My issue isn't a wide angle lens, it's that if I'm shooting with a 23 f2 for instance, sometimes the camera will focus really well on one person but then the two people on the sides are blurry (possibly because they are on a slightly different plain. As you can see I'm still learning but I'm really trying not to F up this party this weekend

If those blurry people are in front or behind your subject, you need to increase depth-of-field by choosing a higher f-stop value, i.e. pick f/4 instead of f/2. Same principle applies if you are positioned diagonally to your subjects.
