What matters most
Map which languages and traditions your guests expect, and roughly in what proportion.
Points to work through
- Balance them across the night rather than segregating into rigid language blocks.
- Confirm exact versions of ceremonial or cultural songs and who approves them.
- Plan transitions between very different styles so the floor stays with you.
- Agree a short do-not-play list that respects every group present.
- Brief the emcee on names and cue words in the languages actually used on stage.
