How to make a Gobo Monogram

A “gobo” is either a pattern or custom design that is shined onto a particular surface.

A past bride of mine contacted me after 4 years since doing her wedding, and they were looking to “change things up” with their holiday party being held at the Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club.

Read MoreCan a Gobo Monogram be Moved mid-event?
I sometimes get asked if a Gobo Monogram projection / fixture can be moved in the middle of the event. Say between dinner and dancing. Technically, yes it can. Practically, not so.
