Halo, this is what I do and it works for me. Arrive a little early. Determine the party, lots of action etc. Start by setting the white balance to tungston or floresant which ever you need. Set to shutter priority, set iso to 100. Take a test shot for color. Adjust up or down white balance setting until your happy. Decide if you want to stop motion or depth of field and set. I start at around 160 or 200 shutter priority and check the aperature for the dof that you want. I will toggle between SP and AP to suit my needs. Adjusting as I go. Make sure that you keep the SP at a level to not introduce blur, if no blurr is what you want. I almost never do manual or program or auto. I want control over aspects of shot. I shoot with raw + jpeg. jpeg is so I can share photos as needed. The raw ones are for more control cause the settings do not affect the raw file. I then adjust the raw file as needed. The original raw file is untouched as it is my negative. Hope all this helps.
