Uh…rejected By Vendor?

This happens all the time in larger areas. For example, I was rejected by a floral company because they said my vision for florals wasn't what they were wanting to do that season lmao.

Sometimes I've heard it is a price thing; maybe they have another event on soft hold that would pay more or something.

Also, as a final note, you absolutely would NOT want to work with anyone you aren't vibing with for your wedding day. Your vendors should make you excited and comfortable and you should feel like they are on your side!

Agree that its a blessing as it sounds like you weren't feeling her anyway, and last thing you want is someone rubbing you the wrong way during your stressful time!

I didn't know this was a thing until some girls told me! I was like what?? Lol. But it honestly has nothing to do with you! Vendors may have a particular clientele that they would like to work with. They too get to choose just like you who they would like to work with as well because at the end of the day it's between two parties that have to work together.

Think about it this way, wouldnt you rather have someone who is really excited about your vision and being there for you on your day than someone who just wants to take a job? I'd see it as a blessing to have someone outright tell you they wouldnt be a good fit than to ultimately have a bad experience on your wedding day.

It's just business; I wouldn't take this personally.

Based on the list of celebrities, I wouldn’t take it personally if she prefers working with those type of people.

I think we all forget that wedding vendors are not chain stores that have to serve everyone that comes in their door- not only are we interviewing them for our event, but they are also interviewing us to make sure we are a good fit for them too. Based on the clientele you listed, it sounds as though this vendor works with extremely high budgets and high profile clientele/events. I wouldn’t feel bad at all that she chose not to do your event; I would be appreciative that she was upfront with you from the beginning, rather than take on your event and not be “all in” on it. Now you will be able to choose someone who is a perfect fit for you 😊

If it’s not a good fit, move on. At least they’re being upfront and honest with you. It sounds like you didn’t get good vibes as well,
