Ladies and gentlemen, welcome.


Explanation:
If you want to maintain the difference between "tous et toutes", I would use "ladies and gentlemen". Also, it's a sentence often used at the beginning of speeches.

neutral  B D Finch: Unfortunately, the recording cuts off the final "tes" of "toutes"! The English translation, in the best Google tradition, is nonsensical "I welcome you all and to all" and the recording sounds like a badly-programmed robot.
