The Knot vendors in 25 categories across US cities
A The Knot scraper collects the vendor side of theknot.com, the US wedding planning site run by The Knot Worldwide, the company formed in 2018 when XO Group merged with WeddingWire. What is The Knot? For couples it is a planner with a checklist, invitations, a registry and a wedding website. For wedding businesses it is The Knot vendor marketplace, where venues and pros in 25 categories keep storefronts, from Reception Venues, Wedding Photographers and Videographers to Florists, Caterers, DJs, Wedding Bands, Bridal Salons, Beauty, Officiants and Transportation. In late September 2026 it published about 176,000 vendor storefronts, and the Chicago lists alone held 260 reception venues and 133 florists.
The Knot listings are built city by city. Each category has a page per city or wedding market, such as /marketplace/wedding-reception-venues-chicago-il, with a live result counter, 30 cards a page and filters for starting price or price range, guest capacity, distance, award winners and deals. Some pages cover a market rather than a town, such as Long Island or the Twin Cities, state hubs link the cities, and style pages such as /affordable, /barn or /documentary slice a city further.
Each card opens a storefront whose address ends in a numeric vendor ID after the name, city and state. Vendors write most of it: photos, the About text, packages, services and availability. The Knot adds the star rating, the review count, award badges and an AI-generated review summary.
