These songs can be used at nearly any part of your reception. Some make great entrance songs as your guests are settling in, some are good for the first dance.. etc. You can find them on any P2P program like Soulseek and find clips of the songs on towerrecords.com . This list is for people who want to stray away from the typical songs played at weddings. I put little side notes on where I would stick the song in my wedding. I hope some of you can make use of it!!

Jimmy Eat World "23" (good entrance song)
Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor "Come What May" (this will probably be our first dance!)
Sigur Ros "Sven-G-Englar" (good music for background noise, eating, entering, exit etc)
Explosions In The Sky "Your Hand In Mine" * "The Moon Is Down" (instrumental, makes GREAT ceremony and reception entrance)
Damien Rice "The Blowers Daughter" "Delicate"(first dance)
Death Cab For Cutie "Transatlantaicism" (attendants dance or any really)
Iron & Wine "Such Great Heights" (kinda boring, imo. but it might suit some of your needs somewhere in the reception or ceremony)
Copeland "Brightest"(beautiful first dance) & "When Paula Sparks" (super entrance song)
Boston "More Than A Feeling" (i'm sure a few of you have thought of this, but it makes a cool song for the reception too)


If I stumble on more, I'll edit the post and add them!
