I've done that before as well - told the wedding party before they entered that I'd be gesturing for a stop a few steps into the aisle and it worked out fine.

I meant to say shutter priority during the processional and then switch back to aperture priority once everyone was in their places. I remember one time in a very dark Mission when it was very dark outside that I had each bridesmaid, flower girl and the Bride/father stop halfway down the corridor upon my hand gesture, then let everyone admire them (about 5 seconds) and then I would gesture them to continue their walk. During that 5 seconds I would fire off about 3 pictures and of the shutter could be very slow, usually around 1/30. It worked fine and frankly it was nice to have that 5 seconds so everyone could enjoy having a good look, so often wedding parties zip down the processional way to fast ;)

All, Sorry for the delay in answering here. (death in the family)
Very good advice. If you are shooting raw, you are pretty covered, and can easily correct the color. If you are a JPEG shooter, then I would suggest a custom white balance to start, then fine tune in post.

As was said, one of the main things in a darkly lit church, is to take control, and stop people as they come down the aisle for a quick shot to avoid motion blur. Noise is perfectly acceptable, even though people tend to freak out about it. Shoot, if it was that awful, there wouldn't be an "add noise" filter in photoshop. If anything, if it is there, don't apologize for it, consider it a "film look". Using 800,1000, or 1600, or pushing a lower iso like 400, would result in noise (grain) in the film days, and it was, what it was.

Thanks for tuning in - I'm sorry you had a death in the family to contend with.

I always shoot in raw and process in Lightroom. Between us, my sister and I have great L lenses so I think we'll have it covered, thanks to the advice received on the Hog. I will post pics after the event (for critique of course).
