True musicians in every sense, deeply talented, professional, and passionate.

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 guitar 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 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.

I cannot recommend Note of Elegance more highly. They helped make my daughter’s wedding truly extraordinary. I highly recommend them, every single musical moment they created was truly worth it.

The best violinist for our wedding ceremony!

We had a Christmas wedding and hired Kurtis to play during the ceremony. He was absolutely incredible and his playing made our ceremony so beautiful and special. Kurtis was also super quick to respond and very easy to work with. I had a very specific idea in mind for our music and he was so accommodating and brought my vision to life.

The Most Perfect Addition to our Day 🤍

We are so grateful for the beauty Jesse and Curtis added to our wedding day. My husband and I knew music would be one of the most important elements of our wedding to us, and Jesse and Curtis couldn't have delivered more perfectly. They took the time to learn new songs that we requested, ask questions, and go over every detail of how we wanted the music presented (timing, cues, order of songs, etc.) We included a "ring warming" in our ceremony where our rings were passed to and "blessed" by our immediate family (parents, siblings, nephews) while Jesse and Curtis played. It took extra coordination to determine cues to start/stop, especially since we weren't exactly sure how long it would take our family to pass the rings around and couldn't exactly time it out beforehand. Their professionalism and close attention to detail made it absolutely seamless, and easily one of the most special and memorable parts of our ceremony. Also, all of our wedding events took place at the same venue, and I was nervous about how the flow would be between the pre-ceremony gathering, ceremony, and cocktail hour, without our venue coordinator having to wrangle our guests around. Live music was the key factor in creating a perfect, natural flow for our day, all thanks to Jesse and Curtis. We can't recommend A Note of Elegance more highly!!

A Wonderful Experience!

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 despite an additional cost, they did not upcharge me for this 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!!!!

Wonderful addition to our wedding!

A Note of Elegance truly added just that to our wedding day. Not only was the music absolutely beautiful and made our day extra special, but Jesse was so easy to work with and truly so kind! She went above and beyond with communication throughout the whole process. We couldn't have asked for better musicians for our special day and we would highly recommend them!

10/10 would book again!

Where do I begin?! Jesse & Kurtis are the brightest lights. So responsive, accommodating, & brilliantly talented. I can’t recommend them enough for entertainment at your wedding. They were even so kind as to help us select music for our ceremony that was not yet in their library, making our vision come to life. 10/10 book them right this second!!

Highly Recommend A Note of Elegance. THE BEST

We had the best experience with Jesse from A Note of Elegance. From start to finish, Jesse was there to answer any questions and make sure we had the absolute best and worry free experience. We had Jesse and Kurits play our ceremonial strings for our wedding, and our guests are still raving about the beautiful job they did. We highly recommend A Note of Elegance for all of your string needs for your special event.
