Another "is this good for weddings" post

Hi guys.

Yes yes, another one of those posts, but hear me out.

I am a retired wedding pro photographer. I used to shoot a Nikon D700 with 24-70 2.8, 50mm 1.8 and a few strobes. Never really bothered with more reach, but it was definitely a weak point in my arsenal.

After a few years, I quit the trade and sold off all my gear, but now a close friend has asked me if I would be willing to capture their wedding next month.

Now here's the kicker, having many years experience as an established wedding tog and have the techniques down pat, will a Canon 760D suffice for a once off wedding? I'm not looking at spending massive money obviously so I was looking at the following setup

Canon 760D with kit lens

70-200mm F4

430EX

I know I have no fast lenses in the kit, but I've been to the reception venue before and it's relatively well lit. Push comes to shove, I can bounce the flash around and push the iso, will the 760D suffice for this?

Maybe a different combo you guys can recommend?

Canon EOS Rebel T6s (EOS 760D / EOS 8000D) Nikon D700
