A Resounding YES! : ) That’s one of the biggest benefits to Digital Monograms.   We used to have to wait a week or two for metal gobos to be specially fabricated but not anymore with Digital Monograms!

Hooray!   We’re glad you’re as excited as we are about lighting!  The next step would be to call or email us with your DATE, VENUE, and SERVICES you’re interested in.   We’ll setup a free consultation call or site visit with you to discuss your lighting options and placement.  We work with you every step of the way to help you design the perfect lighting plan!   Please feel free to send us any inspiration photos or ideas you might have so we can get a better idea of what you’re looking for.  After that, it’s just a 50% retainer to hold the date with the remaining balance due 10 days prior to your event.

We typicially book events 6-12 months out so it’s important to call us as soon as you’re ready to make sure we reserve your date.   Don’t fret if it’s sooner tho,  we can handle multiple events in one night and can probably fit  you in.   But it’s better to be safe than sorry so call us today even if it’s just to get some ideas : )

Digital Monograms works for 90% of the events but there are times when traditional theatrical gobos are needed.  These include outdoor events, projecting on mountains, and in some rooms with a lot of extra ambiant lighting that might wash out the monogram.

Anywhere you like… But the best place in our experience is a wall rather than the floor.  The wall offers more visibilty all night long, has a bigger wow impact, doesn’t dissapear when people are dancing and looks great in your photos!   Sometimes the floor is the only option and they still look fabulous but our prefference is the wall.   For outdoor venues where there are no walls,  we’ve projected onto mountains, trees, buildings, in pools – the options are endless.

This is a great way to connect the design elements of your wedding together.  If you want to use the monogram from the wedding invitation or provide your own design, then all we need is a Vector PDF, EPS, or hi res JPG, PNG file.   If you don’t know what any of that is then we can communicate with your designer to get exactly what we need.

You’ve probably seen the word Gobo floating around when you’re looking for your Custom Wedding Monogram and that’s because it’s the same thing with a prettier name for Weddings.  In the theatrical world a gobo (or GOBO), derived from “Go Between” or “Goes Before Optics”, is a physical template slotted inside, or placed in front of, a lighting source, used to control the shape of emitted light….   Basically it’s a little metal disc that has your monogram design cut out like a stencil so the light can go through.  It’s typically metal but can also come in glass and plastic depending on the light used and the intricacy of the design or colors.  For Custom Designs like Monograms, these gobos are specially made at a cost of $67 (metal) -$450 (full color glass). At Karma, we only use professional theatrical image projection lights for our gobos – Source4 Ellipsoidals (750 watt). These are professional lighting industry standards, not to be confused with inferior 65 to 250 watt gobo transparency or LED projectors. Our images are brighter, bigger and more defined.

One way we have started saving money on this is to use a Digital Gobo Projector.
