Event Photographs - Opinions?

I am usually a nightlife/nightclub photographer, meaning I have a particular style when it comes to my nightlife work...vivid, near accurate skin tones, contrast and colour.

But, on Thursday Night, I got a message from a friend asking if I could photo their event Friday night. I, of course, had little to no time to prepare as I was working Friday day so did not really know what to expect. I think it went alright and was not my usual kind of event.
The event was in a church, mainly candle's lighting the place with a few tungsten lamps in corners.
The scene was fairly dark (ISO 3200-6400 @ f2.8 @1/60-80).

I decided to try and reflect the warmth of the event by trying to stick with a warm edit, with the blacks pulled up via curves to give the smokey look.

Anyway, my point is, how do you decide "on a look" and is the look I have chosen, and would you change anything:
a) Is it a good look?
b) Does it reflect the scene well?
c) What could I do to improve the PP on these as a set?

I think I have a few days to a week to get these out and would like to make them as decent as possible of course in the time frame.

Any help would be absolutely fantastic! Sorry if it is the wrong forum sub section, but I didn't quite think it fitted in with most of the topics in "People".

My first thought is that they're a bit too yellow, but other than that I like them.

Thanks . Exactly the sort of thing I am after.
You mean I should reduce the yellow saturation or decrease the WB temp?

Just pulled the warmth down. Much better looking set now? (A good 70 of them to do mind...just want a starting point to keep referencing from as I edit).

All quite new to me these kinds of events.

I hope you don't mind if I critique theses shots individually--I understand they may not be representative of the rest of the set.

1-looks great to me except it feels foreground heavy to me. Pull the crop up from the bottom.
2-a bit of a mess in terms of lighting and subject. I'd have tried to simplify the scene by controlling light in the foreground (off-cam flash probably, ceiling or wall bounced, coming from the right). I think you needed to be closer.
3-DoF. You needed to be at f/4-ish. If you were at ISO1million already, then you needed light that would have allowed the f/stop you needed.
4-you satisfied the technical aspect in terms of putting focus on (part of) the weird squiggle of food, but the presentation seems not to be ideal. I'm not saying it has to look delicious (maybe it wasn't, maybe it looked terrible); but I feel like another orientation would have caught the geometry of the food presentation a bit better. I'd have tried shooting from directly above.

5-
6-good control of verticals of architecture here, which really helps bring out the chaos of the lines up above. It's a bit flat--I think it would have really benefited from a more controlled use of light (even a single off-cam flash)--but I still like the shot.
7-shooting candids is really really difficult. But I feel like it's a cheat to grab shots of people using their phones / taking photos, even if that feels like it's often the only time people aren't self-aware (or photographer-aware). Their activity makes the photo not so compelling to me. Get closer !

Thanks for the critique.
I have not even started cropping these shots yet, only looking at syle to begin with. I just randomly grabbed these as they are all different things to get an idea of how the style would feel over an entire set.
Sadly, I could not pose subjects and it was a fine dining restaurant, so flash in face was out of the question really. I did use some flash bounced off the roof, but it was a good 20m+ high and only gave about a 1stop advantage on full power with a 430ex.

It was dingy, ISO 6400 @ 1/40-80 f2.8 for about 75% of these, it was mainly candle lit for the last 2/3 of my stay.

It would have been nice to have had more than 18 hours notice for it, I had no idea about the model shoot, location, food, lighting etc. until I got there.

Definitely kicking myself on the group shot, I should have f4'd it...having been doing group shots of people in clubs, I should have thought but not used to using a longer lens (usually have a 17-40mm in a nightclub environment).

I will keep everything you have said in mind if I ever get asked to help out with a similar event again! Very different to my usual nightclub and bar stuff ha!

Any positives to take away though? Like "I like that, do more of that"?
