Hi fellow New Orleans brides! I'm planning from out of town and visited last weekend and found a venue we love - but it is only available on Feb 22. Mardi Gras falls on March 4 this year, so the 22nd isn't the huge parade weekend, but I'm wondering if it will still be busier / harder to get around than usual? Also do you think hotels and flights will be much pricier? Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks!
