The Knot's harmful business practices require answers.

They currently have me under an unfair contract when I tried getting out only hour after agreeing

I joined The Knot to connect with real couples and grow my wedding planning business, but the vast majority of the leads I have received appear to be fraudulent. They follow the same pattern every time: the inquiry looks legitimate, conversations seem normal, and a consultation is scheduled, only for the “client” to insist at the last minute on using their own meeting link. The first time this happened, I opened the link and my computer was compromised, ultimately forcing me to replace it.

I was a member early with the Knot. The first year, I was able to get a couple of events from the leads. When I renewed my membership, I started receiving leads that it was either the wrong phone number or emails would bounce back. For over a year, I was not able to make actual contact with 1 lead! I tried to cancel my membership 2 weeks before my next renewal. They told me I’d had to be in writing. So I sent an email but hey claimed they never received it & renewed my membership anyway.

Locked in for a year at over $400 PER MONTH as a new small business. Booked 1 wedding from this site. Definitely fake leads

They said that we would get so many leads, we put up high quality ad content and got 3 leads, 2 of which were scams and 1 was unqualified, over a 4 month period. They were charging us hundreds of dollars per month for leads that didn't exist and gave outlandish lead claims when trying to bring us on. Huge scam

I am a victim of there practices paid two years to be listed booked no clients from it. The leads were scams!

As a small business owner, I signed up with the knot when trying to cancel they will not let me cancel. I’ve tried to lose their marking rules and have only got no more than 10 leads in the last four months.

My business spent hundreds on advertising and only received scam after scam.

I am a Brazilian BBQ catering company owner in Danbury, CT. I was sold a $7,473.60 contract by WeddingPro rep Brooke Terry on February 17, 2026 under time-pressured pricing — told the discount would disappear if I didn't sign that day. After 4 months I have received zero legitimate leads, zero bookings, and was nearly scammed twice through the platform. I emailed my sales rep twice in writing about the zero results and spam — she never responded. I am now being threatened with collections. This is the exact predatory pattern described in this petition. It's time for accountability

I was a knot.com/ wedding wire subscriber who broke out of my contract to avoid more charges and fake leads. It was a nightmare to get a hold of them, to get out, and eventually I had to threaten legal action. I spent hundreds of dollars for nothing but fake leads.

Absolute garbage, zero good leads that actually transpired into anything and bulldozer tactics if you wanted to cancel your membership. When Carly owned it it was at least a bit better.

I signed up with the promise of 20 wedding clients in my budget range. Never happened. Spoke to 3 supervisors before i signed on explaining it was a big financial commitment. After 6 months of no jobs I called to cancel and they wouldn’t let me out of my yr contract. Scam on scam on scam. Been trying to get my listing down for 3 yrs now

As a musician who was coerced to accept their "over the phone 'deal', I received not one real business lead. Every false lead turned into a colossal waste of time and that's exactly what this website is for any vendors. This website has only caused trust issues within my business. I want my money back and they're claiming they're sending me to collections. I am here to help steer others away from this trap.

I have been locked into contracts since they began in 1996. There was a time that it was OK but now I receive nothing but scam inquiries and I've had no contracts from them for at least six months. I have zero business from them. And yet I'm paying $442 a month and if I'm two days late, they let me know. I am underwater with what I paid to what I get out of it. They do nothing to help me.

I am locked in a contract for $150 a month and I am getting nothing for it. I get bogus leads and when I contact the leads I get ghosted my contract is for a year. I called them up and said I wanted to cancel and they said I have six more months to pay. I called my credit card company and was told I can’t do anything because of the contract.

My small business was scammed by this company, for a year they gave me fake leads and never booked a wedding with them.

Stupidly signed myself up with this scam of a company. Seriously, what needs to be done to get these guys shut down? I feel like the evidence is pretty overwhelming here.

Was promised the moon and the stars. When I signed up. The first month was ok but then dwindled. I went through a rough spot tried to cancel and was told I was in a contract. So after a few months of them threatening me I agreed to pay them and they started charging me more. I want out and they deserve to be shut down

I would say most of the leads that received our faith

I feel relieved to see that I'm not the only one feeling taken advantage of by The Knot (and in addition Wedding Wire). I respond, often several times, to clients but have never booked a single wedding, and my vendor site is as detailed as it can possibly be. I am roped into a year contract that I only signed up for because of their promises of multiple bookings that would more can cover the massive amount I'm paying each month. They are an extremely deceitful site.
