“We worked with Sol to design and create our ketubah because we wanted a piece that was nature-based, organic, non-traditional, and created by someone whose style and personality resonated with ours. Sol surpassed our expectations by listening to our dreams, bringing us creative ideas, and translating our hopes into art. We’ve received so many compliments on the artistry of the piece from our family and friends. I would 100% recommend Sol and would trust them again with a project so personal and meaningful.”
