Optically it's one of the best lenses you can get, no real flaws in it, color rendering superb, razor sharp, good bokeh but it's 100mm  for sharp photos you need rather high shutter speed and thus either you should invest in lighting (I suppose you already did) or use high ISO with all its drawbacks, as someone who did plenty of weddings I suggest you get the IS version, it's worth the price difference, and if you have a growing business you will sooner or later end up with 70-200f2.8 IS, the old one is exceptionally good and quite affordable on the used market. Anyway the 100mm macros both have excellent resale values so getting any as temporary lens won't be a big loss

thank you for the response, I already have 24-70 and 70-200 USM II F2.8 and it covers all the basis for my style of shooting but I need something to shoot wedding rings and smaller objects with. I would use it for the portraits too, with lighting set up, but mainly it will be for actual macro photography.
