Used Aran Trophies last year for a friend golf tournament we do every year and wanted to add a trophy for the winner every year. They were amazing with their communication and just overall want to help pick the right fit for us. Now I’m working with them on a charity event I run and a few attendees from last year’s event have also reached out and have had amazing things to say! Wouldn’t recommend anyone else in Ontario over Aran Trophies!
