You should try turning up your exposure comp up to + 2-+3 this will help a lot but won't give you a faster shutter speed.
This answer is completely misleading nonsense, all that would achieve is to overexpose the photographs by 2 to 3 f/stops.

I have a Df and it is great in low light situations as long as you have no interest in video you may want take a serious look at the Df.

From what I've read, the new D750 is excellent in low light and high ISO.
Just one of the many reviews.

It is not the camera it is the lens. Get a good fast f1.8 or lower 50mm and you will have plenty of light and be able to use a lower ISO. BTW I seldom if ever use a flash!

You will be happy to know that Nikon dominates in this arena, but the new Sony A7s tops the list, barely, over the Nikon Df:

The Canon 6D should be in that list, IMHO.

Actually my eyes were opened as I worked with a photographer shooting in a dimly lit warehouse at 1/2 sec. Using a D4 on on tripod with remote shutter. Tripods and monopods are an overlooked tool.
For your situation you may not want to spend the $s for a D4. An alternative is a D600 or D610 with a high quality fast lens such as Nikon's 70-200 and or 24-70. I have done weddings and other church images with this combination and very happy with the results. Oh, and the D600 controls are almost identical to the D7000.

thanks photo friends..looks like I had the wrong equipment for the job. I thought the 18-200 would help me but it lets little light in....so I stopped using it...those high end cameras sound nice but the only way I can afford one is to sell my d7000..i like this camera and would like to keep it for a back up so I will wait on a new purchase for now. but my next camera will be a large format one.

Nikon D4s is the low light champ when it comes to getting a useable picture at all costs but the D810 may fill your wedding photo needs better because of its 36 mp sensor. I don't have enough experience with my 810 in low light to make that comparison. Maybe visit a real store, take your own cards and take a few low light pictures with each camera body using the same lens. Then take your card home and compare the two sets of photos as you process them. Would be an interesting magazine story.

The 6D ranks 28th in the listing, highest of all the Canon bodies.

If you want to post a raw file example of a noisy image from your camera, I would be happy to spend a couple of minutes running it through DXO Optics Pro 10, which has the best noise reduction I have seen - they call it Prime. And it is noticeably better at analyzing noise and separating it from fine image details than NoiseNinja, DeNoise, DFine, etc etc etc.
