I think that is all they need to know, but that is just me personally.It makes no difference if the speeches are before, during or after a meal.  I fail to see how this is even relevant.  Most speeches are done behind a lectern.  Besides getting a few shots with the speakers eyes looking up (not reading) - have to get the timing spot on I try and get an angle that shows the speaker at the lectern and the whole bridal table in the shot too to show any reactions of the bride and groom.First dance, I ask the couple if there is anything specific I need to know - ie lifts or dips or twirls and roughly when they are so I can be as prepared as I can.  I usually let them know where I will mainly be (so I get the best light for the B&G), so they know to 'point' that way if possible when they are doing said lifts or dips or twirls... but it doesn't always work out, they have enough to think about so I see my job as being able to be completely flexible and move swiftly and unobtrusively as to get the best images for the bride and groom.</blockquote>
