Case Study: Wedding Gobo Projection in Marrakech, Morocco (June 2022)

A client in Marrakech came to us with a clear vision: transform their wedding venue with immersive projection lighting that felt seamless with the existing decor. One of the key challenges was integrating a wedding gobo projector into a richly decorated space without disrupting the aesthetic — and incorporating custom laser-etched monogram elements into the event design.

We successfully implemented a high-power projection lighting solution that projected the couple's monogram and decorative patterns across the venue walls and dance floor, creating an atmosphere that guests described as unforgettable.

Wedding & Event Gobo Projection: Planning Guide

A monogram projector for wedding use is only as good as the planning behind it. The five factors below determine whether your projection looks crisp and intentional — or washed out and misaligned.

1. Projection Surface

Surface choice has the single biggest impact on image quality.

  • Best: Flat, matte, light-colored walls (white, ivory, cream). Maximum contrast and sharpness.
  • Good: Smooth fabric backdrops, plain plaster, or unpainted concrete. Slight texture adds character without losing legibility.
  • Challenging: Dark walls, heavily patterned wallpaper, or mirrored surfaces. Dark surfaces require higher wattage; mirrors create unwanted reflections.
  • Floor projection: Light-colored hardwood, polished concrete, or white dance floors work well. Carpet absorbs light and reduces contrast significantly.

Tip: If your venue has dark walls, request a site visit or ask for photos in advance. A 150 W unit will recover contrast that a 50 W unit cannot.

2. Throw Distance & Image Size

Projection size is determined by the distance between the projector and the surface, combined with the lens ratio.

Throw Distance Approx. Image Width (0.33 lens) Recommended Wattage
2 – 4 m 0.6 – 1.3 m 50 W – 80 W
4 – 8 m 1.3 – 2.6 m 110 W – 150 W
8 – 15 m 2.6 – 5 m 150 W – 200 W
15 m+ 5 m+ 200 W – 400 W

Measure the distance from your intended mounting point (ceiling truss, balcony rail, or tripod stand) to the target surface before selecting a unit.

3. Logo & Monogram File Preparation

Your custom gobo disc is laser-etched from your artwork. Providing the right file ensures the sharpest possible result.

  • File format: Vector preferred (AI, EPS, SVG). High-resolution PNG or PDF accepted (minimum 300 dpi at final gobo size).
  • Design style: Bold, clean lines project best. Fine serifs, thin strokes under 0.3 mm, and very small text may not resolve clearly at distance.
  • Color gobos: Full-color glass gobos support multi-color monograms and floral motifs. Single-color metal gobos are sharper for simple initials or geometric patterns.
  • Lead time: Allow 7–14 business days for custom glass gobo production before your event date.

4. Venue Permissions

Always confirm the following with your venue coordinator before booking equipment:

  • Rigging points: Confirm whether ceiling truss, pipe-and-drape, or wall brackets are available and load-rated for your projector weight.
  • Power access: Identify the nearest 110 V / 220 V outlet and confirm circuit capacity. Most gobo projectors draw 1–2 A at full power.
  • Projection restrictions: Some historic or listed venues prohibit projecting onto certain surfaces (stonework, murals, listed façades). Confirm in writing.
  • Outdoor permits: For outdoor receptions or garden events, check whether local ordinances require a permit for exterior projection lighting.
  • Vendor access time: Ensure your setup window allows for test projection and focus adjustment before guests arrive — typically 30–60 minutes.

5. Indoor vs. Outdoor Selection

Indoor Venue Outdoor / Garden Reception
IP Rating Not required (standard housing) IP65 minimum; IP67 for exposed locations
Wattage 50 W – 150 W depending on ambient light 110 W – 300 W to compete with ambient light
Best projection time Any time (controllable lighting) After sunset for maximum contrast
Mounting Ceiling truss, wall bracket, tripod Ground spike, pole mount, or weatherproof bracket
Gobo type Full-color glass for rich monograms Single-color or full-color glass; ensure gobo housing is sealed

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When should I order my custom gobo disc?
Order at least 3 weeks before your event to allow for production (7–14 days) and shipping. Rush options may be available — contact us to confirm lead times for your date.

Q: Can I project onto a colored wall?
Yes, but lighter surfaces produce the best contrast. On mid-tone walls, increase wattage by one tier. On dark walls, consider a portable white fabric panel as a projection surface.

Q: How do I focus the projector on the night?
All Gobohub projectors include a manual focus ring. Set up the unit at your planned mounting position, power on, and rotate the focus ring until the image is sharp. Allow 30 minutes for setup and adjustment before guests arrive.

Q: Can the same projector be used for multiple events?
Yes. The gobo disc is swappable — order a new custom disc for each event or client, and reuse the projector body indefinitely.
