The Disco will only be an issue if you are gigging at the evening doo.
You will find that in most venues,the bar area, is away from teh main hall, and therefore if Volume is an issue, concentrate your efforts there. Which makes a bit of sense, since at every wedding Ive been to, thats where the audience hangs out. Cuing for the bar.
Also, find out if other forms of diversion is planned. If for example they have booked a casino thing, as many do, then they will be setting up in a quieter zone.
and also dont forget to get there a little bit earlier than you are expected.. Weddings have a habbit of going off track. they never run to time. They hit lulls when least expected, and the father of the bride, or the best man will remember that at least one of the entertainers turned up on time.. and will reccomend you to others.

you're like Yoda.you dont say much, but what you do say is worth listening to....
