A good friend passed away in 2016 and his father asked if I could provide him with a plaque because someone had requested it for his guitar. I had 2 made and they came out beautifully. Awesome service.

The staff is very professional and accommodating. They have been able to make some very last second plaques for me for a professional society that I'm in. Also a major plus that they are a local business with a long history in Bakersfield. The place to go to for trophies and plaques in Bakersfield.

Had a very pleasant experience. After reading negative reviews I came in with the mindset I may walk into a mess. With that being said, negative people must be negative in general. Yes this is a dated, older building with older display cases and fixtures but overall it was not filthy by any means. There was a small spelling error on my plaque but they quickly made it right even though the spelling error may have been my own fault and didn't make a big deal about it what so ever. Overall I think Kern Trophies is great and I will come back and will refer others as well. Workmanship was awesome

Kern Trophies were the only ones that I found who were ready to help with my gift and not just dismiss me because it didn't come from their store! I came in after being turned away by another trophy shop. I needed a steering wheel cover engraved for a gift for a dear friend, and another shop didn't want to take the risk once I told them I bought it on Ebay. Instead of sniffing at me, Kern Trophies sniffed the leather, examined it carefully, and said we will let you know how it goes! I was so happy to hear from them the very next week telling me that was finished and that it did not

Great service and great products! I usually get most of my trophies and awards online but have now since taken my business local and will probably keep it that way. They have a wide variety of products and services and can usually whip out an engraving in a day or two if you're short on time. I will defiantly be returning here for all my trophy needs!
