How to Make Sure You Have the Right Wedding for You

What’s your wedding going to look like? You’re the groom, and your opinion matters for a lot more than the cut of your tux or the color of your tie. Some people spend their whole lives imagining their perfect day, but “perfect” isn’t really a thing. Instead, start thinking about the wedding that’s right for you.
If you need help making your wedding happen, check out The Knot Vendor Marketplace. That’s where you’ll go to find wedding planners, DJs, caterers, and all the people who can actually make your wedding happen the way you want.

Plan the Wedding You Want

Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming. In the abstract, it feels like there are a million things to do, but that’s not necessarily true. There are exactly as many things to do as you want, and The Knot Marketplace connects you to the people who can make it happen.
There are 25 vendor categories: venues, photographers, videographers, beauty, DJs, bands, florists, cakes, and jewelry, among others.

Now, this is the moment when you might be realizing that all of this stuff has to be super specific to your wedding location, and it does, but that’s ok. The Knot Marketplace works with over 200,000 vendors across the United States, so there’s probably a spot near you.

Choosing a Vendor

Say you wanted to choose a wedding venue. You’d click into the venue category, choose your location, and then search. It’ll bring up a page of results that you can sort by price, capacity, distance, outdoor space, and a few other cool categories. It’s really easy to use, and that’s the whole theme. Having that wonderful, iconic wedding isn’t actually that hard.
What about invitations? Those feature pretty heavily on TV, and they always seem like a huge hassle, but again, pretty simple. You can use The Knot Vendor Marketplace for every stage of the invitation. You can pick a theme, order a sample, and then get the entire pack.

If you’re having trouble sorting through all the vendors, there are a few other things to look out for. Reviews are always useful, and they’re front and center on every vendor page. There’s even a little AI-generated summary, but you can also scroll down to see what the couples had to say. A few other useful things to look out for are any awards the vendor has earned and the “Responds quickly” marker. That’s a good one if you’re stressing about planning.
There’s actually a chance you know someone who has used The Knot Marketplace. You might have even been to a wedding organized by one of their vendors. It’s not much of a stretch considering 2,000+ couples use The Knot Marketplace to connect with vendors every day. And there are already over five million couples who have already left reviews.

Having the wedding you want isn’t that hard. The Knot Vendor Marketplace can help.
