I wouldn't put much stock in theknot, or any other place on the internet. Heck, it might be a good idea to print some of those comments out and address them with her. There are always two sides to every story, and the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle. Ask her directly what her policies are on moving weddings/events, sending contracts, and etc. If you haven't signed a contract, maybe even put a clause in about how soon phone calls, etc need to be returned.:)

As with most things on internet message boards, you have to take those things with a grain of salt. I'd say just worry about yourself and your wedding and don't be too concerned with what these people say. For all you know, they could have been total bitches who gave this woman a really hard time. I would also suggest getting all of this woman's policies and every contract or thing you sign in writing (it's standard to do so anyway). |
I think as long as you do have a contract and keep everything in writing, and also save all e-mails, make notes after phone conversations, etc, you should be fine.
Plus, I find a majority of the women on theknot to be unnecessarily nasty. You'd think they'd be the happiest forum on the internet, basking in wedding bliss - doesn't appear to be that way in most of their threads. I think a big part of some knotties and vendors is their attitude - if you go in with one, you'll get one right back. Be your charming self to this woman, and you'll get a lot more in return. :) |

I distinctly remember reading a post there telling a bride to be careful what she posted on her wedding website because there have been issues with some The Knot brides screwing with other bride's plans! She went on to say that there was once a bride on the sitewho was jealous of another bride for booking the cake baker she wanted for her own cake (who was apparently booked solid). So the psycho bride went to the other bride's website, found the bakers store address, Googled the phone #, [B]called the bakery pretending to be this other womanand CANCELLED her cake order so she could book hers! That is totally insane. Not to mention the other crazies who post things like: "OMG I'm sooo mad at my Maid of Honor for not being able to come to my bridal shower!! I mean, like, who cares if her grandmother broke a hip and is having surgery this weekend! This is my big day and it is sooo much more important than her little family drama!!" |
The people on The Knot are insane!!
I too am the MOH for my friend who is getting married next year, and I peruse the wedding message boards, looking at dresses and ideas and to generally help her out. Most of the time is surf weddingbells.ca and canadianbride.com. The ladies on thse message boards are warm and friendly. The "ladies" on The Knot are seriously derranged and I can't believe anyone is marrying them. Plus I hate the way their message board is laid out. I find it really hard to read. |
Thank you for calming my nerves. We did address some of the issues presented when we went last night, just through questions we asked, etc. Plus they are not complaining about the site we've booked.
Mainly the only reason I've been on the boards is we are getting married near where we live now. Before us moving in together I was at home in a different state. So I was clueless on some of local venues when we started planning. |
