Depending on your wedding party or via people who will walk and stand with you, there's some helpful information on pinterest for processional order as well

Djs typically only play ceremony music at a nonreligious ceremony held at the same location as the reception. Otherwise church musicians takecare ofit.

The officiant and groom typically enter at at the start of the 30 minute window.
The dj and officiant do these things multiple times every weekend.
