Multicultural Wedding Playlists
If you’re like me, you enjoy diversity and often find that in your mates. Honoring the union of two or more cultures means choosing multicultural wedding songs. We have just the lists for you!
Multicultural Weddings
Culture is very important to many newlyweds. Couples often want to include multicultural wedding songs in their ceremony to honor the traditions of their past while creating their future. Latin couples, and couples from India as well as Korea will find many suitable choices in our list of multicultural wedding songs from around the world.
Weddings are a time to celebrate with family, and family celebrations are often guided by culture. These types of events give us a chance to embrace elements of our family life that make us unique — especially when it comes to music choices. Every culture has its own musical preferences and we have nostalgia for our happy place. Drawing on those preferences when choosing your wedding music will forge an emotional connection with your family and guests.
You can use multicultural wedding songs in a number of ways. These songs can help you create a wedding with a multicultural theme. They can also serve as a special inclusion if you are using traditional wedding music in other parts of the ceremony. Including songs from your culture is also a great way to honor a family member who has passed.

Weddings, Culture, and Music
Every culture draws upon rich musical traditions when it comes to wedding music. Mehndi songs and Bollywood tunes are popular at Indian weddings, while some Latin songs are especially good for wedding dancing. Each culture has unique traditions that can be complemented with the proper multicultural wedding songs.
One of the great things about using these songs in your wedding is that you can introduce wedding guests to your own culture. The wedding event becomes a memorable experience that will have everyone talking for years to come. And those photos will look amazing on Insta (okay, “amazing on Instagram”).
There will also come a day when you and your spouse will pause to reflect on your wedding day and be glad that you chose multicultural wedding songs to celebrate important family customs. These memories instill a sense of pride and are something that you can share with your own children someday.
Choosing the Right Multicultural Wedding Songs
We suggest that you and your spouse take time to review this list of multicultural wedding songs before choosing the ones right for you. Don’t feel that you should rush this process. Rather, set aside time together to listen to these classics and think about how they will best tell your story.
You will notice that some songs are more suitable for reception dancing, while others hold to the solemn nature of the ceremony. A good blend of both can be a positive approach, or you may want to reserve multicultural music for the reception or bridal entrance. Your own creativity and imagination are the only limitations when using multicultural wedding songs on your special day.
