What flash do I actually need for a Canon 5D Mark IV because I am so confused right now. So I just got this camera secondhand from my uncle who used to do pro work but I have literally no idea how to use it yet. I went to take some pictures at my apartment last night and realized it doesnt even have a little flash that pops up like my old point and shoot did? I feel so dumb asking this but do I have to buy a separate thing to go on top? I have a wedding coming up in about three weeks in Chicago and I really want to take some nice photos of my friends but I dont want them to be all blurry and dark like they are now. My budget is probably around $150 or $200 max since I spent a lot on the memory cards. I see all these brands like Godox and Neewer and then the Canon ones that are super expensive and I dont know if the cheap ones will break my camera or something. I just want something easy that I dont have to mess with too much while people are dancing and stuff... does anyone have a recommendation for a total beginner who just wants it to work?

Ngl you should be careful with those super cheap brands on a high-end body like that. For a wedding, reliability is everything. I would suggest the Godox TT685II-C TTL Flash for Canon. It has TTL so it handles the exposure automatically while people are dancing. It fits your budget and wont fry your hot shoe like some generic ones might. Just make sure you get the Canon version.
