No one else in Tulsa can compare to Brown & Hartman Engraving! With a years worth of laser projects dropped off not one error was made. In fact they are always willing to improve upon our ideas. They are always willing to go to great lengths to make our projects the best possible. So thankful for their great staff. In turn OUR customers at Summer Snow Gifts & Decor are always happy and return for more orders. Thanks again and will see you in a few days I'm sure.

I'm editing my review to 1 star. After what happened below the engraving as soon as washing the cups wore off on 2 of them. BH told me to bring them back in and they would fix them. What they didn't tell me was how they would do it. Well now my special gifts have the redone engraved images and a halo effect left over from the original. They look horrible and my son is crying because his gift turned out worst than his sisters. This whole experience has been expensive and awful. Avoid this place. I should've heeded the advice of the other negative review. First off their pricing is fair and the
