First off shout out to the entire staff at ATA Engraving! You all deserve a loud WOOOOO! I dropped off a fantasy football championship belt to be engraved pretty last minute, but they were super helpful and accommodating. The belt material itself could not be engraved but they were able to problem solve that. I was quoted a very reasonable price and 2 business day turn around time. In all my haste to complete my move out of SD to LA...I forgot to pick up the belt on Tuesday. I called ATA and they assured me they could ship the belt to me on my desired date and at a very reasonable shipping cost. Lo and behold...it's Friday (today) and belt in hand! Thank you guys again so much! The engraving looks great, you saved me from 6 hours of back and forth drive time, and I won't get heckled at the Super Bowl for forgetting the belt ;) read more

This place was so awesome. They engraved a plaque for my moms urn and it turned out absolutely beautiful. Made it same day for pick up the next morning as a rushed order. Awesome prices and even better people. Mike was a sweetheart and took extra care to express his condolences and compassion for our family at this time. Highly recommend this place! read more

I just went in to ATA with a last minute request to help create a perpetual trophy for my kids' school and they were able to set us up with a beautiful solution for a very reasonable price! I wish I had given myself more time because the trophies waiting to be picked up were gorgeous! Office is organized and they are very responsive! I highly recommend! read more

ATA is awesome!! They provided awards for an event we had to raise funds and awareness for cancer for 2 years in a row. A perpetual plaque award and several individual awards. Everyone was impressed by the quality! ATA is super easy to work with and they sent me proofs and I was able to make changes on wording. I would use them again and again. When I picked up the awards, the experience was upbeat and quick. There are award examples displayed at their office and they ranged from small to large championship cups. Thank you ATA! read more

We got our son's first birthday party favors made here! Ordered 80 sports bottles (4 different colors) with our son's name, date, and "thank you" laser engraved on each bottle which came out perfect! All our guests were happy with their favors. We also got 2 appreciation plaques made for our parents. I needed everything to be in Korean and that was not a problem at all! I sent an email with all the words typed out plus a picture of our son which was printed on metal in color! Great quality and price with awesome service. Easy to work with and Min is really good with designing/knowing exactly what you want. ATA can customize almost everything for any occasion. We're already thinking about getting cake toppers and other favors for our son's 2nd birthday made here lol. Thank you ATA :) read more

I reached out to ATA Engraving to help create branded pieces for my company's holiday party. I sent some photo ideas of what I was looking for, along with the color I wanted. Min was very responsive. She sent over a sample design and went above and beyond what I could have expected with her cute ideas. She took my suggestions and came up with a final design really quickly. My pieces were ready in a timely manner and pick-up was super easy! The centerpieces and dessert accents turned out great. I will definitely use this family-owned business anytime I need something special for an event! Highly recommend! read more

Awesome service. Friendly staff! I brought in a medal to be engraved and told the friendly front desk staff just to do simple engraving on a plate and stick it on the back of the medal. When I picked it up, the name was engraved directly on the back of the medal. It looks a lot nicer than using a plate. The price was the same, and I was able to pick it up in less time without a rush order fee. Definitely will have them do our tournament medal/trophy engraving in the future. read more

I needed 4 tumblers engraved in a hurry! I called ATA engraving and they said they did same day service and even included an image as well as individual names to the tumblers. They sent a proof 20 mins after I left and had the job completed within hours. Thanks for the fast professional work! I will be back. read more

ATA Engraving Trophy & Awards exceeded all expectations by miles. They were incredibly friendly and exceptionally helpful. I recently purchased a wrestling belt for a Fantasy Football League and needed engravings to reflect the league name and previous winners. This particular belt isn't a normal trophy or a plaque so I wasn't 100% certain where to take it or what my limitations would be. After viewing ATA's website and Instagram page (@ATAengraving) comprised of their awesome work, I decided to give them a call. The owners Min & John were very easy to talk to and answered all of my questions. To my surprise, they also had experience engraving wrestling belts as well! The next step involved the engraving designs. I knew where & what I wanted engraved on the belt, however I wasn't confident what design would look best. Upon arriving at the shop and showing the belt in question, I let the owners Min & John take the lead on the artistic direction. And I am sooo glad I did. The belt turned out even better than I could have imagined. The league name really pops out and the name plates look super clean. Every league member I showed absolutely loved the way the belt turned out. I highly recommend ATA Engraving Trophy & Awards and will be returning to have future nameplates engraved. Thank you so much Min & John!! read more

Minh and the crew at ATA engraving are awesome! They personalize whatever you need and do so at lightening speed. I have used ATA for years for all my team's awards and tournament plaques, etc. just recently Minh did a bunch of personalized plaques for us that made such a big impact on our athletes. This subtle touches can really make a difference when recognizing the kids. I'm so thankful for everyone at ATA for providing such amazing service to help us recognize our athletes in special ways. Thank you!! read more

If there is one thing to take away from this review, it is this: American Trophy & Awards is the best place in San Diego to get your trophy, plaque, and engraving needs. Period. This is a family run business and they go out of their way to get the job done right, fast, and at a good price. I needed 10 Yeti bottles engraved for the top coaches in our little league organization. There were only a few days in between the bottles' arrival and the awards ceremony. Min worked with me to get everything done with time to spare. And when I accidentally left one of the bottles at home and had to bring it in a day late, she engraved it on the spot for me. I dare you to find better customer service in all of San Diego! They do a great job here. Highly recommended. Will definitely return. read more

I purchased gifts for the teachers in my life here. The cute little tumblers for wine (or non alcoholic drinks). Worked with Min to create a really cute personalization for them. I bought 10 tumblers and they were ready on time and no errors. Thank you so much for making this special gift!! I Highly recommend this business! read more

We used ATA Engraving for trophies for a charity golf tournament on Thanksgiving weekend. This was our first tournament, so we had no idea what to look for as far as trophies go and we didn't have a ton of turnaround time. Min and John were incredibly helpful and easy to work with. Min asked for our budget and general ideas and she guided me in the right direction offering lots of great options. Not only was she super helpful in finding the right design for us, but she turned them around extremely quickly and was very responsive over email. On top of ATA being helpful in the beginning stages, we had some last minute changes and needed to add more to our order, and they were very accommodating and flexible and got us exactly what we needed right before a busy holiday weekend. The trophies turned out exactly as we wanted, and added the perfect element to our tournament - we even got compliments from the winners (Who have played in a LOT of golf tournaments) on how much they liked our trophies! :) Highly recommend working with ATA for their superb customer service, flexibility, and expertise in the industry. We look forward to working with ATA again in the future! read more

I called ETA Engraving today because they only had positive reviews. John was friendly and helpful and able to accommodate you request even though h wasn't able to what I originally wanted. H found another solution to offer me and was able to have it ready on the same day in the afternoon after several emails and calls. I can't say enough how much I appreciate him coming up with a solution and creating a much nicer gift than I originally was trying to create for a wedding gift I need in two days. This is a real example of what you would hope for in a family owned and operated business. read more

This place rocks. They did an awesome job for my son's golf trophy and even did a rush job for me that no other place in San forgo would do. Prices are great and I'm very glad I used them. I highly recommend them. read more

Abolutely excellent. John and Min are super friendly. They were really fast (I gave them very little time to complete the job). The standard of work was first rate and the price was good. I will definitely be using them again. read more

I called for 1 simple name plate and they wanted to charge me an extra $25 in order to have it in less than 3 days?! Not exactly the best customer service :( read more

I needed a golf trophy customized for my group, I happened to stumble upon this place after doing some research online and I'm glad I did! Not only am I very happy with the product I purchased but the customer service I received was unmatched! I have been working with John and his attitude and professional manner left me very impressed. If you need any sort of trophy or award you will not regret coming here! I plan on coming back here for all of my future needs. read more

Super friendly service! I had an old trophy that I needed to add a new plate on with additional lines engraved on the plate. I was at the shop to submit my order on a Monday and I got my trophy back (looking polished and beautiful) on Thursday. I believe they charge $7-$8 per line of laser engraving. I am not familiar with competitive prices of laser engravings but I was not regretful of the price due to the friendly and quick service. read more

Unbeatable customer service! The little league I manage a team for chose this company for our trophies and I'm so glad they did. I made a mistake when I submitted the names so one of the names was wrong on the plates. They were closed when I recieved my order, so I emailed them. Within minutes I recieved a response. When I went to pick up the corrected plate early Monday morning they were already engraving it. I was in and out in minutes. They are incredibly kind and courteous! read more

Beautiful trophies and awards!! Best quality.

Fast, Quick and exceeded my expectations.... Very satisfied.

Min and John are excellent to work with!!! Min even made a last minite change, now the plaque is perfect and on budget!!!

I have used American Trophy and Awards for my business needs for several years. They are the most professional and competent engravers that I have used in the past 30 years. Not only are they good, but they are reasonable and fairly priced. read more
