Postlude Wedding Ceremony Music
Have your say! The postlude is usually happy, upbeat music for the guests as they leave your ceremony venue.
How much time to allow:
Between 15 to 30 minutes, or 8 to 10 songs. If you’re planning to have a receiving line outside the venue, have a slightly longer postlude so your guests aren’t leaving the venue in silence.
