"Paying Jen Glantz to be your Bridesmaid for Hire will be the best money you spend on your wedding"
“You might be thinking like I did, how sad is it that I have to pay someone to be my bridesmaid? Stop that Negative Nancy train of thought. Paying Jen Glantz to be your Bridesmaid for Hire will be the best money you spend on your wedding. If you are anything like me, a 30-something-year-old professional whose friends and sister are all busy being moms and/or professionals and/or living out of state, you need the help. Truth be told, your wedding party will want to execute the wedding of their dreams, not yours. Your mother or your mother-in-law will drive you insane. If you don’t have a therapist, Jen Glantz will serve that role for you, and happily.

“Jen is not just a Bridesmaid for Hire. No. She’s a friend for life.”
“We were married in Central Park and Jen was there by our side as our bridesmaid. Before that, I would email Jen a ton of questions. I need all the help in the world. We’d never been to NYC before and we were heading there to get married. Jen was our only bridesmaid. I emailed Jen questions, requests, asks, and everything I needed appeared in my inbox!! We loved spending time with Jen. At the end of our wedding day, though we were exhausted from floating around a big city we didn’t know, having just celebrated the biggest day of our lives, it was great to have Jen there to give us some more energy. Talking with her felt like talking to someone we’ve known for a very long time. Jen’s not just a Bridesmaid for hire. No. She’s a friend for life.”
-Rod and Buck, Grooms
“Everyone always asks.. “why do you need to hire a bridesmaid? Don’t you have any friends?”
My response is “yes, I have plenty of friends, I actually have 8 bridesmaids of my own”. Even with 8 of my friends surrounding me, you can’t imagine how extremely helpful it was to have Jen there the day of the wedding. Jen and I worked together from the first month I was engaged until after I walked down the aisle, and she helped me with planning, timelines and lent an ear and opinions whenever there was drama, and there was plenty of it! The morning of the wedding, at the ceremony, she actually walked my dog down the aisle; I’m sure that was a first for her! She helped unzip me when I needed to get out of my dress to pee, she bustled my dress so that I could dance. My mom and I were both so grateful to have her there. My mom exclaimed at one point “Thank God Jen is here!” Even my bridesmaids were grateful to have her there! She was lacing their dresses up & helping with whatever they needed. You don’t hire Jen just to look pretty in your bridal lineup; you hire her because she will make your day stress free!

"Funny and at times touching, this is a thoroughly modern story about love and youth, right down to the open, not necessarily happy-ever-after ending. Quirky and bighearted.”
