The Knot's harmful business practices require answers.

We got zero results the last year we were with them. We paid tens of thousands of dollars to them. Very unfair business practices!!

Just have had bad experiences with WeddingWire, The Knot with a lot of spam emails, fraud accounts, and not very helpful. They continue to keep increasing the price and try to lock you in. I have had several account managers try to force you to sign in to their rates without them listening to user feedback.

Such a scam and can’t get out of my contract!!!!!

After long discussions on me not agreeing to pay for advertising on WW and Knot, my profile started to disappear in searches. Over 200 5-star reviews are unusable.

They sent me false leads! They never had a category for my business! They straight up lied and took advantage of me!

The knot has taken thousands and thousands of dollars for advertising while producing minimal return in investment and covering up that fact with fake leads, trying to justify their prices.

As a small business owner, I invested in The Knot and WeddingWire based on promises of quality leads. What I’ve experienced instead is a flood of aggressive scam inquiries pretending to be couples. It’s disappointing, frustrating, and unacceptable. We should not have to spend our time filtering fraud when we are paying for legitimate business opportunities.

Do something please. I've already sent an email

Literally a waste of time and money. A scam. They cannot state I didn’t know how to market. I have 20+ years of marketing professionally.

Horrible business

Not one good thing to say about this company.

I was one of the small businesses that bought in a few years ago.

I deal with fake leads at least once a week. It’s very frustrating and makes me very angry considering how much they charge and lock you in to. Not to mention their platform has tons of glitches and they take months to address them.

It’s far past time for accountability!

My business paid for years of advertising with the knot and wedding wire only to chase false leads that “ghosted” us, deal with spam and potential scam artists that contacted us via their app. Expensive and frustrating.

So much to say so little space

They kept renewing the contract and raising the prices.

As a vendor advertising on this platform for years, I am beyond disappointed by their shady and deceptive practices that have cost me a lot and wasted my time.

I am a whistleblower against The Knot Worldwide. I came forward because I witnessed firsthand how this company has systematically defrauded the American wedding industry. Thousands of American business owners; photographers, florists, caterers, venues, officiants, makeup artists, musicians, planners, bakers, designers and other creatives — have been locked into contracts built on false and misleading claims, only to receive fake, spam, and often worthless leads in return. The Knot Worldwide exploits its monopolistic position to drive up advertising rates across the industry, leaving small businesses with virtually no viable alternative or legal recourse. These are hardworking Americans who trusted a platform that promised them customers and delivered deception. I, and two other former employees spoke up because what we saw was wrong. I urge every affected vendor and every supporter of America's small business community to sign this petition and demand accountability.

My business has been affected drastically from wedding wire. We have not received a good lead, all the leads ghost us after we answer them.
