Leave a Review The Knot Wedding Planner
App doesn’t communicate with website, deleted all my work
Useless, the sheets don’t print. The information doesn’t save. I don’t know why people are rating this app so well. It has to be bots because this is sooooo disappointing.Jp184628
Helpful, but can be better
The Knot is a GREAT planning tool! So many vendors and great offers. I love how it’s so all-in-one with vision, contacts, vendor searches, budget, etc etc! My critiques are more to do with the functionality of the app itself.
Some pages/items load very slowly or not at all. Some links you tap and it just shows you a 404 message.
I wish I had access to blogs/articles/tips on the app instead of going into the site on my browser.
Regarding the website builder, I feel like the user should get feedback messages on why a function is disabled or a change doesn’t occur. For example, I didn’t want my wedding date repeated 3 times on my website preview, so i tried removing the date from the website options, but I figured out when I did that, I removed it from my whole wedding profile! No “Are you sure? This will remove your date from your entire Knot profile” or anything. In the same vein, I wish the website builder was a bit more customizable as far as the blocks of info. Certain items just cannot be turned off, and it’s a little confusing what counts as an “Event” and why there HAS to be at least 1 event listed. I can’t delete them either. A description would be helpful to know what info fits best where! I’d also like to customize my registry so the cash funds appear first. I named our registry link “Registry & Funds” so hopefully at least people are aware they’re there!
Anyway, great tool, but definitely could be smoother!!Show lesstiffgrump
Great for Type A brides!
It’s so nice to have all my planning allocated to one app!! Vendor messages, inspiration board, guest list, website! It’s amazing. My only wish is that I could change the descending order of my guest list - I do not like that the most recently added is at the top of the list. The first people added to my guest list are my must haves- family and close friends and are the ones I want to see on the list first, not the “oh yeah remember that guy we should invite him maybe”. My other wish is that there were more website themes that went out of the way of “traditional” themes. We’re what one might call an “alternative” couple and find it hard to find a website theme that goes w one wedding colors. Although it’s nice a wedding website is through this app, I will probably use a different service to host my website that fits our aesthetic better. Otherwise, love this app and it’s been a lifesaverShow lessMalindabeexo
Pretty Good Overall
The Knot’s app is user-friendly and connects smoothly with the web version. In comparison with other wedding planning apps, I think it’s the best one out there. Other apps are glitchy and contains outdated vendor reccs. I like that The Knots suggests timeline events based on your wedding date, but some of the dates seem incorrect. With Covid wedding makeups still backlogged, finding certain venues/vendors can be pretty competitive and need to be booked ASAP instead of ~4 months out like the app suggests. My other suggestion would be to add a feature where you can add a note to yourself for vendors/venues you’ve favorited. Just a way to keep track of things like their price point, what they offer, etc. And my last suggestion would be a way to send The Knot feedback on outdated vendor/venue information. A lot of times price points had changed, websites were either not listed or broken links, or the company does not exist anymore and it would be nice to have a way to send in that info so it can be updated. But overall the app is incredibly helpful and it’s free!Show lesslaurap957
Glitchy
I really like that there is a lot that you can do from the app. However it glitches a lot. Multiple duplicate messages, missing messages from/to vendors. When I “heart” a vendor sometimes it stays sometimes it disappears. Which is very annoying. When you make changes, it either takes awhile to update or doesn’t at all. It is however nice to have almost everything in one place. I do like the concept. I would be nice to have an option where both my fiancé and I could collaborate together from different places. We take turns doing communicating with vendors. Mostly because we have different work schedules and it does help when we aren’t together to get things done. As well as it allows both of us to ask questions that we may have. Only problem is, think it would be helpful to the vendor to know which of us is talking. Rather than trying to cater to one person who appears to have multiple personalities. Aside from the above and navigating the different areas could could be improved, I do like the app overall.
The glitches though…. When you’re a tad stressed…. 😣Show lessMs Chung
A very well organized app
When I started planning my wedding, I had no idea what to do. This app has been instrumental in the process of planning. The Knot has thought of everything, and designed a very smart app to incorporate it all. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by planning, but the app’s checklist function helps break the process down into manageable tasks with customizable deadlines to keep you on track. The guest list function is phenomenal, allowing you to keep track of who’s who and has an rsvp tracker which is excellent, especially when used in conjunction with the website rsvp feature. The website builder does everything it needs to do, and offers a modern way to get the details out to your guests. It also has a registry feature so you can connect your various registries or even add a cash fund. Speaking of money, the app has a budget tracker which is top notch. A girl could do all this stuff and keep track with excel spreadsheets, but why go through the trouble when the Knot has this great application? All in all, I highly recommend using the app, even if you don’t plan on using every function.Show lessV4LKYR1ExONE
Great tool to help stay organized, has a couple limitations, though
I used this app for my daughter’s wedding! While it was mostly adaptable for our specific needs, it did not have very many suggested vendors for our local area! Most were big cities miles and miles away with a huge price tag!
The app had just a few glitches (some parts of the check list were difficult to edit and when we tried to manually add the event location on the webpage, it would not save it)
Also, we tried to go old school at the wedding with a Polaroid photo guest book as we’d seen that done before but the rain put a damper on that idea as guests were having to wait in the rain for that. It got pushed aside so we didn’t get a guest book. That being said, it would be nice to have the capability of allowing guests to be able to upload photos to a digital guestbook on the couple’s webpage, either on the wedding day or afterwards. There’s other apps for that but it would be more convenient to have it all here! (And I did try using “The Guest” app but no one seemed interested in figuring it out and the free version was limited) There is the capability to “send a note to the couple” under the RSVP on The Knot but no way to upload a photo as far as I can tell. I did add a guest book title to the webpage but only a manager can upload a photo and edit. Others can only view it.
Overall it’s great to help stay organized and gives helpful time line suggestions and tips!Show lessBadgettCrazy
Amazing Program
The knot provides so much useful information from having a wedding checklist to developing a website and so much more. The website provides general information that you may need, but you can eliminate it if you don’t need it and add topics that may be beneficial for you. The knot also has ways of connecting with vendors such as photographers as well as beauticians. One adjustment could be trying to update it based on smaller towns since I’m in Wyoming it didn’t have as many options which is understandable. Also the website you couldn’t create your own template yet, but hopefully that may be an option in the future. The checklist was super beneficial and based on the type of planning that you may need as an individual whether you need specific help or generalized help. I was also able to eliminate what I may not need, so those options wouldn’t appear later on in the checklist. They also had useful forms that described more on specific subjects such as an emergency wedding day kit and what to include in it. There was so much information that helped me along the way as I went, and I loved the positive feedback whenever I marked something as complete. I was also able to create a registry onto my website with a cash fund for guests to place funds for our wedding. This was super beneficial and helped to create the unique Harry Potter wedding that I wanted. Thank you 😊Show lesslynnCalways
Best wedding planning App
This app has been wonderful to work with! I’ve mainly only used it for guests lists and managing RSVP’s but that alone makes the whole app worth it in my opinion! The only thing I had difficulty with was not being able to change the RSVP deadline. My wedding is May 22 and the app wouldn’t let me set the deadline to any earlier than May 1st. The one other thing was you can’t choose to send rsvp reminders via text to a few people and via email to another group, you have to choose either one or the other OR you can choose both (I think). If you use the website to do this it will show you who responded to your text reminder whereas the app doesn’t do that but that makes total sense. There is always more function ability though a web browser verses an app. All together SUPER great experience. I highly recommend the knot and their app to anyone!Show lessDocSauer
Great App But...
This is a fantastic app to get your wedding planning started. You can create a vision board, search for any kind of vendor possible, create a website, guest list, and a good bit more. However, i have come to find out with the app vs. the website on a computer it is a little more detailed on the computer. For example, looking at my vision board on the app it lumps all my photos together but on the website it automatically created “Reception” “Ceremony” “Flowers” and “Ideas & Favorites” categories that you can put the photos in. These categories are not visible on the app so if i ever add a photo from my phone i have to then go on the computer to put it in the right category. Also, definitely still use your normal search engine to look for venues. During my search there were quite a few that were either not listed on the app or had no photos to show but turned out to actually be nice and reputable venues after a google search. In general, definitely a great app to begin planning and stay organized but i would not make this your only source of wedding planning.Show lessAmh_0321
