Need A Bridesmaid? You Can Now Hire One For Your Wedding Through The First-Ever “Bridesmaids For Hire” Company

Jen Glantz is the founder of Bridesmaids For Hire– the world’s first ever professional bridesmaid company.
You might be wondering, what are professional bridesmaids? Well, according to the company’s website, they are basically a support system for brides before and on their wedding day.
“Yes, we can wear the bridesmaid dress, walk down the aisle, and give a toast. Yes, we can keep this a secret and pretend to know you from a time in your life,” the website states.
And for all of your other follow-up inquiries, Jen has created a TikTok account where she shares more about her business and answers some of the most frequently asked questions.
One of the most popular is, why would someone ever want a bridesmaid for hire?
“Not everyone needs a wedding party, and not everyone wants bridesmaids. However, there are people out there that want a support system for whatever reason,” Jen began in one video.
“Maybe it is because their family is so dramatic, they are going to stress the bride out, and the bride needs that go-to person to help them,” Jen continued.
“Or maybe it’s just because they are feeling a lot of nerves and emotions and want a best friend to be by their side.”

And unfortunately, not everyone has a best friend. So, they turn to Jen.
“One in six people do not have any friends, and that is totally cool,” she explained.
Moreover, some people choose to hire Jen even if they do have friends simply because those friends would not make good bridesmaids.
“They would add to the drama, add to the stress, or just would not be there for them in the way the bride needs,” Jen said.
So, people are not just using Jen’s company for the appearance of having a filled bridal party.
They are more so hoping to have a helpful professional who can be a shoulder to lean on throughout the day.
Because let’s face it, weddings can be emotionally exhausting no matter how excited you are to tie the knot.
Nonetheless, the gig does not come without its downsides. Jen recently shared how the most challenging part of her business is saying goodbye to all of the brides she has met.
“Seventy-five percent of the time, when people hire me to be their bridesmaid, it is a complete secret, and we don’t talk ever again after the wedding ends. And that part never gets easier,” Jen shared.
This happens so often because some brides do not want their guests, or even husbands, to become suspicious about the hire.
In fact, Jen sometimes takes on a fake name and backstory while working at weddings in order to make sure she and the bride’s friendship make sense.
In these cases, all possibilities for a real-life friendship are thrown out the window.
But, the job is not just “goodbyes.” Jen shared that she did hit it off with the first bride she ever serviced back in 2014, and they have remained friends over the years. So, perhaps it all depends on the situation and how well the two connect.
Regardless, though, Jen’s company has revolutionized the concept of having bridesmaids and is making waves throughout the bridal industry.
