From Robyn and Roger

“Yours are truly the only ketubah designs that Roger and I felt we would want to frame and hang in our home. We don’t feel that we will merely be hanging a ketubah in our home, but rather a work of fine art that we love.”

Robyn and Roger chose my Bloom ketubah of a camelia flower.

From Matthew and Kathleen

“I’m happy to let you know why we were drawn to your artwork rather than “traditional” ketubahs out there — “traditional” is the opposite of what we wanted. The artwork on just about every other ketubah out there looks like it’s straight off of the stained-glass windows of my old synagogue. We are an interfaith couple — so anything with really heavy Jewish symbolism we were going to rule out immediately. We want a home where the representation of our backgrounds are in balance. We were searching for was something we’d be interested in having hanging on our wall even WITHOUT the marriage contract wording on it… we could’ve picked any number of yours.”

Matthew and Kathleen chose my Horizon ketubah of an autumn leaf.

From Christine and Mike

“We received our beautiful ketubah… I was blown away when I took it out of the package. It is more beautiful than I had imagined.

Being a Catholic girl, I never heard of a ketubah until Mike’s mom mentioned getting one. I began searching the internet for one that would fit the both of us — that both of us liked. I’m Catholic, he’s Jewish, neither are religious; it was not easy. So many ketubahs have religious pictures and neither of us wanted it to be only a religious document. We wanted art. I studied art and photography way back in high school… and immediately fell in love with all of your designs.

I am ecstatic with the results. I want to hang it up now! We both want to thank you for adding to our wedding memories and for giving us something we will cherish always.”

"Our ketubah is so beautiful it literally makes me cry."
Brooke and Jez
