I use a WhiBal as well. It's saved my skin a number of times.

Although, I do tend to warm up my portraits/weddings as the correct white balance often leaves a rather clinical look to the images.

Note, also that with Canon cameras, you can use the WhiBal to set custom white balance when shooting your subject -- change to spot metering, ensure that the WhiBal covers the circle in the viewfinder, shoot it at correct exposure (aperture priority often helps) and then set the image you've just shot of the card as your custom white balance through the menus.

Nikon's require the entire frame to be filled with the white balance card.
