Running a ceremony without a coordinator.

I'm in the same boat. I'm going to go over everything with my dj the day before and trust him to cue the music correctly. We're also going over walking order with the wedding party at the rehearsal so I'm going to trust that they will walk on time. I plan to tell them that the next couple should go when the one before them reaches a certain row.

That's a good idea in terms of when to walk. I'll have to use that. One's of my BM's boyfriends offered to be the cue person for the guitarist so that was a weight off my back. And I trust my friends to know when to walk, especially since we will be rehearsing the night before. I think I'm freaking myself out over nothing.

Can you have whomever is walking right before you or maybe whomever is walking you down the aisle be the cue person? That way they can direct everyone up until you. Also, I would make sure either your guitarist or a copy of whatever music he is playing can be present at the rehearsal so everyone understands what their cues are and when to go.

I am in a similar situation as you, OP. I am going to communicate with our DJ and make sure we're on the same page as far as queuing the music. I have a feeling my mother (she and my father are both walking me down the aisle) will be the one to make sure everyone walks when they're supposed to. Maybe talk to your officiant and he/she can gesture to the guitarist to let him know when to start the music?

Deputize someone to help and put your processional on paper before hand. Make copies for your music person.

Here's the thing; your officiant is the first person down the aisle. We can line you up, but after that, we can't really help you.....
