WeddingWire vs The Knot

I discovered this site by accident. I love this site. Finding vendors through weddingwire is my favorite thing about this site.

I did the same thing, and now I'm hooked on WeddingWire. It is a one stop shop and contact network. I love that. Type in what you looking for from a vendor on time, and come back and get the estimate when they reply. I love that. I have an account over at the Knot as well, but I agree WW is definitely more user friendly.

I also discovered this site, after I got married. What I like about this site vs. theknot is the fact that you post, and communicate with others a lot easier. Theknot has forums, but you have hundreds posting and sometimes your post gets missed. Here you can be sure someone will answer. I wouldn't be able to tell you about the planning aspect, because like I said I found this site after I got married. I don't think you need to transfer all of your planning, i would just keep it there, and just use this site, to find vendors, to ask questions, and that sort of thing. Good Luck!

I moved all my stuff from the weddingchannel.com site. I liked it there ok, but you're right, this one is very user friendly. I had looked at theknot, brides.com and a few others, but none of them grabbed me like this one. I just like the lay out of it and the fact that there's actually a chance of someone answering my questions.

The planning aspect of it is nice too; the checklists, budget tracker, timeline...everything

I love this site, i totally stumbled across it and love love love it!!! I love the planning aspects....and u can access it from anywhere. I also have a profile and created a bio on the knot (see my profile here), but i dont do too much on there

Ive been on theknot.com and the girls seem to get moody if they see the same question being posted (by diff ppl)over and over. Ive also been on weddingchannel.com and that site was ok. no msg boards though (at least that i found). I stumbled upon this site and I love it!

Soon2bmitchel, weddingchannel does have a message board that is...okay, http://boards.weddingchannel.com/ but I like this one better

Hey, I know you! :-) I just stared checking out this site today, and so far I'm finding quite a few things I like better. I'm gonna give it about a week and then decide if I want to start transferring stuff. I always hated the Knut....

This one just seems more intimate than the knot. i found this site through an ad on facebook and barely visit the knot anymore. luckily i didn't have very much done on that one lol so it'll be easy for me to move instead going from one site to another because i have my info spread all over the place.

Yeah, I had an ID at theknot, but I couldn't move around in it very well. Plus, I wanted to add vendors not on their listing, and couldn't figure out how to do it. They wanted you to use vendors already in the database, I think. I LOVE the To Do listing and the budget area for WeddingWire, and I can delete and add my own stuff. It's just so much more "freestyle" than theKnot which is more limitted on what you can do. Fortunately, I hadn't put much info on theKnot yet and was able to just put in an email for them to delete my ID. WeddignWire is SO much better and I've told that to everyone I come across who keep saying, "Oh! Use The Knot!" I'm like, "On no! Use WeddingWire!" They're like "Huh"? I think since theknot is so known, that's the first thing people think of, and they really hadn't gone and checked it out versus other websites. But I've been telling them about what I use and why, and they're like "huh." And since I'm so "PC everything" they're telling others about it.

I have created a profiles on The Knot and Wedding Channel accounts. Wedding Wire is much better! Better profiles and discussion boards! I'll admit that weddingchannel.com does have more helpful resources though. But I love the planning tools wedding wire provides!

When I got engaged I spent a lot of time looking for good wedding sites. I browsed theknot for a while and didn't like it at all. It seemed so cluttered to me. Wedding planning is hard enough, I don't need stress from my wedding website that's supposed to *help* me I came across this site and loved it immediately! Finding vendors is so easy! The budget tool is my best friend. But I really love the developers. They are so responsive and listen to comments and suggestions. I can't tell you how many suggestions I've sent to them that I've seen implemented shortly after! Theknot is all about advertisements but WeddingWire is focused on actually helping brides put together their dream wedding! And the people on here are great too and answer all questions no matter how many different people ask it We've got the same wedding date by the way, hehe.

Happy planning!

I saw a wedding website and thought it was way better then what theknot provides you with. like the graphics and what not. I still havent decided if I should transfer everything. I do find myself on weddingwire more then the knot so that should be my reason to change. Now that I know alot more brides like this one better, I think I will switch as well. Is there any way to transfer all my guests over at once?

I originally started over at The Knot but ended up stumbling upon WeddingWire and absolutely love it. So much more organized and friendly overall. I asked a question at The Knot and had my head chewed off.

Hmm are these posts real or authored by wedding wire to promote its site and diss others? think about it.

WW is a ground to hold hands with other users and sing Kumbaya! TK gives blunt but honest responses. If you are not on the web looking for someone to pat u in the back on your bad ideas then you'd do just fine on TK. Just cos we are getting married doesn't mean the world revolves around us and everyone is supposed to KYA! Yup, i agree! My groom and I have been on both sites extensively for the past 4 weeks and TK pulls us in more than WW. The Resources on TK are unlimited, the tools on both sites offer the same exact funtionality-the tools on WW are just in larger font and looks prettier. We agree that TK wins overall: funtionality, organization, unlimited resources, very useful articles, real-life scenarios, and MORE TOOLS. I love the notebook feature the most.

I am wondering if there is a way to link our wedding wire website to the knot? the reason I am asking is because I think most people go to the knot or weddingchannel.com when searching for a couple....I had never heard of WW before I got engaged...although I am not obsessed! I am just wondering if there was a way..if someone searched us at the knot or weddingchannel that we could link to our wedding website through WW>

I was on theknot.com and the weddingchannel.com and became overwhelmed. I googled knot vs. wedding channel and found this site. I feel it is more organized and less overwhelming. Anyone else feel this way?

Yes, I like this site so much better. Much more helpful reviews of places, etc. Also, the message boards on theknot are horrible and people just insult each other instead of giving advice. I'm going to move all my stuff over here now, which kind of sucks because I made my website on theknot already, but I'm not giving business to something that not only condones but encourages the mean behavior I've seen on that site!
