I would wait until they extend the offer of employment.

Tell them right away. It shows that you are a responsible person and plan your absences well in advance. It also gives you an opportunity to see how they respond. Don't give it too much attention though. You should express more interest in the job opportunities than your vacation schedule.
Ask if they forsee any problem with you taking off a week in April.

Don't tell them during the interview!
Most people who start new positions will need some time off in the upcoming months, so they probably won't be too surprised if you just let them know right away after you start working there.
The only exception would be if they ask you about upcoming vacations, then you shouldn't lie.

Right up front, They will appreciate the heads up and the honesty, besides if your skills and work ethic is impecible they won't care. Your an investment. IF you wait until after your hired they may resent the holdout for what it was and not cut you any slack in the learning curve especially if your in an at-will employment state.

They will usually ask you when you are being interviewed, if they don't ask, I would offer the information. it might actually be a good talking point as well, my last job i mentioned i was going on holiday and it turned out the interviewer had been to the same place so we had a good chat about that!! And i got the job :-)

Your need is legitimate so tell them as soon as possible. Also ask them what their vacation policies are.
Be prepared that, depending on the firm's vacation policies, you may not get paid for the week off in April. Most firms require one to work a full year or so before paying for vacation time off.

Don't tell them until you are hired, and don't quit your last job until they say that is ok, get it in writing too. If they ask you in the interview, then tell them about the wedding and that you have to be there, but if they don't ask, just wait.

Let them know up front. Do not wait until you start, assuming you will get the job. Everyone knows there is no such thing as an "emergency" wedding. They will figure out that you knew ahead of time and will loose trust in you. It could also jeopardize your continued employ.

let them know about it as soon you talk to them ! that way they have enough notice to acomaodate . They should give you off since it was planned before you got hired . So you need to check with your new employer

There is no need to tell them before you get the job. However, once you are offered the job and negotiations are underway, you need to let them know up front.
