Author, speaker, and founder of Bridesmaid for Hire, the world’s first professional bridesmaid company.
I write funny, honest stories about relationships, work, weddings, and the awkward parts of real life.
I’m Jen Glantz
hey there
How it all started
It started with a Craigslist ad. In 2014, after being a bridesmaid more times than I could count, I posted an ad offering to show up for strangers on their wedding day.
It went viral — and became Bridesmaid for Hire, the world’s first professional bridesmaid company.
Since then, I’ve turned that one ridiculous idea into a career filled with weddings, books, speaking, media appearances, and more stories about relationships, friendship, work, and real life than I ever expected to collect.
And somehow, I’m still the person who says yes to the weird idea, asks the awkward question, and turns what happens next into a story.
