Welcome to another exciting episode of Ask the Planner Podcast! I'm your host, Desiree Adams, and today I'm spilling ALL the tea on why I hate the Knot (and where I think you should find your wedding vendors instead!). We had a reel go viral about this very topic last year, and it was so interesting to see  how many people had no idea how the Knot operated on the vendor side of things! If you're recently engaged and trying to find your wedding vendors, this is a must-listen episode. Plus, don't forget to stay tuned until the end for my top tips on finding vendors who are the best of the best and share your values. Let's jump in!  To fast-forward to a specific part of the podcast episode, check out the timestamps below: Why I HATE the Knot Lack of Vendor Vetted Process [04:15]Inaccurate Pricing Information [07:48]The Knot's Business Practices [11:04]They REFUSE TO TAKE ME OFF THEIR PLATFORM [13:10]Better ways to find vendors Your Wedding Planner or Other Trusted Vendors [15:15]Social media [16:09]Local and regional wedding blogs [17:05]Bridal shows and expos [17:55]THANK YOU TO OUR PODCAST SPONSOR!  Visit the ASK THE PLANNER Wedding Planning Templates Shop –  Use code PODCAST10 for 10% off!Are you a fellow wedding planner?
