It's a good idea to make sure in advance that all your witnesses will be at court. In order to ensure that you can have them subpoenaed. A subpoena is a court order that a person has to appear as a witness at a hearing or else risk being arrested for contempt of court.
The other side of the coin however is that if you have to subpoena a witness the chances are he will be resentful and uncooperative, in which case you might be better off without him. It depends on how important his evidence is.
The parties themselves normally do not need to be forced to attend as they will see it in their own interest to attend to fight their cases.
