Ceremony Timeline for Tiny Wedding?

I have 10 guests, all family, at my 3:30pm garden wedding.

I hadn’t really thought about ceremony structure until today. My final officiant meeting is tomorrow and he wants me to bring a brief outline of how I want the ceremony to run.

All I have is:

-My maid of honor will walk in first. (Hopefully this is enough for people to know we’re starting?)

-My fiancé and I are walking “down the aisle” (up the stairs) together. (I don’t know if I want the photographer behind us or already up on the landing.)

-We won’t have traditions during the ceremony. Just his words, ring exchange, and kiss.

-and then I guess it’s over?


I was wanting to have a guitarist to play music to “gather” everyone for the ceremony, but they fell through.

I don’t really need a “walking out” song, because we are having a mini reception right after, just down the stairs.

does anyone have any ideas to make my ceremony timeline a bit more cohesive? Things I might’ve forgotten perhaps?
