EPISODE 14 SHOW NOTES
HIRING A BRIDESMAID
THE GAL PAL YOU NEVER KNEW YOU NEEDED
After standing beside so many brides throughout their wedding planning process over the past couple of years, Jen Glantz witnessed firsthand the stress that brides, and bridesmaids, experience and decided that there was a need in the wedding industry that wasn’t being fulfilled yet. That’s why she decided to write the Craigslist ad offering her services as a professional bridesmaid. After receiving an overwhelming response, she decided to turn it into an actual business in 2014, Bridesmaid for Hire, and wrote about the real-life adventures she found herself front and center at in the new book, Always a Bridesmaid (For Hire), available now.
How Jen got started as a professional bridesmaid?
Does she actually walk down the aisle as a bridesmaid?
Does she keep in contact with the brides after the wedding?
What are the services she offers?
The difference between her and a wedding planner?

Quotes:
“I definitely walk down the aisle as a bridesmaid. It’s called “Bridesmaid For Hire” so people do hire me to be their bridesmaid, to put on the dress and walk down the aisle.”
“I am not a wedding planner in disguise. I am the people person in the wedding industry. I’m there to work with people and help them get through a very stressful day while taking on the role of their bridesmaid.”
“It is a real, genuine connection.”
“A lot of the reason people hire me is to put out fires or because they know they need support. A lot of my job is managing people.”
“I’m not the one you are hiring to set up your wedding and make your flowers look pretty. I’m the one you are hiring for real, honest advice with no strings attached.”
“Wedding nerves make people feel lots of different things and sometimes they may make them question the person they are marrying.”
“I wear the dress, I walk down the aisle, and give speeches.”
