Is it correct to say: "I saw at the party"

"I saw her at the wedding"

How is it different from

I saw her at the theater. Should it be "I saw her in the theater"

The first two sentences are fine.

How is it different from I saw her in / at the theater?

When you say "I saw them in the threatre" it means that they are inside the theat

Is it correct to say, "I am at a meeting."

I have heard people use "in," not "at."

Please let me know.

Those are all correct!

Events like parties and weddings aren't a physical place; they're really just a gathering of people based on an idea. So it's "at" for those sentences. If you heard someone say "She was in the wedding", it would mean she was a participant, like a bridesmaid. It's similar to "I saw him in a play": it would mean the speaker saw an actor performing in a play.

Both can be correct, and are often used interchangably. I think that "in" has a stronger feeling of participation, the same as "in a wedding" or "in a play" both do.
