Yes, I can help with the Saturday plan, and I think the earlier start makes the day easier for everyone.
If we meet around nine, there is enough time to set things out, talk through the schedule, and still leave room for changes if the weather shifts.
For the table layout, I would keep the center clear and move the taller pieces to the corners so people can see each other while talking.
As for the music, softer background sound makes more sense at the beginning, then something a little livelier later in the afternoon.
I also think simple food labels would help because people usually ask the same questions once the plates are passed around.
If you want, I can bring extra napkins, a serving spoon, and that folded card holder from the closet.
Let me know whether you want me there first or if I should come once everything is already in place.

I looked over the notes you sent, and I agree that keeping the afternoon simple will make the planning much easier.
For the seating, four smaller groups sound better than one long arrangement because people tend to settle faster that way.
You asked about timing, and I think thirty minutes between the first setup task and the arrival time is enough if the labels and dishes are already sorted the night before.
It may also help to keep a written list by the door so nothing important is forgotten on the way out.
I can handle the printed place cards if you want, and I still have plain card stock that folds neatly without much effort.
For flowers, I would choose a smaller arrangement because larger branches always seem to block conversation.
Send me the updated list when you can, and I will go through it line by line so we have everything matched before the weekend begins.
