There's nothing I would really see as 'missing' from your list!

With your package make sure you try to get a discount on the rooms for your guests as not everyone is going to want to drive home. Most venues will give between 10-25% in my experience.

It might be worth noting you need a ring cushion. Somehow its always something people forget! Also a basket for the flower girl if you're going to actually get her to drop petals.

At the mo I can't think of anything to add to the list - but just to say, you don't NEED a ring cushion if you don't want one. Xx
