If you go this route, maybe pony up a little more money and try out one of the dream lenses, it might make it cheaper for shipping with two lenses. You might as well play a little if you have the chance!

I don't know anything about lens rentals, I thought there were a couple well known ones that make it across this forum and fredmiranda.

I used Resellerratings, and saw only one review for that one. There is PictureLine with a good rating.

Also RentGlass, I think I have heard others talk about this one. $46 for a week on the 17-55, for example. Double that to include the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS!!!!!

I don't think you'll need the infrared remote. You'll want to be with the camera to make sure everyone is smiling and not blinking
The Lens(17-55) sounds good
The Ladder/stepstool, having the people looking up helps to get all the faces, you can get twice the people in a given area with camera elevation
A tripod and cable release
Get your lights higher than the camera
