Melody created the most gorgeous Ketubah for our wedding! We wanted something a bit different from what we had typically seen, and we love how the papercut turned out. We had it framed “floating” so you can see the dimension even on our wall. It’s truly a piece of art. Thank you again, Melody!

We love our ketubah by Melody. It is absolutely beautiful, and we will always treasure it. Melody was highly responsive throughout the process and provided many opportunities to customize the text and appearance. The ketubah arrived in excellent condition and well in advance of our wedding. Thank you, Melody, for your beautiful work!

Melody was highly referred to us from multiple people so my husband and I decided to have a consultation with her. Melody sat with us for hours, getting to know us as a couple and then showing us so many examples of her beautiful work. Melody is not only professional and patient but also super talented! She created a custom Ketubah for us with watercolors that made our ketubah both unique and breathtaking. THANK YOU MELODY!

We absolutely love our Ketubah from Melody. She worked with us not only to design it exactly to our taste, but also with our Rabbi to get the wording exactly right. It was absolutely perfect and it looks so beautiful in our home. Thank you Melody for delivering such a perfect work of art that we will treasure forever.

Melody did an amazing job!  She listened to what we wanted and created various mockups. We were able to tweak it with her to create the most amazing Ketubah! She listened to us and helped in creating our one of a kind Ketubah. Very detail oriented!

We are so happy we worked with Melody to create our Ketubah.  She is so caring, kind, patient and talented.  She answered all our questions clearly and took the time to make sure we ended up designing the perfect ketubah for us! She was the perfect combination of personable and professional — exactly what you need when working with someone for something for your special wedding day.  We felt like we were in the best hands and we love our unique, beautiful ketubah. Thank you, Melody.

Melody made the perfect Ketubah for me.
There were several elements that I wanted in my ketubah that Melody was able to incorporate together beautifully.
I asked for: Jerusalem skyline, Two Olive trees intertwining, Shofars on the ram, colors, etc.. and Melody made a beautiful harmony with all these elements.
Very talented artist and a pleasure to work with.

Melody is a true artist who works so patiently and diligently with her clients to create the ketubah of their dreams. She takes direction so well for those who want control over their design, and makes brilliant suggestions for those who want to give her complete creative freedom. It is especially noteworthy how she incorporates the couple’s personal story through motifs in the ketubah design. We could not be happier with our Ketubah and with Melody!

I heard about melody’s ketuba from a friend.  From the moment I contacted her, she was ready to help me decide between sizes, color, and design.  She was very accommodating with the text that my rabbi requested also.  Melody is a kind, passionate artist who really cares about your precious memory of your wedding.  I highly recommend her for her beautiful artistic ketuba’s and her awesome demeanor.

I worked with Melody to make our Ketuba and not only was she a pleasure to work with, but our Ketuba that she designed was stunning. I cannot thank her enough. She was fast and always responded to my emails quickly. Thank you Melody!!! You are the best <3.

“Melody did a phenomenal job. She did exactly what I wanted, but made it even nicer. She was very professional, scheduled my appointment with her around my schedule, listened to my needs, delivered on time and was a very fair price. For the same price as it would be to walk into a Judaica store, I was able to make a custom made Ketuba. I recommended her to all my friends getting married. Thank you!!!”

“Melody was so helpful and wonderful to work with.  She communicated with our Rabbi to ensure everything was perfect, and kept us informed of the progress throughout the entire process.  Her submission forms made making decisions super easy, and she was very responsive whenever we had questions.  Once our Ketubah was approved by our Rabbi, she shipped it quickly and it arrived with no issues.  Our Ketubah is a work of art – absolutely beautiful!  I cannot wait to get it framed so that we can hang it on our wall and look at it every day to remember the commitment we made to each other.”

Melody made our ketubah!

She made a custom laser cut ketuba for us.  Since it was custom, we were able to have our whole story in our ketubah.  It was a laser cut tree but within the tree there was a bench with doves since my husband proposed to me with a dove while we were sitting on a bench.  We were also able to have our Hebrew names embedded within the tree, as well as the phrase “I am my beloved, and my beloved is mine” in Hebrew.

My husband and I didn’t have time to pick out the background of the ketubah to go behind the laser cut because we were so busy with wedding planning.  When we saw how talented she was with all her other ketubahs we asked her if it was okay if she could make us a few options and we’ll just decide from those.  She ended up giving us like 10 different backgrounds that we could choose from, all of which were way better than what I had pictured in my head.  She’s really great with colors and blending them together.    Since Melody recommended us having 2 ketubahs, one for us to frame in our home, and one for me to give to my mother (to follow an old custom that the bride’s mother hides the ketubah in a safe place), we got to pick two of our favorite backgrounds and she made a duplicate of the original laser cut.

Moreover, it’s really important for me to work with someone that I feel like I could trust and has good intentions, ESPECIALLY when it was someone that I was working with for the wedding.  Melody is really the sweetest and kindest and put in more work and labor in this ketubah than I had expected it would take.  She genuinely wanted to make us happy and make us the perfect ketubah.

“Melody was so easy to work with and really took the time to make our Ketubah perfect. It took my breath away the first time and every time I look at it. Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication.”
