Bilingual weddings in South Africa offer a unique opportunity to bring people, cultures and languages together. However, organising such events can present significant challenges, particularly when planning a bilingual wedding in major cities such as Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban or Pretoria, which have a rich linguistic diversity. It is essential to ensure seamless communication to enable all participants to fully enjoy and participate in the occasion. This is where Wedding Interpreting services can provide invaluable support.
At Frenchside, we specialise in providing seamless communication solutions for wedding ceremonies and other events. Our skilled interpreters, who are present at the event, ensure that your guests can interact with confidence, regardless of the languages spoken.

Requesting Interpreters for Your Wedding Day
To ensure a smooth experience, it is advisable to reserve the services of interpreters 1-3 months in advance of your wedding. When contacting us to secure our wedding interpreting services, please provide the following information:
- A copy of the invitation, including the date and location of the event. The invitation should also include the names of the bride and groom for spelling purposes.
- Information regarding the foreign language for which interpretation is required.
- An overall agenda or order of ceremonies.
- You may also wish to share your wedding website for additional details.
Wedding Material Preparation is Key
Once the interpreters have been booked, it is imperative to ensure that they receive all the necessary preparation materials. This includes the pre-written ceremony scripts, poems, vows, speeches and toasts.
The interpreters will practise any materials given, with sufficient time to ensure the clearest communication possible. While we understand that some people leave speech-writing until the last minute, please bear in mind that part of an interpreter’s job is to be prepared for your big day!
Wedding Rehearsal Considerations
While not mandatory, it is highly recommended that the interpreters be present at the rehearsal.Their presence allows for sightlines to be established, last-minute script changes to be accommodated, and ensures peace of mind on the day of the event for all involved.
Interpreter Seating and Set-Up on Your Wedding Day
When arranging seating for foreign language speakers, it is essential to ensure they have access to the proceedings and interpreters. If all your speakers are speaking one language, it is advisable to seat the interpreter or a bilingual person next to those who may not understand what is being said. Ensure your guests are seated next to people who speak their language to avoid feelings of isolation. As a meal is customary for the entertainment, it is also customary for a meal to be provided for the interpreter.
Interpreter Etiquette on Your Wedding Day
Our interpreters are always appropriately and professionally attired for your event, and they do not dress like the wedding party. If you have specific dress requirements, please inform Frenchside well in advance. Interpreters maintain professionalism throughout the event and do not consume alcohol to ensure clear communication.
If you have never worked with an interpreter before, there is no need to stress! We recommend booking an online free session with our Team to discuss some helpful tips, such as encouraging your friends and family to interact directly with guests just as they would if the interpreter were not present.
