis are true musicians in every sense, deeply talented, professional, and passionate. Their sound together is so classy and elegant, adding a level of sophistication that truly set the tone for the entire day. Their ability to transform a moment with music is nothing short of breathtaking, and their presence elevates an event in a way few artists can.
Also, Jesse is an absolute joy to work with: warm, professional, and genuinely dedicated to creating unforgettable moments. She and Kurtis brought a level of artistry and heart that exceeded every expectation.
Note of Elegance helped make my daughter’s wedding truly extraordinary. I highly recommend them, their artistry brought an unforgettable sense of magic to the celebration.

Jesse and her husband, Kurtis, were nothing short of INCREDIBLE. They provided the music for our ceremony and cocktail hour and were so collaborative and wonderful throughout the ...
entire process. Kurtis played the violin at our ceremony and an electric violin at cocktail hour! He learned a new song for the recessional that had sheet music and then another for the processional that had no sheet music...he learned that song by ear!!! It took time and effort to do this and they did not upcharge me for this additional request. The price they quoted was beyond reasonable, especially for the attention to detail and talent that they bring. I am so happy to have reached out to Jesse and been connected to their business for our wedding. What wonderful people with an incredible business!! Thank you a million for making this day that much better!!!!

A Note of Elegance played the violin and cello during our Church wedding ceremony. There are no words to describe how incredible A Note of Elegance was, not only on our wedding day...
, but throughout the journey of wedding planning! Jesse made the process so easy, was quick at responding to emails, and made time out of her busy day to confirm details to make sure everything was perfect. When researching musicians during the search process, Jesse and her husband’s music sounded so beautiful and elegant. There was an element of naturality that was the definition of graceful. Even our family, friends, and bridal party complimented A Note of Elegance on how naturally the music filled the Church. Jesse is also, by far, one of the sweetest people and most patient person I have met. We truly cannot recommend A Note of Elegance enough!

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.

I specially requested a violin and guitar duo from them both, as they are friends and I just always envisioned violin and guitar, and they were happy to do that. They took on my song requests, even if it meant learning something new. I greatly appreciate their work and efforts into making our ceremony beautiful. My guests were very impressed with the playing and the professionalism, too. Thank you for helping with my wedding vision and for making the process easy and stress-free and thank you for sharing your talents. I can not stress enough how much I recommend A Note of Elegance to other brides and grooms!

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!

Jessie was such a tremendous addition to our wedding last year. Not only was her musicianship displayed at the highest level, her professionalism and demeanor made for a smooth and...
relaxing atmosphere. In the days leading up to our wedding, when managing to do lists in what could have been a stressful time, Jessie's correspondence and politeness assured us that we were in great musical hands.
She is a consummate musician who stepped right in with a musician she had never met of the wedding and provided the highest quality of emotional and artistic elegance to our big day.
I would recommend her to anyone for any event. She is tremendous at what she does and a joy to interact with.

A Note of Elegance was the perfect addition to my wedding ceremony and I was shocked by how many song choices were offered. Jesse is very patient and very good about responding to ...
emails, even as I was changing song choices days before the ceremony and my ceremony location had to be moved the day before due to rain. She is very professional and a great musician! I highly recommend A Note of Elegance for any special day.

Jesse's musical talent is incredible. For our ceremony, she played "Yellow" by Colplay, "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran, and the traditional "Here Comes the Bride." The songs could not hav...
e been better. She adds her own personal touch to each song, making her unique and distinguishing herself from other musicians we have heard. Jesse is a true professional when it comes to communication. She provided us with an extensive list of all of the songs she could play and was completely willing to learn any new songs we wanted! I would recommend A Note of Elegance to anyone who wishes to have a truly memorable musical experience on their special day.

I contacted Jesse late in the game as we had changed venues and moved to a church ceremony and we wanted a violinist over the organ. She was booked on our wedding date, but instead...
of passing us along, she worked to see if her husband was available. Unfortunately, he was also booked, but she had a third option! Enter Erika. Erika was beyond amazing! She was already set up and ready to go when I arrived at the church, and she was legit excited to be there, telling me that she couldn't wait to play for us as our wedding was Beauty and the Beast theme and we'd be leaving the church to Tale as Old as Time. She played like a true artist, and had me in tears before the bridal party even entered. There was a minor lag because I forgot to tell her we had decided to have the parent's walk down the aisle before the party, but she worked on her feet and played a song of her own choosing and it worked perfectly! When she played Hallelujah, I practically couldn't see through my tears. When she played "Perfect" by Ed Sheerin while Tricia walked down the aisle, I could barely contain myself. I'll never forget what Jesse and Erika were able to do for me. I highly suggest you consider A Note of Elegance for your event! Top notch! So grateful.

A Note of Elegance is the best. We had the most dreamy and ethereal ceremony because of Jesse.
We booked Jesse/A Note of Elegance to play the violin during our wedding ceremony a...
nd she knocked it out of the park! All of our guests were so moved by her music and skills. We received multiple compliments!! As I walked down the aisle with my Dad, the sound of her playing Imagine by John Lennon brought me to tears. It was simply stunning. Jesse learned 3 new songs just for our ceremony in only a few weeks. She played Harvest Moon by Neil Young, Magic by Cold Play and the song I walked down the aisle to. It was simply magical.
Not only is she just an exceptional violinist, but she truly was one of my most favorite vendors to work with! She was on top of everything and SO RESPONSIVE and organized! Not to mention she is just a sweetheart. She and I communicated via email about my song requests for our processional and recessional and she didn't have any issues with my special requests. In addition, I love that she uses Venmo for easy payment! On the day of the wedding she was early and looked so polished and beautiful. I could go on and on!
Simply put, Jesse is the best. Book her for your wedding! She is the stuff of wedding dreams :)

sy to work with. She was wonderful in helping us to find just the right music for our Wedding and even offered her expertise in suggesting additional music to be played. The music was just perfect. For my parent’s 40th wedding celebration we knew we had to have “Only Fools Fall In Love” by Elvis. Jesse and Kurtis came thru and did a beautiful rendition for my parents along with more music pieces that added that special touch to the party. I cannot say enough about A Note of Elegance and would highly recommend them for your next event. Whatever the occasion, wedding, anniversary, etc…A Note of Elegance will be that special touch to help make your special day a special memory!
