I almost always use the DA 16-45/4 for this type of situation. It's a
very nice lens. If there's going to be enough light to shoot without
flash, I'll sometimes use the FA 35/2. The prime is a compromise on
focal length, but I can work around that at most events.

Or is there a wider lens that you'd use for something like this?
Something faster than the kit 18-55?
