Ok. Still getting ready for this wedding. The last wedding I shot was 5 years ago, and I had my canon 580ex on my 7D with a modifier. Ran everything with ttl and then I could get the shots correct the first time.
Now I have the sony a6500 mirrorless. I have 4 flashes -- 3 canon and a yongno. I can use the canon flashes, but only in manual mode. I've used the flashes in manual, but only for setup shots, not for candids at a reception.
I assume I need a TTL flash to shoot the reception/dance efficiently without missing shots because I have the flash set incorrectly.
Or do I?

For reception, I believe that TTL is going to be a near-necessity. Your subject distance is going to vary too much to rely on manual power control, especially given the grab-n-go nature of shooting a reception. |

Yeah... that's what I thought. Just making sure that there wasn't something I was missing. I really don't want to spend a chunk of money on a flash. I'll probably just use the 7D with a flash and try the sony will high ISO. It would have been nice to just use one camera. |

My 1cents worth is to use ttl fill flash and keep the sun behind the subjects that will even out the contrast.
Down here Blue sky days during summer can be a nightmare with the very high contrast levels |
