Orange County Wedding DJ Rocks Fullerton!

Jennifer and Cameron celebrated their Spring 2015 nuptials at the upscale Summit House in Fullerton. Grand Entrance was made to the now Old School, “Whoomp There It Is!” to the delight of the guests as the wedding party danced their way in.

After The First Dance (“Making Memories Of Us”- Keith Urban), a few toasts and dinner, guests danced the night away to a variety of songs including “We Are Family”, “Suavemente” and “Rock Lobster”. Special thanks to Carmen Kaiser and her wonderful staff for making this event special.

For the coral colored uplighting we used battery powered, wireless, flat LEDs with RGBA diodes. The wedding cake was beautifully lit with two battery powered LED pin spots, dance floor gobo was also an LED projector. Two sound active Tri-phase units provided dance floor lighting.

Our sound system was JBL 715 speakers, Crown amp, Traktor software and Pioneer CD/MP3 player, Denon mixer.

Here’s to another great beginning!

Putting Your Name In Lights- The Wedding Gobo

Brides and grooms are putting their names in lights!



Once reserved for events with high production budgets, personalized gobos are an now affordable, eye catching trend.

What Is A Gobo?

A "gobo" is short for "go between", as in a pattern that goes between the lamp and lense of a high powered light projector. These specialized lights have a focus knob that allows the image to be sharp and clear, even when projected over a long distance. Gobos can be projected on walls, ceilings or even dance floors.

Custom wedding gobos can be names, monograms, initials, images or any text or pattern.

For an added twist, consider using a colored gel or glass to highlight your message. Or add an image gobo as a background to your main gobo. Here we did mulit-colored hearts beneath the main message:




Here is a double image- two gobos with the same pattern. One colored and slightly bigger than the other:

Professional Results

For best results, the gobo projector should be a high powered, professional unit with superior optics. It may need to be safely mounted on a tripod, truss or other structure in such a way that shadows are not cast on the gobo pattern by guests or other foot traffic.

Here is a recent personalized monogram we did for a wedding at The Mission Inn in Riverside (apologies for the bad camera phone quality):



Here is another double gobo, white snowflakes over blue:



There is no right or wrong way to do a custom wedding gobo. A little creativity can make yours stand out. For best results consult a pro lighting designer. For more info. on custom wedding gobos go to Wedding Gobo
