You will need a flash with a diffuser/filter or swivel head. Take a look at the Canon 430ex.

A reflector could be useful too.

You will also need the ability to confidently tell people where to stand, what to do etc. especially hard with larger groups.

there is a wedding photography check list around here too
tripod would be handy so you can manhandle people and come back to where you started
the 70-200 is a nice lens! nice portraits with that one
you might want to borrow something wider though, the kit lens might be good enough, certainly is wide
flash is essential
for close, even outdoors, use the old card on the upright flash technique
don't be afraid to use your flash for group outdoor shots
extra batteries for the flash!
be bossy when required! and make the groups cheery if you can, taking time to get everyone in and not hidden by a multitude of hats!
