Bride and groom in a meadow during an outdoor ceremony

Why a whisper set is indispensable at a multilingual wedding

A wedding is a celebration of love, but what if the guests cannot understand each other? At a multilingual wedding, for example between a Dutch bride and a Spanish groom, guests from different countries come together. With a whisper set, everyone can follow the ceremony in their own language. That is worth its weight in gold, especially in the summer months, when many international weddings take place.

What is a whisper set?

A whisper set, also known as an interpretation set, is a wireless system that relays a live interpretation through earpieces. An interpreter translates the ceremony simultaneously and the guests hear that interpretation in their own language: Dutch, English, Spanish, French or any other language. The system is compact, easy to use and does not disturb the atmosphere. You can read more about how it works in What is a whisper set?

Why is a whisper set so important?

Imagine this: the groom speaks an emotional vow, but half of the guests do not understand a word. Without a whisper set, they miss the most important moments: the speeches, the vows and the words of the registrar. That leaves people feeling excluded. With a whisper set, everyone feels involved, which only adds to the atmosphere.

What do couples say?

"We rented a Sennheiser Tourguide set for the interpretation at our bilingual wedding. The set is very easy to use. GuideXpresse gave us neat, flexible service at an excellent price. Our guests from abroad found this addition extremely valuable. And it did not disturb the other guests at all. Highly recommended for a bilingual wedding."
