A large edited jpg of your 1st raw file. As far as why this one isn't as sharp as you may like, it was between 2 and 3 stops underexposed. Bringing up exposure in post-processing adds noise. When I reduce noise it tends to soften the image and limit my ability sharpen.
I selected camera standard for color, reduced color temp, increased exposure, adjusted blacks and tone curve, sharpness, noise reduction, vibrance, clarity, and a spot or two removed in ACR, then made a couple of minor adjustments in Photoshop. I left the cropping decision for you.

The skin tones seem to be giving some of us problems so I'm going to boldly assume that you're all fit and suntanned with a healthy ruddy complexion.

Here's a shot at your stairway group photo.

My take on editing without cropping. The glare on the painting was very distracting to me so I cloned the arm from the left painting, flipped and blended it into the center painting along with some skin color correcting.

This is a good example of the sort of responsibility that can fall on a wedding photographer's shoulders. For most people their wedding day is one of the biggest days of their lives, and they want a good record of it. If the photographer messes up or fails to deliver the goods he/she will be seen as responsible for spoiling or even ruining a once-in-a-lifetime event. I believe it's not uncommon for wedding photographers to receive hefty fines for failing to fulfill the contract to the customer's satisfaction. And sometimes all it takes is something like tricky lighting. I can see why even well-seasoned professionals can be apprehensive about doing weddings and see wedding photography as a challenge.
