We Value Diversity

We are often asked if you must be Jewish to have a ketubah. We love this question, as it shows that the beauty of this traditional ritual object touches people, resonates with them, regardless of their affiliation, faith or spiritual background.  

Why not incorporate the concept of this beautiful tradition into your own wedding ceremony and celebration? 

We proudly and respectfully work with Jewish, Interfaith, Gay and Lesbian, and Non denominational couples and we welcome the opportunity to work with clients of All faiths, affiliations and spiritual backgrounds.

The components of a typical Ketubah or Wedding Vow Certificate are as follows. Please realize that this is a completely customizable fine art product that will be created just for you!

Vow Text

Whether traditional wedding vows or modern day sentiment, it is a beautiful custom to honor the words which you will say to each other on your wedding day.  We offer many different texts which poetically convey traditional concepts of love and commitment. Each original, unique and beautiful English text that we offer is an integral part of any wedding certificate. All of our texts can be customized to better reflect your own unique situation and love. Or, be adventurous and write your own vow text together. We offer multiple font options, including English, Hebrew, Spanish, French and Chinese fonts and we look forward to creating an individualized certificate that honors your heritage.

Signature Lines

To validate the wedding contract/vows, traditional Jewish weddings call upon witnesses to sign the ketubah before the ceremony. There are often signature lines for the Bride and Groom as well as the Officiating Rabbi or Clergy member.   Of course, there are all sorts of variations on who is honored through signature. Traditional Amish weddings honor all of the wedding guests by having them sign either a separate sheet of paper or the back of the formal wedding certificate.  If you like this custom and wish to honor special guests, our studio is happy to customize a set of signature lines that will be appropriate for your wedding ceremony.   

Customization

We are delighted to accommodate your special requests. We are dedicated to making your Wedding Vow Certificate a reflection of your artistic and personal preferences, and we encourage you to consider incorporating our various creative custom options to make your Certificate even more unique and special. We offer customization options on an á la carte basis, which means that you have an opportunity to add any or all of our custom options to your order. To view our customization options click here.

Presentation

In most Jewish Wedding ceremonies, the ketubah is prominently displayed during the wedding ceremony as it is common for the Rabbi or Officiating Clergy to read the vow text words aloud during the ceremony. Afterwards, the ketubah is placed on display at the reception for all guests to see, read and admire.  After wedding day, most couples professionally frame their wedding certificate and hang it in their home; not only a work of art but a beautiful daily reminder of their love and commitment to each other.     

With our "Wedding Prep Package", we offer professional, archival mounting and matting of your Wedding Certificate in an elegant neutral white matte, with a protective overlay so that you can sign your Certificate and then display the protected artwork, worry free at the reception. For your convenience, we include an archival ink signing pen, so that you can be certain that your signatures will last a lifetime. To learn more about our wedding prep package, click here.
