I had just finished a wedding and my area of shooting was very similar - ~3m high ceiling, loads of down lights.
You need a good flash if you require soft shadow pictures as the in camera flash is too harsh and direct.
shutter/aperture - 1/60 to 1/200 and F3.5-5.6
Flash - TTL mode with compensation between negative 1-.03
ISO - 800
Metering - ~-0.3
If the place you are shooting at has relatively even lighting, a couple of test fires to get your settings and your good to go.
With regards to the flash. Bounce bounce bounce. Suggest you be aware of where you are shooting, but you can get great lighting and non harsh shadows by bouncing about 15-30 degrees behind you or over your left shoulder. Also be aware of what walls you are bouncing light off as you may get that reflected light colour on your subjects.
Edit: I should also add why I said left shoulder. As most flashes (bar the most expensive ones) can only go 180 degrees to the left and 90 degrees to the right.
Cheers
Rob.
