Shoot in JPEG, you don't need RAW for an event like this. I was shooting my friends family and i did the whole shoot in JPEG. They loved the results. They wouldn't know RAW from JPEG in a million years.

Shoot in JPEG, perfect images for that specific use.
This is Ken Rockwell's take on Raw and jpeg. Some people find him opinionated I find him honest. His take after 30 years of shooting and working with tech people before is a jpg is the same as raw. Raw has more flexibility in post. I often shoot in both and hardly every use the raw. i can tweak in photoshop. That said I realize some are artists with nature and stills an raw has options. This is a must read.

I don't think he is honest. Although a lot of the things he said is true but he wanted you to understand in a different way altogether. So Ken isn't wrong but he is deceiving.

I tend to strongly agree with you...he is spinning it in many respects in my opinion...
I have been "hired (for free) as the Photographer for the events of friends and relative. Sometimes, I just post on Shutterfly for viewing, occasionally I have created a photo album or simply emailed some photos. I always shoot RAW and process - not necessary, but it's my workflow. When I stop enjoying it, I'll change the workflow or quit. I do not envision quitting, soon! Mark

As would I. You needn’t spend a lot of time. Give him the straight JPEGs that look good. Process some of the RAW images to cover the JPEGs that don’t hit the mark. Convert a few RAW images to B&W etc.
Your effort may not be recognized or understood but it’s what we do as artists.

He has a large following but nine months ago I asked him a question regarding D500 and long legs for birding. He told me to sell off my Nikon and go Canon. Kind of turned me off seeing he was pushing Nikon for the most part. I still visit his website monthly though.
I might add that if the client lost the photos in the JPEG format, then he could ask the photographer for duplicates. So the photographer should keep a copy of both file formats as insurance.

I look at shooting RAW and JPEG in this type of situation as insurance of a sort. The RAW is for insurance in case there is a major issue with a photo that may be very desired but the JPEG just didn't come out well. Storage is cheap. The JPEGs can all be delivered and used by the end user as they are or with some simple edits. Today I wish I had RAW files for shots I took 15 years ago as JPEGs. You may decide you would like to go back and edit RAW files years from now if only you had the files. Skills improve and interests change over time. But if you don't have the RAW files you are limited in what you can do with the images.

And I do visit his website because he is about the only one that post where the camera was made. The information is irrelevant to most but I want to know.
