My now-fiancé and I met years ago on Tinder. It’s so common nowadays that an estimated 30% of married couples met on a dating app. And hey, sometimes it just works. Now that we’ve moved on to planning our wedding, we’re taking a similar approach through The Knot Vendor Marketplace. It’s not exactly like Tinder; There’s no swiping left or right, but they do have a huge variety of wedding vendors and it’s easy to sort through to find exactly what you’re looking for.👇

25 Categories of Vendors

So much goes into planning a wedding, it’s actually just like a dating app. You have to think of exactly what you’re looking for—but for photographers, cake, and venues instead of height, religion, and political views. Unlike a dating app, with The Knot Vendor Marketplace, you don’t have to swipe through mid options until your thumbs get sore. Just select the category that you’re looking for. They have 25 comprehensive options from florists, makeup artists, jewelers, and more! Each category has its own defining filters: find wedding bands with specific instruments, photographers with a specific style, or hairstylists that have experience with your specific hair type.

Trusted Reviews from Real Couples

Imagine how much heartache could be saved if you could add reviews to other’s dating app profiles. Whether you want to warn everyone about your toxic ex or give a glowing recommendation to a guy you grabbed drinks with but just didn’t feel a spark, getting an opinion from others really helps with big decisions. The Knot Vendor Marketplace has more than 5 million reviews from real couples that used the vendors listed. Most of them post photo proof too, if you have trust issues. Figure out exactly what you want by selecting from the intuitive filters and see what others have to say from their personal experience!
