Sometimes the noise works to your advantage.
This image was shot about 25 feet away. I hate using mono pods and tripods because I'm always jumping around. Most my stuff I shoot manual. The couple printed an 8x10 of this, you could see about 30% of the noise on the print than what you see from the monitor, but they didn't care at all, they loved the look if it "being a frame of a movie" and the grain they said was "cool". If it's good enough for the client, it's good enough for me. Since then, I've shot most my receptions like that and people love the looks turn out. So, sometimes using 1600 isn't such a bad thing.
