Never have been an engineer, howver I do like trains.
There is a train section here on the UHH forum.

Thought this event would be a good start to using the camera! And will be bringing my pocket camera any advice would be greatly appreciate thx .
No such thing. And if you are not the hired professional photographer you will most definitely be in the way. If the couple is smart, they will advise you to leave the camera home and enjoy the event. When I used to do weddings, I wrote into my contract that I (and my second shooter) were the exclusive shooters, and if they were unable to manage their guests and their cellphone cameras and everything else a)they would be in breach of contract, and b)there was no way I could guarantee that I could take the entire shot list.
My advice is "don't be that guy/gal"
Wedding photography is very demanding and very easy to screw up even if you know what you are doing - they are not places to learn photography. Resist the temptation to bring any photo gear and enjoy the wedding and the reception.

Mix some auto mode pics using Raw/Jpg and review the settings that the camera selected.
That should give you a good baseline for future.
Using those numbers you can adjust iso, aperature and shutter speed to get the same results with your likings

Before one knows what exposure setting is needed one has to know how bright the subject is. So go measure the lighting condition of the place.
If you describe the place we can make an educated guess as to how bright it is but go and measure is best.

1/125, f/5.6 and ISO 200 that should give a black image. Then you can increase ISO from there. Shoot RAW as you will need lots of post processing.
Experiment and test in your house in dim light too...

Ynot, you just learned a valuable lesson. Never ask a question on here if you don't want many, many answers, all usually different. They will range from putting your equipment down to, maybe a decent answer from someone. The answers will come from people ranging from good photographers to a..holes. Just saying.
There are no "expert" photographers, except me, of course. Just have fun, learn your camera and experiment. Again, have fun. That's the whole point!
There are no dumb questions, just a lot of dumb answers with, maybe, a decent answer once in a while from someone really trying to help. No, I don't have an answer to your question. See, even an "expert" will not have an answer sometimes!

Set your ISO to 12,800, and the exposure compensation to -.7. Put the dial on P, and shoot with just the 18-55. You should be fine. Do not use the flash except for maybe a full length portrait of the couple, or a group shot of the whole party.

Settings???? The lighting and type of lighting will determinate those settings.
Leave the camera at home. Enjoy the event. If you have a cell phone use that.
