Leave a Review The Knot Wedding Planner
The Knot is a Game Changer!
When I got engaged late last year, I was so excited but also my mind was going in different directions, “how do we start planning?”, “when do we do this?”, “do we do that?”, etc etc. my fiancé and I were really naive about the whole planning department of our new journey, so (like I always do), I turned to Google. I simply typed in “wedding planning”. There were LOADS of websites listed one after the other but there was one that caught my eye. I clicked on The Knot and the sign up was so simple, that’s the first thing I liked about it. As soon as I signed up, which took seconds, I was relieved to notice that everything that has anything to do with a wedding or just engagement, it was all right there, already organized, all our job was- to look through each section and start picking what we liked! They have a section where they automatically count your guest list for you, to do lists for each little thing that has a due date already there for you, AND you get to be in contact with hopeful venues and get to book at the same time!!!!
I really don’t know where or how far along I’d be without The Knot, I started using the app on my phone and it’s become my best wedding coordinator! I really cannot rave enough about this website! It really has changed the game!Show lessmjfaith
A Planner’s Dream
I do not know what I would have done without The Knot app & planner. I have found and booked the venue, band, dj, photographer, cake and officiant through The Knot. Reading reviews and having a one stop shop to compare prices takes away the headache of planning a wedding. My fiancé enjoys looking through the venue list and we are both very avid planners because of our profession so we enjoy crossing items off our checklist. Its so user friendly and let me tell you how easy it is to build your wedding website! I was able to add my guest list so they can rsvp and even add a honeymoon fund link. According to my checklist I am way ahead of my planning timeline...oh yes ladies this app reminds you what you should be working on before the big day. I am a year away and have already checked off many things off my list. I am a teacher so during the school year I hardly have time to do anything that does not involve teacher duties but the fact that I have been able to plan this far tells you how much help this app has been (all my teachers out there understand what Im trying to say). I highly recommend!Show lessCarly2020
His Queen
I’ve never done this before, so it’s a bit overwhelming. I wished he was sitting next to me now so we could plan this together. He knows everything about me, meanwhile I was learning you....I was hit with a huge surprise and now I feel like I have to be more observant and learning you al over again will it be too tough, because I’ve already fallen in love with my soulmate. I could live my entire life without any of this, because without you, it means nothing. The past few days have been stressful to the max. I’ve wanted to give up, throw my iPad. I’ve felt angry, sick, and mainly....alone. My depression is growing. I know I came about “ US” the wrong way, but my love has always been 1000! You are the other part of me. When it’s dark, you bring upon light, when it’s raining, you are my umbrella. I have never felt so alive and complete until I met you joey and that is REAL! I love u and can not wait to start the next chapter of my life with you. A special Thank you goes out to “The Knot”!! As you can see, I have too much going on and this app is a huge blessing to me and I’m sure my soon to be husband also.Show lessHisQueen8779
Delicious food! Amazing service!
We live in Phoenix and had our wedding in San Diego. It was extremely overwhelming trying to plan a wedding out of state. I called multiple caterers that never even returned my phone call so when I came across Social Tap I knew I had found our caterer!
From my very first call with Brant, to our tasting, to our wedding day he worked hard to help me feel at ease and made sure everything was perfect. I gave him my budget and he gave me my options, he was up front and honest and there were no surprises. We went with the taco bar, beer and wine and everyone is still talking about how amazing everything was including the service!
Brant and his team are amazing!
They did an outstanding job and I highly recommend using them for your wedding! I will be letting everyone know not only to use them for catering but also visiting their restaurant as it’s now one of our favorites!! Thank you Social Tap!Show lessheathertaffe
Honestly the best app out there for Wedding planning
After trying Wedding Wire/Zola/etc I settled on the knot, it is SO incredibly user friendly, instantly uploads edits to the website, tying in the registries is seamless, the tools and advice/tips are extremely accessible and beneficial. It even helped me find some vendors for my wedding and the messaging app is awesome! The other sites are good too but the knot has everything you could want in one place.
The only thing I haven’t liked is the limitations on editing the budget from the app (can’t edit the projected cost just the actual cost) and also when I accidentally mark something complete on the checklist I can’t find it to “uncheck” it.. or the ability to add my own item on the checklist. But I just use the notes section and these are not huge issues..
Thank you for helping me keep my self together, especially since I have an 8 month engagement and need all the help I can get! 💕 5 starsShow lessMcdonaldeg1
A STRESS REDUCER
The knot is seriously amazing. Covers everything from your budget to your honeymoon location. The wedding website you can make for your guests is especially helpful for posting information for away guests and spreading information to a group of people rather than you yourself being the messenger! It’s a great app! Can’t believe it’s freeShow lessjacquelinemarquis67
Best app for vendor suggestions!
I've tried 3 different apps so far, and although I still use all 3 for various things, this one is the one I find myself using the most. It's extremely user friendly and gives the largest selection of vendor suggestions I've seen. It's also very simple to request more info from each vendor through the app. The vendors respond quickly to my requests, and the communication thread is kept organized by vendor type and all in one spot, so I'm not losing it in my massive email inbox.
My only suggestion is to make the app easier to use dually with my fiance. He works in a professional where he is away from home quite a bit, and it would be nice if we could link together and use it together. This way he can see who I'm considering, who I've spoken with and vice versa. It also would be nice when creating the budget and guest list. It would be great if our apps were linked together to be able to add suggestions together when we aren't necessarily able to sit down together and discuss it.Show lesscopper_boom
Great app but feels like it’s in its beginning stages
Gives you a guide of what the basics of your wedding should be (dj, planner, make up artist, etc) but it doesn’t have a search button on the main home screen. If you message someone you can only check from the home screen if you have a notification, then the conversation disappears from the home screen. If you want to resend something or view recent conversations you have to go into the certain section (ie; if you wanna look up your florist conversation you have to go into the florist section, find the profile of the florist and then you can click view conversation). You also can’t view all conversations with everyone you have had with every vendor like Instagram or Facebook.
Also if a certain vendor hasn’t had a review in the app it’s like the vendor doesn’t exist. They should have a questionnaire in the beginning to get into more detail (destination wedding? Mountain wedding? Barn wedding? How big how small the wedding is? Budget?) I think if they got into detail the search wouldn’t be so hard for the user. I am having a small wedding and everything they suggested had 150+ people, buffet style, etc.Show lessscmf0826
Glitchy & the website and app don’t work together well
All the benefits of using The Knot have been so helpful with getting my wedding planned, but I’m so disappointed with how glitchy it is and how the website is so different from the app. If I only used one or the other I’m sure it wouldn’t be as big of a deal, but there are qualities of the website I prefer and vice versa. It also takes awhile to load every time you click on a new section in the app. One particular frustration I’m experiencing right now is that for no apparent reason my fiancé’s “Friends” category emptied itself and out all those guests back under Ungrouped. This wouldn’t be such an issue if it didn’t take ten seconds to load after clicking through each name and switching the group back. Not only that, but once it’s updated the Ungrouped category disappears from Guest List page and I can’t view those guests until I click into another section and come back. For every single guest. It’s been infinitely frustrating and since the website and app aren’t cohesive (there aren’t groups on the website, only households) I can’t do this anywhere but my phone.Show lessElizabeth Schu
The best wedding planning app!
I first started with Zola but switched over to The Knot when I found out that I could look for vendors and message them directly through the app. I could also make a website/have a checklist/guest list etc. so it sounded like the more reasonable choice. I think the best part for me so far has been the fact that photographers have gotten back to me right away (day of or day after) through the app. I didn’t have to give much personal information like I would on their website and the conversation was quick and painless. After several failed attempts to get in touch with independent photographers through their website (it’s like they don’t want to photograph for us unless we are willing to pester them about it!) over the course of weeks, my fiancé and I were able to reserve a photographer within days of starting this app. It perfectly fits in with our budget too, since The Knot offers filter options on the search to help find the right price range. We will definitely be using it right up until our wedding day, and I will recommend it to any future couples!Show lessa_kamino
