My Ketubah Art Studios

Orna was not only a real joy to work with on our ketubah, but her work is stunning. We look are our beautiful ketubah she made for us with so much happiness, not only for its inherent beauty, but because it was such a loving process.
When we were researching someone to make our ketubah, we found Orna, on Unilocal,and it turned out she was only about a mile from our apartment. I called and we set up a meeting that week. Her studio was great. Clearly a real art studio with projects in various stages of completion. Super cool to get to see the process. We spent some time together discussing elements that we wanted to see, and she provided great insight into what would work beautifully, as well as some other suggestions we hadn’t though of, but then decided we needed in ours.
She was preparing to leave the country for some personal time, but promised it would be done when we needed it. She did not disappoint. She had it ready for us right when she said it would.
It’s really refreshing to work with someone who is incredible at their work in addition to having excellent customer service. She made sure to check with our Rabbi directly to make sure everything was *kosher* with the document, and provided helpful tips on framing (and a referral for it), as well as the correct pen to use and a sample sheet of vellum to practice signatures on.
I would absolutely recommend Orna to anyone. She is THE BEST.

If you are looking for a piece of art work for your kettubah this is your place for you!
Me and my husband had an amazing experience with Orna! We found one of the kettubahs online that we loved! But we also wanted something custom made. We wanted what we saw online but to change it a bit and make it our own. We simply had phone conversations about what we envisioned. I really left a lot up to Orna. I felt as if she understood what we wanted and I trusted her to just go with it. We wanted some personalization on our kettubah. We wanted 2 symbols representing our names somewhere on our kettubah. So after seeing what we wanted online, having a conversation and explaining more what we want (like the symbols) we left it up to her. So we didn’t know 100% what it would look like. We didn’t know every detail but we had an idea and I just trusted her.
The day we saw our kettubah I was BLOWN AWAY, we absolutely LOVE our kettubah!!! I feel as if we invested in the most important document in our life by making it art work. It feels classic and authentic. I would recommend working with Orna any day. She was lovely and organized. If you are considering her work simply email her and start the conversation. She is a true artist and overall had an amazing experience.

Like many others, we found Orna online. We were absolutely blown away by her customer service, her attention to detail, and her beautiful artistry. Our ketubah ended up having exactly what we wanted, and it turned out even more beautiful than we could have imagined. I highly recommend Orna to anyone who wants a custom-​made ketubah.

My fiancé and I found Orna online, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! Her personality, professionalism and artistry are unparalleled. The Ketubah she made for us went above and beyond our highest expectations. Even though we were working under a limited timeline, the Ketubah was done with plenty of time to spare. I will recommend Orna without hesitation to anyone who is looking for beautiful Ketubah.

When planning a wedding, some vendors will disappoint you, some will perform as advertised and some will go so far beyond what was expected and you will recommend them. Orna at My Ketubah Art Studios is that one vendor who was amazing.
My wife and I were struggling to find a unique Ketubah that represented us. We wanted something classic but not boring and many Ketubah’s we saw were either terribly plain or overly ornamental. It was May 25^th and our wedding was July 2^nd, needless to say we were running out of time. We spoke with over 10 Ketubah makers and each told us there was a minimum 8 weeks needed for even a basic design or 5 weeks for a printed Ketubah.
Thankfully we did not give up and contacted Orna on May 29^th. Her first response was «sure I can do that». She invited us over to her house in the Sunset where we discussed different designs and options. Her demeanor was easy going, thoughtful and most of all — reassuring that she could get the job done and done well. We were comforted to know that three of our friends had used her for their Ketubahs.
We settled on a classic elegant design of hand scribed Aramaic on goat parchment using kosher ink — very much like a Torah would be written. We liked the authenticity of the design, simple and elegant. While this seems simple you need someone who can write Hebrew flawlessly as any smearing or missed letters and you would have to start from scratch. We loved this idea but Orna worked with us to make it even a better. We had seen some nice paper cut Ketubahs and showed her one of the ones we were considering but that would not be ready in time for the wedding. She came up with the idea to hand paper cut the goat parchment with a knife scribing the Hebrew words any saying we wanted. Then behind the back of the Ketubah she would place a gold colored backing so that the letters would shine through. Simply gorgeous idea but one fraught with risk — if she messed up one letter, she would have to start over. Since we didn’t have tons of time, we were nervous but Orna worked to reassure us.
Then came the time to negotiate price. Clearly she knew we were desperate with basically no other options. She offered a very fair price for the work. Having now seen how gorgeous our Ketubah is, she literally could charge 2x and it would sell.
We still worried about the timing as she needed to confirm our Hebrew names and proofread the document before she hand scribed it. Each time we interacted with her over email, she was wonderful and continued not to make us more stressed. Then the moment of truth came when my wife went to pick up the Ketubah. Two words — simply stunning. Elegant, classy and exactly the look and feel we wanted.
So without hesitation, please go see Orna. She has a brilliant eye, kind, warm and her Ketubah’s are one of a kind.

I’m finally getting a chance to write a review for the lovely Orna, who made our fabulously beautiful ketubah for our April wedding. I looked around at a lot of different sources, and just didn’t want to get print from an artist in another state online or from a shop here in the city. Somehow I landed on Orna’s website, and I loved her aesthetic, loved that she’s local, and loved that we had a great connection. It was an easy decision from there and I still just love the ketubah. We got so many compliments on it at the wedding. And I know I’m going love looking at it for years to come! Thank you Orna for the special addition to our wedding!

Orna was delightful and knowledgeable. We loved working with her to create a custom Ketubah for our wedding. She exceeded our expectations and created a breathtaking piece that included all of our ideas and more in an artistic and romantic way. I agree with all the other reviewers. If you are looking for a unique ketubah for your life together, Orna is your artist. We loved being able to work with a local artist!

I highly recommend working with Orna to create a beautiful ketubah that reflects your union. Orna was always professional, her work is beautiful, and her kindness overflowing. She is also affordable. Working with Orna was one of the most enjoyable parts of the wedding planning.

Orna created a beautiful ketubah for us that is customized to our ceremony, where we are from, and who we are as a couple. Throughout the process she was friendly, responsive, and incredibly on top of everything. Back up proof reader? Already had one. Can’t frame it on time for the wedding? No worries here’s a temporary frame. All info packaged neatly, and here’s the special pen to use when you sign it on the day of your wedding.
On top of her professionalism, her über-​skills as an artist, the pride she takes in her work, and the smooth process she has developed, she was warm, energetic, and also open minded and accepting of our non-​traditional Jewish identity.
Throughout the process of planning our wedding, we have worked with lots of different people. Orna was the absolute best. No stress, just the opposite, she made us feel even more excited for our ceremony.
I just can’t say enough about her and her work. Look no farther.

It was definitely Orna’s beautiful work that initially drew us to her. When we met her, we were further draw in by her absolutely adorable personality. Over the process of working with her, we were continually humbled by her flexibility and openness to work with us and our demanding needs. It was an a complete pleasure getting to know her and the final product is a beautiful ketubah that we will treasure forever.

What an amazing experience from beginning to end. My husband and I cannot overstate Orna’s work, both in terms of her professionalism and her artistic ability to translate our desires into an amazing end-​product. We give Orna the highest compliments possible. As the Rabbi was unrolling the Ketubah during our Orthodox wedding ceremony, he commented that our Ketubah was certainly made to be framed! We give this our own rating of 10+ stars. Thank you Orna for making our most important document majestic and magical.

I couldn’t agree more with the other reviewers. Orna created our Ketubah and it is truly magnificent. She worked with us, and our budget to craft an original Ketubah that reflected our interfaith marriage. She was kind and supportive throughout and I HIGHLY recommend having her create the beautiful document that will symbolize your union.
