Can I be honest with you?
As a day-of wedding coordinator and professional bridesmaid, who has worked 100+ weddings, I've seen it all...sometimes I've seen it all go wrong. But I have a solution for every hiccup and a Band-Aid for every last-minute scratch on the day's overall plan.
I've found photographers when they've gone missing, caught a wedding cake that fell off a table and almost landed on the floor, served as the unofficial DJ when the real DJ didn't show up, and I've pep talked my fair share of bridal party members to lay-off the open bar until after they have walked down the aisle.

let's work together
Let’s Chat
We’ll get our first call on the calendar ASAP after you book your package. That’s when we’ll chat through all your wedding details so far, create a manageable to-do list and start the day-of itinerary. I’ll also share tricks that can save you a lot of $$ when working with your other vendors.
Organize the Chaos
You’ll also get access to a personalized portal for all your wedding info. That’s where you’ll find the notes from our chats, your to-do lists and suggested next steps, decor inventory, vendor info, and so much more. I’m here to keep it all organized and make sure no detail is missed.
Stay Stress-Free
I’m there for you on the wedding day as your go-to professional, ready to handle all the pop-up problems, vendor questions, decor set-up, and people (from your guests to your parents - and everyone in-between), so you can stay headache-free.
How it works
"I was a guest at my own wedding. I also got to EAT at my own wedding, thanks to Jen checking in with me when I wanted more food."
“She is like your friend who also happens to be a wedding pro so you ask her to please please please help out to make sure you and everyone else in your wedding party knows what to do or how to solve the inevitable hiccups that will happen when you have that many people working and partying together.
Then she shows up, and she has all the answers to every question you have. She is that member of the wedding party who is able to run back to your hotel room to get something you forgot while everyone else needs to stay with you because you are doing photos.
She is so sweet, and she will check in with your parents to make sure they are doing well and will chat with them like they are your friend, not just another wedding vendor.
- Anne, Bride
I still cannot believe just how much fun Connor and I had all because we were able to relax and know Jen had everything covered
“From day one speaking on the phone, Jen was so kind and outgoing and really got to the nitty-gritty of all the wedding details. She dotted our I’s and crossed our T’s, and even made sure to cover things I wasn’t even thinking about yet! I felt so comfortable knowing Jen was there on our wedding day because I knew she would handle anything that came up that day – and wow I was right! Looking back to our wedding, I still cannot believe just how much fun Connor and I had all because we were able to relax and know Jen had everything covered. From last-minute rain planning to canceling, but then rescheduling cocktail hour, to setting up lawn games and coordinating with my parents (who I can’t even handle sometimes), Jen really knocked it out the park.”
-Jocelyne, Bride
“Having Jen was, simply put, the greatest thing I "planned for" on our wedding day.”
“Having Jen was, simply put, the greatest thing I "planned for" on our wedding day. She MADE OUR DAY in every way possible. Not only did she think of everything (or take on tasks when she wasn't asked to), she did it in the most positive way possible. She was a total joy to be with. Jen and I had a few (amazing and EASY) chats before the wedding. She completely understood our vision and totally went for it. Jen just GETS IT. She made EVERYTHING she could as easy as possible. Words can express how highly recommended this amazing girl comes from my husband and me! We were so incredibly lucky to have her - you WON'T regret your choice to hire Jen as your wedding coordinator! It truly was the best decision we could have made.
-Jenn, Bride
Our wedding was perfect and stress-free; thanks to Jen. She spoke with me multiple times leading up to the event and was so sweet and helpful with advice.
“As someone who plans events for work, I initially thought I could do all of the wedding planning and day of organizing alone. But I was so wrong! 6 weeks leading up to the big day, I was so overwhelmed. And I am so glad that I found Jen, who came to my Chicago wedding from NYC to handle everything on the day of. She was amazing! Our wedding was perfect and stress-free; thanks to Jen. She spoke with me multiple times leading up to the event and was so sweet and helpful with advice. I had absolutely nothing to worry about the day of because Jen was there coordinating all of the details and managing many vendors. I would definitely recommend Jen and Bridesmaid for Hire for any bride - very worth it!!”
- Emily, Bride
She did a very nice job because the wedding ran seamlessly and on time
“Even in a small wedding like ours (~40 people), we had a number of unresolved questions. Jen helped us iron out our scheduling issues. But on the day of the wedding is when I think Jen's value is most pronounced. In addition to managing day-of-wedding vendors (i.e. coordinating Uber pick up for our pastor), she helped erase our anxieties about things like guests not knowing when to get seated, a groomsman missing his cue, or cake not being brought out on time. She did a very nice job because the wedding ran seamlessly and on time.”
- Abby, Bride
“Jen was AMAZING to work with! Hiring her was absolutely one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding.
"From the start, she made me feel confident which reassured me that all will run smoothly on our Big Day. For our wedding, we had a lot of DIY projects that Jen handled. It was wonderful to be able to spend time with our families before our ceremony and know that Jen was making sure every detail was in place. We had face-to-face meetings which included a site visit and had several conversations via email, phone, and text. JEN WAS REALLY ON TOP OF IT! The best part was that she always made me feel like I was her main priority. Her passion for weddings combined with her organization and attention to detail make her worth far more than the rates she charges. On the day of the wedding, she greeted me with beautiful flowers, was energetic, and always asked if I needed anything.”

"Our wedding was the most beautiful day of our lives and Jen's help was a major contributing factor.
She was terrific. I can't recommend her enough".
“In May of 2016, we began planning our wedding for October 2016. It was going to be a small affair with no wedding party, but despite its size, we soon found ourselves overwhelmed. Enter Jen Glantz and Bridesmaid for Hire. We found Jen as the result of a google search, and thank God we did. In the few meetings we had leading up to the wedding, she was personable and organized. She had great questions for us to ask our vendors, including the venue - she had great information about what we could expect on our wedding day and she put us at ease immediately, during what was otherwise a time filled with anxiety (the good kind of anxiety, but anxiety, nonetheless). Our wedding was the most beautiful day of our lives and Jen's help was a major contributing factor.
She was terrific. I can't recommend her enough.”
- Gary, Groom
Like all weddings, there are some day-of challenges, Jen was there every step of the way!
“When I started planning my wedding over a year ago, I know I needed someone to help out the day of. I looked into a few different people and no one seemed like a good fit for my style. Luckily, I came across a podcast that had on Jen Glantz and her company "Bridesmaid For Hire". I knew instantly that I wanted her alongside me during my big day. We exchanged emails and phone calls before the wedding and Jen was very professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly caring about all my details no matter how big or small. She always responded right away to all my questions. Like all weddings, there are some day-of challenges, Jen was there every step of the way! My husband and I had the most magical and stress-free wedding.”
- Erica, Bride
She's detail-oriented, fun, kind, observant and not afraid to go the extra mile.
"From start to finish, it was incredible to work with Jen! She knew what I wanted before I did, and she made our wedding 100% stress-free. Caught up in all of the festivities, I forgot a dress that I wanted to change into at our reception in our apartment, and Jen ran right out to get it for me – no questions asked! She's detail-oriented, fun, kind, observant and not afraid to go the extra mile. (Plus she can tie up a French bustle like a pro in 3 minutes flat!) She was right there for me even when the MOH wasn't and helped to fill in a lot of the gaps. Hiring Jen was the best $$ we spent on the wedding! We LOVE her!"
