Polite way of telling a vendor that dont need their services

I am interviewing different vendors and I just want to know once you decided on a vendor how you told the other ones you were not interested. All the vendors are super nice so I feel bad telling them I found someone else but obviously I cant have 3 photographers at my wedding lol

When we told the hall we would not be going with them, I basically said we decided to go on in a different direction. I didn't tell any of the photographers we saw that we were not going to use them. I didn't even think about it.

I didn't tell any of the other vendors and none of them asked. I think they all know its a business. Had any of them contacted meer I would have politely told them we went in a different direction.

I told them we went with another company that was 'more on our budget and our vision' and said I would recommend them To others (true)

I'm getting annoyed with vendors all together. We specifically told our reception hall we want a band only, not a DJ and for some reason DJ's got my contact info. I got like 8 calls from DJ's already, a call from a jewelry company out in Manorville or something (I live in Long Beach), and 3 different florists. They are sooooo pushy. I'm only engaged a month. I will reach out to the vendors I need when I'm ready. I know that's their jobs and they want to sell their services...but it's all a bit much right now.

I guess I will just go with who I want and not say anything else to the other vendors. I'm so turned off by pushy vendors.

I always feel bad telling people no, so I just have avoided the phone calls. I feel terrible.

It's nice that you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings :). Most people don't care or think about it. I also just told vendors that I actually liked that we loved them but decided to go with someone else, but would definitely be recommending them. They are used to it; it's the nature of the business. They win some and lose some.

I sent them an email... easy and direct. I did call one... only because I really liked the lady (made a connection), she knew how badly I wanted my RH so she totally understood my choice.
