What truly sets multicultural events apart from traditional ones? How do cultural differences shape the way we celebrate life’s biggest moments? And why do weddings from different cultures often feel more vibrant, diverse, and unique? In this interview, I sit down with Cheryl Yiadom to explore what differentiates multicultural events from traditional events, especially through the lens of her experience as a Ghanaian American and an event planner with a deep connection to her heritage. Cheryl shares how growing up in America while staying deeply rooted in Ghanaian culture shaped her approach to wedding and event planning. From the music, food, and clothing of her West African upbringing to the huge celebrations that her family participated in, she found a passion for planning multicultural weddings that go beyond the typical American format.

Cheryl highlights one of the biggest distinctions in multicultural weddings—guest size. In many African, Caribbean, and South Asian weddings, the guest count often exceeds 300 people, with celebrations extending beyond a single day. Unlike traditional American weddings, which tend to be more intimate and last about four to five hours, multicultural events can span multiple days and often involve the entire community, making them vibrant and full of life. Cheryl explains that it's not just the length of time or the number of guests that make these events special, but also the strong cultural elements that are woven into every aspect—from the decor to the traditions that are passed down through generations. For her, it’s crucial to ensure that each event honors the cultural identity of the couple while merging it with personal touches that reflect who they are.

As we continue this insightful conversation, Cheryl emphasizes how multicultural event planning demands a unique skill set—one that requires a deep understanding of different traditions and an ability to bring together diverse cultural elements in a harmonious way. It’s not just about coordinating logistics; it’s about creating an event that feels authentic to the couple's heritage while also celebrating their love in a way that resonates with all of their guests. Cheryl’s experiences and expertise highlight why it's so important to have a multicultural wedding planner who can navigate the complexities of different cultural customs while still making the event feel cohesive and meaningful.

Whether you’re curious about the differences between multicultural and traditional weddings, or you’re planning your own wedding and looking for inspiration, this conversation is packed with insights. We dive into examples of how cultural differences in event planning can impact everything from the size and scope of the event to the specific customs and rituals that make each celebration unique. Cheryl also offers advice for anyone interested in incorporating multicultural elements into their own weddings and shares some incredible multicultural wedding ideas that will leave you inspired.
