Just in case anyone else is trying to plan their wedding in the French Quarter next April, I found out this week that French Quarter Fest will be the weekend of April 14th. When we originally set our wedding date, the coordinator at our venue wanted to schedule around the festival because of all the issues we would have from the crowds, and she thought the festival was going to be the following week but apparently that date was not firm yet. Thank goodness she still had the following week open since she thought that was when the festival was going to be, and the other vendors we had booked were all able to change the date! And thank goodness I wasn't bothering with save the dates and didn't have anything printed yet. But I still had the hassle of changing the date and a whole buttload of stress yesterday while I was trying to work everything out and waiting for the other vendors to let me know whether they were still available!
Wanted to spread a word to the wise in case anyone else was trying to set a date in the French Quarter in April.
Whoever said it was supposed to be happily ever after is a big fat liar.
