To my mind, the 43mm is a bit tight for social event photography. Group shots in limited space will be tough. Remember that's an FOV comparable to about a 65mm lens in 35mm, nearly portrait length. I think the 35/2 will serve you better. Before I'd spend the money on a 43 limited, I'd ante up a bit more and get the 16-50/2.8. That's the type of zoom most high-end wedding photographers use for working a reception. It would be ideal for your purposes here.
