Some thank you notes just blow you away:
Thank you so much for doing such an outstanding job on my Fire Ketubah — I absolutely love it. We are hanging it right by the front door of the apartment and something about it just lifts my spirits every single time I see it. What a gorgeous way to sign our marital vows — it is the most meaningful part of my life and the most beautiful piece of artwork I have ever seen. Thank you so much for creating such a beautiful keepsake for our wedding.
Thank you, Melissa and Greg, it was my pleasure!
When Aaron wrote to me about the ketubah I made for him, his thoughts echos what I hear from many of my customers. The people who buy their ketubah from me tend to be smart, creative people who know what they like, and are willing to search for it. People who want something original and personal for their homes:
We spent countless hours on all sorts of ketubah websites and we just didn’t love the more traditional ones out there. I personally looked at over 1,000 ketubahs one afternoon. While many of them are beautiful, they really aren’t our style. We don’t like the intertwined trees, the Star of David, etc. that is typical of most ketubahs.
We knew we wanted something to hang on the wall of our condo that went with our modern style. Many of the more traditional ketubahs would stick out like a sore thumb. We tend to like things that are a little less mainstream as we prefer to showcase things others don’t have or haven’t even seen before. The uniqueness is important to us.
And your ketubah complements the style, look and feel of our home perfectly!
Diana, who ordered the Sunlight Ketubah shared this with me:
We spent quite some time looking at ketubahs, not finding anything we could envision hanging on our wall for years to come, but then when we found your designs it was a matter of minutes before we chose one. Your work is really beautiful, and we very much appreciate how flexible the wording and symbolism are. I’m Jewish and Ami isn’t, so it was important to us that the ketubah reflected our feelings without heavy religious connotation.
I hear this a lot. So many people want the beauty and symbolism of the ketubah, without being tied to a specific religious symbols or language that holds little meaning for them.
Jessica and Jon order the Bloom Ketubah (in black and white) from me, and just wrote:
Hi Daniel – we received the ketubah and it is stunning. Jon and I both connected with the design during our initial search, and what we received has exceeded our expectations!
Jon and I were looking for something modern yet classic. Everything we saw was either very old fashioned and really not us, and the “modern” ones I found just looked a bit cartoonish. The ketubah we chose from Modern Ketubah we both immediately fell in love with, and our colors are gray and white so it really was a no brainer.
We are thrilled and we can’t wait to display this in our home for years and years to come. Thank you so much!
This weekend I heard from the rabbi who performed the wedding for one of my couples. Here’s her more-than-kind words:
I support your commitment to making the ketubah a living and meaningful experience for contemporary couples who want the tradition to speak to their circumstance and honor and celebrate their shared sensibilities.
I love how your ketubahs work to unite everyone from different backgrounds into a united circle of celebration, so that by the time the wedding processional lines up, we are all of one heart and all “on the same page” — because you designed something which in image and word reflects the joint vision of the couple and serves as the most elegant expression of their mission statement and noble aspiration as individuals and as a couple.
There is no amount of family therapy or verbal “sharing” that compares to the uplifting dynamic of your ketubah, and how it’s energy speaks to each and every heart in just the way that it needed at that particularly sensitive moment. Thank you always for how you made the wedding ceremony joyous by giving it a context and a goal, and a way to include those who are dearest to the couple whose ceremony unites them and by extension all of those gathered.
With much appreciation for your thoughtfulness and ongoing commitment to the love story of each couple whose trust you honor,
Rabbi Green
