How do you balance a wedding that has bilingual needs? I am American/English speaking and my partner’s extended family is strictly Spanish speaking.

At Fusion Function, we believe it is extremely important to have all your family and friends feel welcome and aware of all the fun that will happen throughout your wedding! Therefore, first and foremost, proper organization is key. Our Fusion DJs and Emcees meet with you and your fiance leading up to the wedding to ensure we have the timeline finalized. We review important names/people, formal bridal party introductions, and all other formalities (ex. cake cutting, parent dances and/or other cultural traditions). We know what is going to happen and when, and we make sure the venue and all other vendors are up to speed before we start each announcement and aspect of the wedding. 

It is also important to include our Fusion Function approach to bilingual weddings – For our team, a typical bilingual introduction will include all announcements in both English and Spanish. We seamlessly transition from English to Spanish multiple times during the announcements so that everyone is getting the same message, at the same time. We also continue announcing/and hyping up the reception in both languages – we are experts in keeping everyone engaged and excited throughout the night!
