Wedding ceremony music: the postlude

Kirsten Palladino 1 min read

Choosing your wedding ceremony music can be daunting: Do you go traditional or mix it up with modern? Classical wedding music isn’t reserved just for heteros. Gays and queers have history in the classical sense too! Here’s a lovely selection of a couple of traditional and not-so-traditional ceremony tunes for your postlude (the sweet music following the processional after you and your wedding party have exited the ceremony space). Share your favorites in the comments! YouTube video links welcome.

“Water Music: Air” (Handel)

“Exsultate Jubilate: Alleluia” (Mozart)

“Waltz in A Flat” (Brahms)

“All You Need Is Love” (The Beatles)
