Dedication Plaques
From landmark theatres to neighborhood bridges, our custom bronze dedication plaques mark the moments that matter — designed with you and delivered on time for your ceremony.
A landmark project: the Hudson Theatre
The dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Hudson Theatre on Broadway was attended by celebrities, community leaders, and government officials. The 24” x 18” plaque we created features four translations of a verse, an engraved coat of arms, a custom-shaped double border, a smooth black background, and a hand-rubbed finish. Premium ornamental borders like this one are available at no additional cost — proof that a dedication plaque can be as distinctive as the place it honors.
Engraved and traditional cast bronze options
Our engraved bronze plaques are highly customizable: photos, logos, and other art elements can all be worked into the design, and no detail is lost in production. The engraved United States flag background is a frequent request — you can see the stitching of the flag in the finished plaque. The more detail your artwork contains, the better the final result.
We also offer traditional cast bronze dedication plaques with raised text, single or double borders, and your choice of textured or smooth backgrounds. Consider leather, pebble, or smooth finishes in a range of colors, with line-art and logos cast into the design.
Common dedication projects
- Room dedications. Honor a person by name on the room they made possible. A popular approach uses two photos — one from the beginning and one from the end of the honoree’s career — or a photo collage assembled by our designers.
- Landmark dedications. For historic sites and notable venues, ornate borders, hand-rubbed finishes, and engraved coats of arms create a plaque worthy of the location.
- Bridge dedications. A bridge is often a community memorial. One recent layout proof used a custom photo of Interstate 70 as the engraved background — a natural fit for projects across Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region.
