The event leader should just say let us now proceed with the ceremony. There!! No endorsement to whatever specific religion. And for theists, they just need to pray silently as not to disturb those who are there for the ceremony and as a token of respect to the other event participants.

There! No one is forced to pray and no one is forced not to pray. Perfect!!
