I would go 24-105 on the Canon, and a bright prime (50-85mm equiv) for fashionable defocused detail shots and portraits.
I think as a wedding photographer you are very noticeable at the start, and then you fade into the background anyway, particularly once people start getting progressively drunker.

I've got to shoot a wedding for friends next month. I'm not a professional photographer nor are they paying me a professional photographers fee so whilst I'm guessing that they aren't expecting premium images, id still like to do a good job. I've got a canon 6d with the 24-105 L and a 50mm 1.4. the 50mm is a bit soft and misses on autofocus quite a lot. It's a bit of a dud one as I've had the same lens before which was sharp and spot on.
I've also got a Fuji XT20 with the 27mm pancake and a small zoom lens, I forget which one. They like the filmy images I've taken with this.
My thinking is that the Fuji is a little small, whether or not it's fine for the job, big camera says "listen to my direction, I know what I'm doing" and the bigger files and low light performance of the canon would be better.
I'll take both but wondering what equipment I could need to do a better job. Thinking of maybe trying to get another 50 1.4 and hoping it's a better example or maybe a longer prime. Would I be better off just getting a prime for the fuji and doing the whole thing a bit more incognito? I'll also pick up a flash for the Fuji for the evening do I think
