Real Weddings: Erica & Matthew Stein

It brings us pure joy to create a work of art that will play an integral role in a couple’s wedding and marriage, and every so often Team Ketubah comes across a couple that we truly bond with. We are beyond excited to share with you the fun details of their wedding and the story behind their happily-every-after — it touched our hearts deeply and we are positive it will do the same for you as well!

We love being able to work with couples who are as passionate about Ketubahs as we are! Married in California, Erica and Matthew went with the modern and bold Britto-Inspired Ketubah (one of Team Ketubah’s absolute favorites!). Usually when a couple shares some pictures of the Ketubah on their special day they’ll send us only a few, but Erica and Matthew were so awesome that they sent us a link to all the photos from their wedding! From start to finish their day looked absolutely beautiful, romantic, and fun — just as a wedding should be. We had a hard time choosing only a few (we loved them all!), but here are a few of our favorites:

The Lovers Dance Ketubah

 We were so proud to see the Ketubah in their wedding photos, especially during the signing! Beyond the wedding it fills our hearts with warmth to know that our couples love their Ketubahs not only for its symbolism, but as an awesome work of art. Michael shared with us his thoughts:

We absolutely love the Ketubah and have already mounted it in our living room for all to see.

It is with great joy that we say Mazel Tov Erica and Matthew! Thank you for choosing us to make something that would play a symbolic and important role on you big day. We wish you a lifetime of fun, excitement, and love!

We are beyond excited to share with you the fun details of their wedding and the story behind their happily-every-after — it touched our hearts deeply and we are positive it will do the same for you as well!

Beyond being an absolute pleasure to work with, Michael and Leo’s Ketubah actually became one of Team Ketubah’s favorites! Married in Arizona, their wedding looked absolutely beautiful and personal — truly the perfect wedding. Their Ketubah featured a beautiful summer sky with waving trees, inspired by their personal tastes and interests. So of course, we had to ask how it went over on the big day (and what their friends and family thought!):

Everyone loved it. Thanks!

Real Weddings: Jessica & Joshua Klein

It brings us pure joy to create a work of art that will play an integral role in acouple’s wedding and marriage, and every so often Team Ketubah comes across a couple that we truly bond with. We are beyond excited to share with you the fun details of their wedding and the story behind their happily-every-after — it touched our hearts deeply and we are positive it will do the same for you as well!

Beyond being an awesome couple to work with, Jessica and Joshua’s wedding photos were absolutely stunning. From Jessica’s gorgeous dress and veil to the romantic ceremony, everything looked absolutely perfect! They chose one of Team Ketubah’s favorite, a Britto-Inspired Ketubah, and we could not have imagined a better fit for the both of them. We love hearing about how each couple incorporates their Ketubah on the big day, especially if they choose to do something beyond just the typical ceremony:

Beyond the actual Ketubah ceremony, we brought it to the wedding ceremony and displayed it on an easel next to the Chuppah. We then brought it up into our ballroom and displayed it right next to our table for the entire wedding.

We loved that they not only included the Ketubah in their ceremony, but for the whole wedding as well! We loved being able to create something that matched their modern style and tastes, and that they would love for years to come. After all the big celebrations were over, Joshua shared with us what they did with their Ketubah:

Jessica and I have our Ketubah hanging in our home with extreme pride.  We LOVE that beyond everything it represents symbolically, it is also a piece of art that we are excited and proud to display on our wall. I think couples often hang their Ketubah in their home because they think they’re supposed to or “have” to.  We couldn’t wait to hang ours!

A big Thank You! from Team Ketubah to Joshua and Jessica for letting us create something that played such an important role in your wedding. And thank you for sharing these gorgeous photos! We were completely honored that you feel such pride and joy not only because of its symbolism, but from the design as well. Mazel Tov on your big day and we wish you a lifetime of happiness, excitement and heaps of love!

Real Weddings: Alla & Vlad Gostomelsky

It brings us pure joy to create a work of art that will play an integral role in a couple’s wedding and marriage, and every so often Team Ketubah comes across a couple that we truly bond with. We are beyond excited to share with you the fun details of their wedding and the story behind their happily-every-after — it touched our hearts deeply and we are positive it will do the same for you as well!

Having to scramble at the last minute to try and get their Ketubah, Alla and Vlad wanted something that would not only be there in time for their wedding, but would reflect their style and tastes! 

We had been running around  trying to find a modern ketubah that fit our style about 1.5 months before the wedding and a) couldn’t find  anything we liked that didn’t cost an arm and a leg and b)  for the ones we were willing to settle on, no one could guarantee we would get them in time for the wedding because it was Jewish holiday season.

Alla and Vlad ended up choosing the gorgeous Britto-Inspired Lovers Dance Ketubah! Not only did their wedding look absolutely perfect (and fun!), we love how the colors in their Ketubah truly shine against all the lush greenery in the background.

It was a lovely, amazing, perfect day!

From Team Ketubah: Mazel Tov on your wedding Alla and Vlad! It brought us such joy to create a Ketubah for you both that you were absolutely in love with and would be a beautiful reminder of your wedding day and love. We wish you both heaps of joy, love, and excitement on this fun adventure!

Kara and Igor Dubinsky’s wedding took place in the sunny (and breath-taking!) Bahamas. Having planned a gorgeous destination wedding, it only made sense that they wanted their Ketubah to match:

It looks gorgeous and [is] a real piece of art. The Ketubah perfectly reflected the location of our wedding and our commitment to each other.

Real Weddings: Jessica & Mark Kubiliun

It brings us pure joy to create a work of art that will play an integral role in a couple’s wedding and marriage, and every so often Team Ketubah comes across a couple that we truly bond with. We are beyond excited to share with you the fun details of their wedding and the story behind their happily-every-after — it touched our hearts deeply and we are positive it will do the same for you as well!

Having been set up by a mutual friend, Jessica and Mark first met in Miami. “We just spent the weeks talking on the phone and getting to know each other. Before the fall session, he came back to Gainesville and we started hanging out more and more”. And as you can guess, the rest is history!

Jessica spilled to us their love for adventure and exploring. The craziest thing they ever did as a couple? “We got our dog Blaze when we had no business caring for a puppy, but it was the best ridiculous thing we could have done. She is the light of our life and we love her so much”.

With such an evident adventurous spirit to them both we couldn’t wait to hear about their proposal, and it definitely was one for the books! A typical weekend for Jessica of exploring the gorgeous Vizcaya retreat with Mark turned into an absolutely life changing event.

Towards the end of our self-guided tour, Mark asked a tourist to snap our photo. It was very hot out, and in typical Mark fashion, he did not dress up, so certainly I would have never suspected that something was up. When the tourist had us pose for the shot, it seemed like Mark was going to pass out (from the extreme heat?).  I turned to grab him in case he was falling, and saw that he was down on his knee holding a stunning diamond ring with a concomitant proposal for marriage. It was SOOOO romantic.  At this point a good sized crowd was gathering, waiting for my response, as was Mark.  Of course I said YES!

As if that couldn’t get even more amazing and ROMANTIC Jessica continued to tell us about the fun that ensued after their proposal:

Mark surprised me by whisking me away to the Mandarin Hotel.  The room was decorated with flowers, candles, and goodies, compliments of his sisters who along with the rest of both of our families, were waiting and hoping for the fantastic news. I could not have asked for a better way to start the beginning of ‘happily ever after’ with my beloved.

The Bright Kiss Ketubah

 Jessica and Mark were married September 1st, 2013 and their wedding sounded absolutely wonderful. Without skipping a beat Jessica tells us, “I loved my whole wedding – not a single complaint. It was absolutely amazing”.

As a way to tie in Mark’s profession as a dentist they personalized toothbrushes with their names and date of their wedding. They even included toothpaste and floss! They weren’t all teeth conscious however, “In addition, we put a mini white donut and mini black donut in a bag.  We put the whole thing in a bag with a label that read “Eat, brush, and be married”.

Their favorite part of the whole event?

The first look and seeing each other for the first time, it was so special (also the part where we said “I do”)!

Jessica and Mark finished up their whole wedding with a beautiful honeymoon in South Africa that not only included time spent in Cape Town, but also adventuring on a safari! AMAZING!

From the Tinak Team to Jessica and Mark, it was truly a pleasure working with you both. Mazel Tov on your big day and we wish you a lifetime of happiness, adventure, and tons of love!

Ketubah Love: “It is Refreshing to Work with a Business that Values Quality and Reliability”

It was such a pleasure working with TINAK that I don’t even know where to start! The designs were so unique that I was instantly drawn to them. Everyone who sees our Ketubah is in awe of how beautiful it is. It’s truly a work of art, and we are absolutely in love with it! Anyone who lands on your site can see what gorgeous pieces you have to offer, but what really stood out the most to me was the outstanding customer service.
I really felt like the TINAK staff was there for me every step of the way. Nina was able to answer all of my questions quickly and effectively. It is refreshing to work with a business that values quality and reliability and delivers the type of personalized service you would get from a mom and pop store. Because of that, to say that we experienced superior customer service would be a drastic understatement. There are just no words. Thank you so very much for such a great experience!
