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?
