Night Time Wedding Tips?

I'm an amateur/intermediate photographer that has been asked to photograph a wedding. I'm needing good advice on the best (and affordable) lenses and soft box lighting equipment for a dimly lit ceremony and reception. Something that will create crisp photos with minimal noise.

The wedding will take place at exactly 5:30 pm (when the sun is setting) at an antebellum home. It will be outdoors and the reception is in the dimly lit side home. They will have several flood light shining on the bride and groom, as well as hanging lanterns, but not much else. No over head lights as the home is not wired for them.

I understand this will be a tough job with a lot of preparation. I'm merely asking for lens / lighting suggestions.

My camera is Nikon D3100

Photography Question?

I'm a teenager and I'm thinking about saving up to buy a Nikon d750 camera, because rn I have a Sony camera but I don't like how it works, so can someone help me decide what lens to get? Because I have no clue what each different lens does so i don't know which one to get. I plan on using my camera for taking photos of my family, but also nature. Can someone help me?

Buy phone gimbal or DSLR gimbal?

I'm looking into buying my first gimbal. I've pretty much decided which one in either category I would be buying. I've only been into photography/videography for about a year. Here are relevant things I have:

Dji Phantom 3 Pro
Nikon D3200
3 lenses (2 kit, 105mm Macro)
Tripod
Galaxy S9
Adobe Suite (all apps)

I'm wondering would it be better to exclusively use my Galaxy S9 and buy a phone gimbal? Or should I buy a DSLR gimbal so I can use the bigger camera? With the DSLR gimbal, I should be able to attach my Galaxy S9 with some adapters. Is that a better idea?

Why are the photos on my Nikon D70 so noisy?

As I've become a little better photographer and I've gotten to know some of the photographic terms, I've noticed that the pictures I take on my Nikon D70 are very unsharp and extremely noisy. From first glance, they look fine and very sharp, but upon zooming in, you can tell there's a lot of unwanted noise. (Examples on my Flickr @ flickr.com/carrickwebb.) Is there any way I can improve upon this and take better photos with this camera, or is this the quality I'm going to be getting with it no matter what?
