What am I missing?

I am booking everything separately as I find good deals and I want to make sure I am not missing anything terribly important. 
This is what I have booked or am discussing to book:
  • Venue for ceremony and reception
  • Tables, chairs, and linens
  • Buffet Service
  • Bartender
  • Cake
  • Flowers
  • DJ
This is what I am doing on my own
  • Centerpieces
  • Buying alcohol as the bartender does not provide it 
This is what I know I still have to find
  • Photographer
  • Officiant

Re: What am I missing?

  • Just some things that came to my mind that weren't covered above

    • Does buffet service include silverware & dishes for the guests?
    • Glasses for bartender?
    • Hair/makeup/nails - book appointments unless you are doing all yourself
    • Are you providing transportation yourself or renting a limo/car?
    • Checking into requirements for marriage license to make sure you have all necessary paperwork on hand (we needed to go & get a copy of my husbands divorce papers from his first marriage from the county because he couldn't find his copy anymore, glad we looked for them a few weeks in advance)
    • Does your venue require you to rent security for having booze there?
  • You also need someone to set and clear the tables.

  • Is the caterer cutting the cake? Who is setting up?

  • I believe catering has someone to set and clear the tables, and the cake cutting fee is included with the cake package I purchased. I didn't even think of those, I had to look back on the paperwork to see.
