Corporate greed is destroying small businesses and we’ve had enough.

I was impacted by the fake leads and broken promises of the knot. As a small business owner who put trust in them.. it’s time to bring them down.

So many florists have been being robbed for years. We are almost all small businesses. It's hard enough to run without being taken advantage of in this economy

For all the fraudulent leads, fraudulent business practices and the waste of my time on earth replying to fake leads I'd like to see The Knot and its private equity bastards put out of business and never allowed to operate in this sector, let alone another, again.

I was a vendor for this company and have dealt with their fraudulence from the beginning. They now have me in "collections" for non payment on something they won't disclose for. Arguing with them for months to cancel my subscription then claiming is what I owe for? I have no idea. What a scam of a website/company and the people that work for them are just as shady and should be looked into

The Knot is a fraud company. They sell you on ad space then send fake customers to make you believe it working till its too late to cancel

Time to stop the abuse on small wedding business owners. Congress hold this company accountable!

It’s unfair/illegal practice that has hurt the small vendors in particular!

I have received nothing but bot leads from The Knot. My website with a $0 advertising budget receives more real leads.

The Knot / Wedding wire has been defrauding small businesses for years! All we have been getting from them is fake leads and same text messages from their bots. It’s impossible to cancel the service and get your money back, impossible to get connected with customer service.

We have been with The Knot and Wedding Wire since before they merged. The amount of false information, deceptive practices, lies and unfulfilled promises is staggering. They just offered be a discount but ask me to sign an agreement that would lock in for another year. When called on it they said they could not change the language and could not reword the agreement.

I believe The Knot/Wedding Wire deliberately misled me by locking me into a contract that offered exactly zero return on my investment. With the exception of maybe two leads, every lead I got was either from a bot or from a bride booking a wedding hundreds of miles away- because my listing showed I offered services there. I didn’t book a single wedding through the listing, and I ended my relationship with The Knot as soon as my contract was up.

The amount of bride bots they designed are insane. After spending thousands with them and receiving hundreds of fake brides I’ve had enough. I even talked to a dude on the phone and told him about the bots and he acted like it was new information. I have a story which I’ll discuss over the phone. I’m too mad to type it here.

I was scammed by committing to a one year comment expecting real.leads, all I got was several fake leads and only 1 wedding actually booked.

my paid ads with the company never once in 6+ years brought me even one quality. they are either, for a date that is like 2 weeks away, and the worst........ inquiries for locations far outside of my service area and state. i only advertise on this site for placement and exposure, but its complete garbage for leads.
