Leave a Review The Knot Wedding Planner
A MUST HAVE! And it’s free!
For all my friends getting married: Download “the knot” app on your phone and/or use their website on your computer. It has been ESSENTIAL to all my wedding planning. Unless you’re an expert on planning weddings (which most of us aren’t!), it will list everything you could possibly need to do up until your wedding date. It suggests deadlines of what you need to complete each month, gives vendor suggestions, let’s you track your budget, and build a free website for your guests to look up information, and even rsvp on if you choose to do online, etc etc. It was even super easy to do my day-of timeline. I honestly would have been lost without this. I like having paper in my hand so I also printed the check list just to have it. So, if you have basically no idea what you’re doing or where to start, use The Knot. If someone hadn’t told me about it then I would have never known or had as “smooth” of a planning process.Show lessCbear61234335
Online website/phone app & rsvp
Great website for wedding planning! Downloaded the app & it’s also great! 2 Big things i didn’t and continue to dislike is — i entered manually all my 300+ guests name & contact information on the website through my laptop which was no issue! I then started to use the app on my iPhone & noticed that there was either no address nor the couples name/plus one, for some reason i was able to see the names & address on my lap top but not my phone app, which made it double the work having to re enter all 300+ guest on top of addresses. The app is super slow, but also any changes/edits made on the wedding website don’t update on the phone app! The app is super slow. Otherwise everything else is good.
Though, it should have an option & different section for those guest who were invited to dinner (example: accepts / can’t make it to dinner) and those who were not invited to dinner (ex - Accepts / declines will be there for the party) since not all 300 of my guess were invited for dinner that’s what made it hard.Show lessMjOctober
Great! Very organized!
I preferred using WeddingWire to search for venders just because of the layout. That’s just a personal preference, however The Knot has everything else just about perfect. I used the guest list to figure out who to invite, and the wedding website for my fiancé and I made it SO easy for the guests to RSVP. It for real takes less than 30 seconds to RSVP and we can immediately see who accepted or declined. It’s so helpful! The links to the registry are great also. I’ve been recommending this to my engaged friends ever since. Honestly, I even think the app works better than the website sometimes too. (Maybe it’s operator error, but on my app I can see who has declined/accepted the RSVP in its own section, but the website, I have to scroll through the entire list of names to see what they’ve decided, you can’t click on “declined” and see who all said no. It doesn’t separate it. But the app is really user friendly so I’m a fan. No complaints!)Show lessPippa:)
Organized wedding planning at its finest!
When I became engaged, I immediately purchased the book for wedding planning by the knot. That was a very useful tool in getting started. In there, was the recommendation to use the app. I thought ok, useful to have it on the phone, I’ll check in with it as a backup and the book will be the main tool to use.
I was wrong. The app makes it all easy to stay organized and helps with just every facet you can think of; and its for on the go; very easy to use on the phone.
The reminders were my favorites and I loved checking them off as I progressed through the planning. For the most part, I used the app more than the book and t was great to have both. I felt in control of the planning and not stressedor worried because we worked on everything in a timely fashion, as recommended by you all!!! Thank you so much for the valued expert organizational tools! It was a beautiful wedding.Show lessSmartyMartyMom
Best Wedding Planner!
I have used the Knot for about two years now in planning my wedding. With date changes, changes in wedding styles, and vendors, the Knot still made it so easy to use and changed the dates automatically for when things should be done. It was nice that even with date changes, I didn’t have to create new accounts because I have already checked some things off and dates were different (this happened with other wedding planners). The Knot is also wonderful in keeping everything together for styles, websites, registries, vision board and all the essentials of wedding planning. With the Knot, I can keep all of my guests in one spot with their email, phone number and address right there. I can also put in if I sent the invite, if I received the RSVP and the response of it, what meal they chose (if applicable), the gift they gave me, and any notes I had about them. The checklist was also so detailed and hit everything I needed, but also had the option to add items to the checklist myself if I needed them. I highly recommend the Knot, as I have tried using other wedding planning sites, but this is the only one that made it so easy with EVERYTHING in one place!Show lessKarlay42!(:

Hello all, and specially, to all of the beautiful brides who will have the opportunity of downloading this extraordinary wedding planning app. It have been an amazing journey, my wedding will take place in only 30 days. I recommend this app to any bride to be out there who will enjoy planning step by step her wedding. If you are on a budget and want to save a lot of $$ this app is definitely for you. On a daily basis, I check in, follow the checklist, connect with local vendors, booking professionals with incredible positive reviews and experience, meeting with expert of different areas in wedding planning and organization. The part I love the most is ordering save the date, wedding invitation, thank you, bridal shower, rehearsal and information/details cards because it save me time and money. If you really want to plan your wedding yourself this app is all you need besides the love of your family and friends.
Enjoy!!!

This is a wonderful app.
So far I am loving this app. I however am not that typical white wedding, fairytale, roses and girly - girly girl. I am one who wants off the beaten path with possible (more than possibly) a red and black, black and gray, or just completely black dress. I want my wedding to be memorable with all the things that a traditional wedding just does not possess. Skulls and most things gothic, that’s what (well honestly-we) want. This site has opened my eyes to costs involved and the when, how and the great possibility of how much I am going to spend. So if I am wanting to spend more than what my budget is allowed I know that I am going to have to spend less on something else. This app would have gotten 5+ stars if I could have just really put in my wedding style but was only able to click on one out of many options of the choosing my wedding style questionnaire. I still say thank you for this wonderful app though. I just have to search other sites for with our wedding planning.Show less...,,..
Completely customizable planning at your fingertips
Planning a wedding of any size is no small feat! The Knot app has been stellar at offering comprehensive, user-friendly solutions for: additions or changes to the guest list, along with contact info and RSVP tracking; an easy-to-use budgeter where you can adjust costs and categories; a FREE customizable wedding website; an editable checklist/day-of timeline...I could go on and on! With the exception of building the wedding website, most of the app is very mobile-responsive and data can be entered right from your phone. The full range of features are available online from a larger device and the transition is seamless to the app. I also like how the vendor/affiliate listings are not constantly popping up as ads, but quick to find if you need suggestions or help. The crashes are rare but inconvenient—there was one point where the app wouldn’t open for weeks, but I just went online to continue the planning process. If you don’t have access to a larger device it may be a slight challenge to do things like embed the registries to the wedding website or export your guest list & contact info as a spreadsheet. Overall I’m loving the UX and everyone is amazed at how far ahead in the planning I am (still 4 months out) Thank you to The Knot for this great resource!!!Show less.:Marines:.
Fine if you’re starting from zero
Only took me a couple of days to get really fed up with the app. There’s very little customizing when you get going so if you’re anywhere between ‘I know exactly what I have to do, I just want a reminder/checklist/countdown’ and ‘I have no idea what a bouquet is’ then you’ll either be underserved or annoyed with how many things you don’t need at all they are still throwing at you. For instance, I have my venue booked, checked that off my list, and the app still kept peppering me with nearby venue recommendations. I needed to handle rentals on my own and there was very little help on that front.
Advice to developers: do some light screening on the front end BY CATEGORY. Ask if the user is starting from scratch or if they’ve already decided on something. Ask if all events are in the same place or if a venue is needed for different events. Once you get answers to a few ‘what type of wedding are you having’ and ‘is it in the city or the country or somewhere in between’ questions, HAVE YOUR ADVERTISEMENTS AND CHECKLIST ADAPT ACCORDINGLY!!Show lessAngry-you had a good thing
Good concept if it worked
When you’re getting married, you constantly hear about the knot. While I love it for advice and all their info, as a planning app...USE A DIFFERENT APP/SITE FOR YOUR WEDDING PAGE AND SAVE YOURSELF COUNTLESS HOURS OF TIME, STRESS, AND FRUSTRATION. As a bride, you can get very stressed. This app/site adds tremendously to that stress. Something is always not working. I am constantly having to add things back on or re-delete things. Things will disappear and then reappear later very often. If you delete something, it will look like it is gone and then come back. I had to add on my registries over and over. Guests are constantly calling and asking about where we’re registered or why they can’t find their name on the guest list! I had to make an entire other spreadsheet with everything I needed in case something was deleted or put back on that shouldn’t be. Huge hassle. I say go with a different site for your wedding page. If they fix the numerous “glitches”, this would be a wonderful app/site. I am sure all sites/apps have a few glitches but I have never used one that have this many. For reference, I also made a WeddingWire site and that has had no issues.Show lessbekah915
