How a Custom Monogram Elevated a Wedding Reception with Our Wedding DJ Service
Every wedding tells a story — and for some couples, it's the smallest, most personalized details that leave the biggest impression. When Devyn and Jordan reached out to Fog City Entertainment, they had a clear vision: to incorporate a custom monogram that would not only symbolize their union but also leave a lasting mark on their guests.
In this case study, we’ll take you behind the scenes of how our wedding DJ service helped bring their idea to life, from initial consultation to the final glowing reveal. Whether you’re planning your own celebration or supporting a couple in the process, this story proves how personalization paired with expert execution can elevate any event.
Client Background
Devyn and Jordan are a young, vibrant couple planning a spring wedding at Solage Calistoga, a stunning resort venue nestled along Napa Valley’s scenic Silverado Trail.
They had already selected music, lighting, and photography services, but wanted to add something more to tie everything together visually. That “something” turned out to be a custom gobo monogram — a projection that would shine their names or initials across the venue, symbolizing their new chapter together.
With only two months left before the big day, they knew they needed a wedding DJ service that could deliver more than just sound — they needed style, speed, and precision.
Challenges
While Devyn and Jordan were excited about the monogram, they didn’t know where to start. They had no idea how the design process worked, what format was needed, or what type of lighting setup their venue required.
Their wedding planner helped initiate the process, but they needed a vendor who could handle both the creative design and the technical setup — all while sticking to the tight timeline.
That’s where Fog City Entertainment stepped in.
Solutions Provided by Fog City Entertainment
From the first consultation call, we aimed to make the process easy, collaborative, and aligned with their aesthetic. Here’s how we did it:
1. Personalized Planning
After a discovery call to learn more about their vision, we worked closely with their wedding planner, Arleen Planas, who provided the selected font style and monogram text the couple had chosen. This was two months ahead of the big day — the ideal lead time for custom production.
2. Seamless Design Process
Our in-house design team took over from there. We requested a PDF version of the final monogram concept from the couple to ensure fidelity in projection quality. This step helps us preserve design integrity, especially for intricate fonts or flourishes.
3. Fast Turnaround and Approval
Within 48 hours of receiving the file, we returned a mockup of the monogram’s projection design. The couple loved it — no revisions necessary. The speed and accuracy of this step gave them peace of mind and kept the wedding planning momentum strong.

4. Event-Day Execution
On the day of the wedding, our team arrived early to coordinate with the venue and handle the full setup. The custom monogram was projected onto a large wall just beside the DJ Booth — a dramatic visual moment that instantly became the backdrop for speeches, first dances, and countless Instagram-worthy photos.
Results and Benefits
The custom monogram became one of the most talked-about features of Devyn and Jordan’s wedding.
Here’s what it added:
Visual Cohesion: The monogram tied together all the design elements — menus, signage, and even the cake topper featured a similar script.
Enhanced Atmosphere: The lighting created a focal point that elevated the ambiance of the room.
Personal Impact: Guests were wowed by how personalized the event felt, down to the initials glowing softly in the background.
Beyond the aesthetic, the couple were thrilled by how effortless the process was — especially with so many moving parts in the final weeks of planning.
Their review said it all:
“WE LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT! Thank you for being such a light on our amazing day!”
