Wedding Monogram Lighting

A wedding monogram lighting system can seem complex at first but really only contains a few components:

• Gobo (a template that fits in the gobo light with the image you will be projecting)
• Gobo light (specialized light that can project a gobo)
• Lens (allows you to focus the image projection)
• Light stand
• Extension cable

You'll need to start with a monogram design. This design could be based off of one you already have from wedding invitations, save the dates, or you can have one designed.

You'll need to get your monogram design created into a gobo template. Make sure you get the right size template for the light that you'll be using. You'll also want to make sure the gobo material you are using is a good match for the type of light you'll be projecting with. If the light you are using features a halogen bulb you can use a glass or steel gobo. If the light you are using is an LED based light source you will most likely be able to use a transparency, glass or steel gobo.

If you find a gobo light online do not forget that you will need to get a stand with the right adapter to fit your light, cable and case. Depending on the type of angle you'll be projecting on, ask to get the gobo keystone adjusted to fit the location where you'll be projecting from the gobo manufacturer.

It can be difficult to handle all the aspects of creating your own design, finding the right lights, etc. Usually in most markets you'll end up paying around $ 500 to project a high quality wedding monogram gobo at your event.

One other option is to look into a packaged wedding monogram light rentals specifically for weddings. These types of places will help you every step of the way so that everything is ready for you to project the light at your wedding. Generally these types of options will be half of what you might normally pay from a lighting company to set it up and provide it for you.

If you live in a rural area renting a monogram light package can make a lot of sense because it may be very expensive for a lighting company to come in from a bigger city.

Bottom Line
It can be very hard sourcing the components, design and setting up a monogram light on your own unless you get help from a company who can facilitate getting all of the pieces you need together and letting you focus on the wedding. In the realm of projecting monograms you get what you pay for. Cheap projectors are not very bright and you will not be able to see all the hard work you put into creating the design and the light for your wedding.
