I won a trophy from the Lao Food Festival and needed to add the details. After some research, I found this place--and it didn't have any minimum order requirements, so I went for it. AMBIANCE: Tucked into one of the industrial parts of Convoy. It's not flashy--just a lot of neighboring businesses. The signage isn't super prominent, so definitely use your GPS and keep your eyes open. Inside? Wall-to-wall trophies, medals, and plaques. You can tell they know exactly what they're doing. PARKING: Typical industrial area setup. You might see some trucks loading/unloading nearby, but I didn't run into any major parking issues. CUSTOMER SERVICE: RJ was awesome--friendly, helpful, and made sure I knew all my options. He even helped tweak the design to make it just right. TL;DR - OVERALL 5 stars. Great experience all around. Fair pricing, fast turnaround, and solid service. I submitted my request, they reviewed the mock-up with me, and kept me updated throughout the process. Definitely coming back here for future awards! Pro tip: Always double-check your wording and layout before finalizing! read more

Great service and friendly staff. Quick turnaround and high quality. I highly recommend

been waiting since June 2023 to get my items corrected. The level of service and lack of respect to even get what I ordered corrected is disappointing. I am asking one last time, to correct their error. I've purchased many name tags and can seem to comprehend why you guys choose to ignore me. It's the principal, correct your mistake. read more

Excellent Customer Service! -- Thank you. Mike responded very quickly to my request and was very good at following thru confirming my order. I received my plaques yesterday and they look great! The recipients will love them read more

Amazing business for all your trophy needs. They were fantastic at helping with the trophy I was asking for. They respond to their emails in regards to all my question very quick. It took a little less than a week to create the trophy after I confirmed what exactly I wanted. My friend even brought the prop he wanted on the trophy and they created a stand for it. I just kept mine a bit more simple but they can definitely accommodate any custom designs. I really recommend this business. read more

Mike and his staff deserve 5+ stars for being courteous, attentive, honest and fast. I'm a school volunteer and each year I order trophies/medals for the end of the year running program. I got sick and wasn't able to get in 2 weeks before our ceremony to place our order. I stressed and ran to a few other trophy stores in the area, where they were quick to say it's a busy time for them, uninterested in our small order and not very personable. Why spend my hard earned money there? Therefore, I didn't. I waited the 3 day weekend, placed our order at Gold Medallion with Mike (I told him he's Yelp famous) and our order was done within 3-4 days, still 3 days before our ceremony. I learned my lesson, I'll always go here for any personalized trophy and medal needs! And if you're reading this, you should too ;) read more

Gold Medallion Awards - Small order but important to our students. - Trophy Shops Near Me - San Diego, California

We had a small contest at the office that we did quickly, having staff vote on decorations of their peers. Last minute, decides it would be fun to have a small trophy for the team. Phoned Mike and he said come down, we could find something for us! Boy, Customer Service Award of the Year for Mike! He helped me put it together and offered to engrave it while I waited. I walked out in under 30 min with this sweet trophy. Our staff was THRILLED! So thankful for Mike's time and service. Looking forward to doing more business together. Highly recommend!! read more

My Fantasy Football League has been going on for a few years, and we finally decided to get a trophy. After searching for a bunch of places, I finally ended up here. Super friendly and helpful service. They didn't have the exact trophy in the show room but they ordered it for me and put on all the plaques. I told them the exact date our draft was and they were able to get it to me before that date. Every year we bring back the trophy and they add a new name on it for us. The first time they actually messed up someones name, but at no cost they fixed it for us. Great service, awesome place to get trophies done. read more

Gold Medallion Awards - Fantasy Football Trophy - Trophy Shops Near Me - San Diego, California

Best award and trophy shop in town. I've used them for many golf tournaments and Scouting functions and they always come through on time and within budget. Many times I'll be running at the last minute and they still get it done when I need it. Kernie and Mike do a great job! read more

Terrible communication ordered 5 awards for the weekend was sent an email 3 hours before they closed saying they were ready. Problem is they didn't say they close at 3pm on Friday's and I was in meetings between 12-3pm. Checked my email at 3:15 called right away and they're closed SMH! No phone calls no messages from Gold medallion. I Left messages, emails and no response. Now we are stuck with no awards for our banquets. read more

I placed an order for 7 medals online and the date of the order was too late. I called the location directly to see if there is anything they can do to have it ready by a certain time. The staff there were so friendly and had the order complete within 2 days of my order!!! I would definitely recommend this place if you're in need for a quick order! read more

Mike assisted me in picking out a recognition plaque and advised me of inscribing onto the surface of the rosewood instead of a metal plate. This was great advice as the plaque was beautiful! Very easy to work with, reasonable price and the order was ready very quickly. Family run company. read more

My fantasy football league was on a budget and needed two trophies in time for draft day. I came into the shop and chatted with Mike Kohlmyer. He showed me some different options in the showroom and encouraged me to check out the website (gmawards.com) for more ideas. We coordinated everything over email and he got us 2 awesome trophies for the exact amount we discussed! Mike made everything very easy! Gold Medallion will be my first stop if I ever need any trophies or awards. Highly recommend! read more

I ordered a simple plaque, with my logo, from Gold Medallion, and I couldn't be more pleased. The price was terrific, and the plaque looks great. I made the job difficult by being unavailable when they offered me a proof, but they finished it on schedule and in a very short time. Thank you, Gold Medallion! read more

I buy awards annually on a low budget and have had one occasion where I had a healthy budge to get a big award for something else. Every year I think I should shop around, but I have finally stopped doing that. Gold Medallion Awards consistently provides efficient, accurate, and inexpensive products. They are not uber super happy all the time, but their customer service has always been right on. And they have also helped me out a lot when I have contacted them last minute. Definite recommend in San Diego. read more

Perfectionist. Fulfilled my name tag order for our charity in half the time quoted. When I added to the order, it didn't delay the completion. read more

I'm definitely a fan. I needed a last minute trophy for a retiring colleague. They did the job, the engraving was perfect and the shipping was quick. My only issue was that I was sent 3 separate confirmation emails. It made me worry that I would get charged 3 times...Fortunately, their communication was awesome and after a quick email, they responded and called to let me know they fixed the problem and had only charged me once. They also called to let me know that the rush shipping I had ordered was not necessary and that they could have it to me the next day at the regular group ship rate. NICE! Item arrived and looks perfect. Thanks guys! read more

I have been doing business with these guys for about 6 years now ordering medals, plaques, trophies and specialty items and everything has always come back perfect. Mike, Kernie and the rest of GM team are amazing. Their prices are very reasonable and their turn around is very quick. Whether you walk in or place an order on the phone, they make sure you get exactly what you are looking for even if you aren't sure what you really want. If they don't have it on hand, they know lots of other vendors and can order it in. If you are looking for trophies, business thank you gifts or medals, I highly recommend you check this place out first. You won't be disappointed. read more

GM Awards is wonderful. I have used them so many times, the website is easy to use, great quality, quick turnaround and excellent customer service. Thanks to you all for making one thing on the to-do list easy! read more

Excellent. As a business owner I really appreciated their rush order and had it ready the next day for me. I will definitely be patronizing them again and would recommend to anyone. read more

I've been using Gold Medallion Awards for years .. I agree this place is a hidden gem, once you find it you'll be happy with the results. I've been getting standard employee and sports plaques for years as well as custom tags for folks on my team... they've been highly appreciated and the people are very helpful when I've been at a loss for words or ideas .... I'll be going back soon. read more

Mike is fantastic!!! He has bailed me out twice now for orders where I was given the award information just 1 week before the awards ceremony. The trophies are perfect, and GM Awards is so easy to work with! read more

I have been using these guys for three years now for my gym. Their prices are awesome. At this point I just shoot them and email Mike sends me back a confirmation and they have everything always ready within a week. I would recommend them for any awards, plaques, and trophies. read more

I was under the gun to get some corporate awards made in 3 days. I had 20 that's need to be ordered and engraved. Mike helped me out and our massive order and told me they would be ready in time for our award ceremony. I gave them what I thought was an impossible order due to time restraints but they pulled it off. I don't know how but they did. To top it off when I saw the completed awards they were immaculate! Beautiful work thanks again! read more

I've been coming here for over 10 years and the quality and service has always been outstanding. Mike is a really great guy and always accommodates my organization's needs. read more

I was praying for a good place to get a plaque made, and my prayers were answered. Not only was the plaque beautiful but the price was also very reasonable and it was done so fast. Great customer service too. You can't lose with Gold Medallion Awards. read more

I went in on a Thursday needing a small plaque engraved by Friday because a friend was coming into town and I wanted to give it to her rather than spend the money to ship it. GMA was able to have it ready by Friday afternoon and it looked great! Wonderful experience and would definitely recommend them to anyone seeking their kind of services. read more

GMA has been great in supporting our charity event! For the last 5 years they have made sure that our awards have looked stunning! The clear lucite glass awards are beautiful and very modern. Thanks so much for making everything great! read more

These guys are awesome. Very nice to work with. I worked with Mike on a custom trophy for my son. They were very quick to answer any questions I had, and ordered the materials I needed. Their prices are very reasonable. I have already given their name to 2 of my friends. read more

I'm James Johnson, A Navy War Vet. That Recently Did Business With GMA, Mike, Kernie And Everyone Showed Excellent Professionalism And Customer Service Ensuring My Exact Neeeds Were Met. I Personally Refer This Business To Anyone Needing Quality And Service. read more

The entire GM Awards team does an INCREDIBLE job. I have worked with them on several different things - commercial sale awards and youth sports especially. They always come through. In one instance, we needed a memorial plaque and they were 60% less than the top Google search results. Tell them what you need and your budget - And you'll get the right fit for a fair price. read more

This company has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. They seem so uninterested in helping their customers even frequent customers. I don't understand how they have almost 5 stars..pretty weird. Mike was assisting me half way, he did not seem interested in helping me pick out a trophy for my work. I was very patient and even nice to his one sentence responses through email. Also, I have been to this store and it looks very disorganized and dirty. Thank god I have found another trophy place nearby that offers 5 star service. It only took me 2 days to finally place my order for my trophy, with GMA it took almost 2 weeks to almost place an order.. I had to give up on them. Work on your Customer Service GMA! read more

Pathetic customer service. The manager appears to be unfriendly to internationals. The product was not prepared as per requested. Will never shop here again and suggest others to not shop here as well! read more

I have done business with Mike and Kearny for at least 10 years. They are great - always on top of things and have great suggestions. Their service is top notch and prices are reasonable. read more

Fantastic! I needed to make a large number of professional looking name badges with 4 colors in 2 days....Mike and the GM team did it in one! They were prompt and courteous and professional and got right down to it! I was so impressed by them that I took a look around the shop and saw so many amazing awards and plaques; ran back to my office to say we are only going to GM to get our awards and such because the quality and variety were second to none. Turns out...we DID go to them to get our first batch of awards and those turned out perfect too! So, you've got a customer for life GM! Thank you so much for coming through yet again! read more
