For events like this, I generally use the FA 35/2. It's fast, yet it's wide enough to give you coverage in tight spots. Depending on the level of illumination in the room, it might be tough to get enough available light to use the 77 indoors. You'll want at least 1/60th shutter speed, even with shake reduction.
