don't know whether to take dd (8 mo) to wedding party or not

[IHeartIona]

we're invited to a wedding party (blessing at 4pm, party starts 6 pm) in December. My dh is dj'ing so he has to be there for the party at the start (plus it is his good friend's party) and till the end.
I really don't know what to do with dd - bring her to the party when my dh goes and bring sling etc, or leave her at my mum's and go once I've fed her to sleep. I would only get to the party around 9pm then. her sleep is not good in the evening at the moment (teething, learning to crawl) so I would be really worried about her at my mum's, and wouldn't be able to leave early due to dh djing. plus my mums is pretty far from the party venue.
but then again, she is quite big now, and if I bring her to the party I would be worried if she couldn't sleep in the sling, though then I could feed her when she wanted.
haven't had any other situations like this so not sure what to do.
tell me your experiences and help me decide please! thank you.

Took dd everywhere until she was about 20 months, when she got too lively. Could feed her when she wanted it and then take her into a relatively quiet room to drop off, aftr which we could retrun to the party. Not that we ever tried a wedding. I should think it would work if it wasn't too noisy. Think of all the French, Spanish, Italian babies at wedding parties. (DD still comes to friends' houses for the evening but no longer restaurants )
