We love learning about your family and your culture. Celebrating the diverse communities that make up our clients is important to us here at SHEE. Let your planner help you incorporate important cultural traditions into your event. Here are some things to keep in mind:
Help us to understand the significance
Before incorporating any cultural tradition, it's crucial to understand its meaning and significance. We will research its origins, symbolism, and how it is traditionally practiced, but understanding what it means to you, your family, and your community helps to ensure that we approach it with respect and authenticity.
Educate your guests
Educate your guests about the significance of the traditions you are incorporating. Provide context through programs, signage, or a brief introduction by a knowledgeable speaker. This helps guests appreciate and respect the cultural elements they are experiencing.
Adapt with sensitivity
Adapt the tradition to fit the context of your event while maintaining its authenticity. For example, if a traditional dance is usually performed outdoors, find a suitable indoor space that respects the essence of the dance.
Blend modern elements
Blend cultural traditions with modern elements to create a unique and harmonious event experience. For instance, combining a traditional wedding blessing with contemporary wedding vows.
By incorporating cultural traditions into special events with sensitivity and respect, you not only enrich the experience for your guests but also celebrate and honor the heritage behind those traditions. It's a beautiful way to create lasting memories and foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of different cultures.
