I did a Gig some 20+ years ago for one of the owners of Gigmasters, which was bought out by the Knot and rebranded as "The Bash" for $85 million! The owners were probably only a couple years out of college barely pushing 30 and are probably now set for life - good business exit strategy! They were very nice and tipped well too :)

I signed up for Pearl by David’s Bridal But they’re about to go bankrupt 😢

The Knot & The WeddingWire are like these home warranty companies They don't deliver on their word!
Comment from : @LeVelleSalter

Comment from : @allandenola5968

Bro, you can’t get a free account anymore My girlfriend is a Wedding Officiant and they told her she can’t have an account until she pays for 12 months first They are only getting worse I stopped doing business with them years ago They are disgusting and criminal Send you fake leads and take your money So glad you did this!
Comment from : @gqinvites

Stay away from Wedding Wire and the Knot! I had an account with them when they first started Cost about $65 a month I dropped them because of poor results Years passed They called me to see if I wanted to rejoin They had combined with the Knot and could offer better opportunities Their cost in 2022over $800 a month! I said no I scares me a bit when I see that they have bought "The Bash" I have profiles on "The Bash" and "Gig Salad" Luckily, I have been keeping up on my SEO and I am usually 4th listing on the first page of a search Love your Channel!

I run ads on both sites It is so funny because when I don't receive leads, I call my rep and complain Afterward, I will receive one or two leads I lose money on these two sites I think I booked maybe 6 weddings for the entire year

Yo nick I wish you did this video last year lol Lesson learned
Comment from : @johnnycarter9873

WW and The Knot def change each year for ROI Past 12 months, we've cleared nearly $20K in business (4x ROI) Zola and Pearl leads have been horrible so far - haven't booked ANYTHING FROM THEM as of yet Sadly, still sticking with WW and The Knot As a multi-op, it's still worth it to advertise for us We rerun numbers end of each year before renewal Single ops, just don't waste your advertising on them You can't compete with the bigger companies
Comment from : @RobAlberti

Just finished my turn with them Not Worth The Fortune It Costs Major money loser, and they tried several times to keep me paying for nothing Now I’m going to start building this business organically Booked one wedding in the year I was a member So glad to be free of it!!
Comment from : @smoothsaxdj

I had 3 friends all dj company small business owners All advertising with wedding wire paying good money, hardly any leads, some seemed to be fake or computer generated and only when they called to cancel after the 1 year contract was up did they all see a huge bump I leads come through like magic They tune and control the algorithms to drive leads to whomever they want Huge waste of money
Comment from : @olivervasilopoulos5939

This is my third year as a DJ and I advertise on The Knot / wedding wire I get majority of my business from them, yes I do get ghosted a lot as well But this has really helped me grow! I never heard of the other two platforms until now! I’m going to check them out and see what happens to my sales
Comment from : @BMLiveDJService

Bro this is all true and frustrating But Zola literally charges you per lead! It's insane! Also, what a comprehensive assessment of how bad they are! One thing that people should know is that they all send false leads to keep you hooked If we could prove that, maybe we could recoup some funds from them by forcing them to lower their monthly prices
Comment from : @eandespecialevents9774

The year I stopped advertising on Wedding Wire and went back to a free listing is the year that my bride's Choice Awards suddenly stopped being awarded How ironic
Comment from : @eriepadj

Nick, this is the best video you've ever made lol I've been telling brides for years that the reason I don't have an award is because I DON'T HAVE TO PAY SOMEONE TO GET HIRED! They want to charge the new vendor MORE than someone who has been with them for awhile Every time they call me, I tell them that if they give me the same rate as my competitor, I might give it a try They promise to call back and NEVER DO lmao

Comment from : @priyonjoni

Hey Nick , sorry I'm a day late to this but I don't mind someone out there for the money is they are also trying to make me money !
Comment from : @Mojo7444

Almost everyone spending money with The Knot / Weddingwire would be better served by spending that money on Google Ads
Comment from : @danceshoutyyc

I just use their free site and could care less if they cancel me My couples are mostly all word of mouth and I'm booking two years out with 160 weddings a year But I've also been in business for over 25 years so It's like you said being a good DJ and responding to your couples asap and not days later is the best thing you can do Also don't sell what you can't produce! LOL they'll call me promising more weddings and I respond I can't take anymore I'm booked out, they hang upThey want startups who are hard up for business and they play on that Great Vid Nick
Comment from : @masterpdj2623

Best marketing is word of mouth and recommendations fk those websites
Comment from : @Joaquin77

WW or TK don't appear on Google here in Melbourne, Australia (Downunder)Tell me more about the FarmLOL
Comment from : @djpaulthompson

Thanks for sharing this information I canceled my subscription and i’m getting bombarded with phone calls between all three The Trinopoly is over for me and my business
Comment from : @TheRealDjMikeStone

I cancelled Wedding Wire, The Knot & Wedding Pro WHY ? bad leads, clients are stupid and customer service are bunch of assholes!
Comment from : @djfredgarde702

The code was also built with "no follow" commands where it told SEO to benefit wedding wire, but not the site that posted their code They also do this to all of your listings too

Duopoly
Comment from : @altimate19

Wish this video came out earlier , I just joined welding wire pro , the sales consultant are like fucking sharks , what they didn't tell me was to have a pro account you needed to have 5 review's Why am I paying to get my samll businesses out there if you're going to require me to get 5 reviews thumbtack only requires 2 at minimum Any recommendations for closing my account with wedding wire once my 12 months are over
Comment from : @freddieriojas6818

👎🏽 the WW and The Knot Gonna start my own! I love how you keep it 💯
Comment from : @FSPEntertainment

Don’t forget that they increase your contract amount year after year while you don’t get anything extra, but the kicker is they don’t tell you they’re doing it You just see an increased charge after 12 months
Comment from : @big_jakehtx

My contract with WW & The Knot last year was $6k I did not get $6k back, and they refused to let me cancel when my contract was up I put it in writing three times, and they ran me around I had to have my lawyer send them a letter with a lawsuit for harassment before they finally cancelled
Comment from : @StevieRayEntertainme

I was actually scheduled to have a call with one of their reps this week, I'm definitely having second thoughts about going through with it now Maybe investing in SEO would just be a better decision and build my google reviews
Comment from : @matthew-mrdj

They have constantly hounded me for the last year I switched to Facebook adds and told them to kick rocks
Comment from : @DJ_Timmay

I’m scared for your safety, Nick The last guy that tried to expose The Knot hasn’t been heard from since
Comment from : @kilo-watt

Man I stopped using both of them, do y'all get scammers because I was?
Comment from : @SoundRyteMobileDJs

Nick I hear you… I signed that 12 months…brbrBut the question will YOU get a promotion deal from the new players in town?!?! 😅
Comment from : @DJDjayVarela

You are one brace MFbut I love it🤣🤣👏🏿
Comment from : @bigjentertainment876

I was a victim of this sales pitch It was even nastier than Nick is making it I had to take a shower after dealing with them
Comment from : @RichardTabar

Hearing you describe them joining forces sounded like the greatest villain twist of all time, actually scared me 😂
Comment from : @LilLilH

After many years of advertising with them, I finally called it quits Yeah I got some weddings from it, but was tired of the never ending price increases just because they could
Comment from : @frankraffa6

they are yelp on ACID Sad thing (as you mentioned) is that their main source of power comes from wedding vendors posting their own ww/knot page links on their own website (the backlink) which boosts their SEO and allows the knot/WW to rank at the top of google searches This starts the domino effect of brides finding their site because of google searches This is why when you search wedding DJ any city , the knot/ww ranks first no matter what
