Summary

This practical companion to The Knot Complete Guide to Weddings in the Real World acts as a stand-alone guide to the nuts and bolts of planning a wedding. The Knot Ultimate Wedding Planner is where the bride and groom can record wedding ideas, create budget guidelines, check items off their to-do list, generate the guest list, store contact information for their wedding vendors, and get tips and advice on the best way to plan their big day.

Chapter by chapter, the planner walks the bridal couple through each major step: for example, choosing the reception site, picking a photographer, and deciding on a menu. Author Carley Roney and the editors of The Knot Web site have talked with both wedding professionals and hundreds of thousands of brides and grooms, and have a good idea of the necessary ingredients for a successful wedding. Most helpful and thorough are each chapter's "Questions to Ask" checklists and the "Knot Knowledge" tips, which include money-saving ideas. The book also contains a gift log, a budget tracker, and a wedding-day phone contacts sheet.

Roney offers loads of helpful advice, such as recommending that the bride and groom declare "wedding free zones" where the couple makes time for activities together that have nothing to do with planning the wedding. Each chapter also includes her down-to-earth answers to commonly asked questions, such as whether it's appropriate for a relative to host a shower or if the wedding couple should pay for guests' travel expenses. With all of its tips, advice, and organizers, The Knot Ultimate Wedding Planner may just be, next to a wedding coordinator, the best way for modern couples to ensure their wedding is a smoothly run, stress-free affair. --Kris Law

Average wedding planner

Rating: Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3

it's a nice planner if you just need something smaller that will fit in your purse. It's not the type that has a binder attached with pockets or folders to store paperwork, which would have been more helpful. I also don't like the stories that go along with each section about other people's wedding. Half of the stories I can't even relate to so they don't help. The time line as far as what you should be getting done when is very helpful! As well as the pages that allow you to write all your contact information for vendors.

goes with the web site information the knot is great for organizing the plan and all that goes with the wedding

Item is ok

Rating: Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3

This item is pretty good but also had a lot of information and sections that I won't even be using. It's good for someone planning an expensive and lavish wedding but not the best for someone planninga simple and less expensive wedding. It has good advice but would be better as a spiral bound book or if it had pockets.

Buyers Beware! Theknot.com has No Communications and NO Customer Service

Rating: Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1

Theknot.com may have useful tools for our weddings, but buyers beware! I bought sale items from them that they never shipped, and never told me that they were canceled!

I had to rush to find disposable cameras with less than 20 days left before my wedding. I never got an updated invoice from them, and when I asked, they sent me a dollar amount in my email that wasn't the same as what they charged me - and still no invoice! The response by customer service was "oh yeah, we canceled the item, and we don't send a notice. thanks!"

TheKnot.com is the only vendor I've worked with that actually stressed me out, and for what they are supposed to be, I'm terribly disappointed. I copy/pasted their checklist into a word document, and my Budget Planner is Excel. If they can't get my invoice correct, why would I want them to work out my budget???

This has great advice and tips on what to do, what's needed, how to budget and so on. I really liked it but it didn't have a place to put all my contracts and paperwork for each vendor. I would have maybe liked it better if it was in worksheet form in a binder.
