I could not find a base plaque on Makerworld or several other sites to create a plaque commemorating a significant event for someone I know, so I decided to make one from scratch. I am sharing this in case anyone else also has this need. 

This model is customizable. Just go in and edit the text, or even change the SVG image to something more custom, as suits your need. Please credit me with the base model though. 

This turned out really nice with the base as a filament resembling wood, the black background, and silk gold for the writing and SVG.
