Jen Glantz, 34 year old founder of Bridesmaid for Hire, is here to solve all your bridesmaid needs. Glantz and her team cover all the bridesmaid basics including walking down the aisle, giving toasts, grabbing any last minute items you may need, but they also offer a support system for the bride and groom, with the rest of the wedding none the wiser. Glantz says that "Often, clients want to hire us and keep it a secret. That's when we put on a disguise, have a fake name and backstory, and really immerse ourselves in your life."
Her company also offers packages for couples which includes maids of honor and even wedding day coordination. Glantz has worked over 125 weddings and has had more than 100,000 applicants for her team. So what makes her service different from your average wedding planner? Glantz says it's the extra support that her and her team offer. "We work with the client as their support system during the wedding adventure. We're the best friend you always wished you had when you needed that friend the most." Her team has done everything from catching a falling wedding cake to breaking up heated arguments. Their number one goal is tomato sure you're stress free.
So what will this extra support cost you? The starting price for her "Helper Package" is $2,499 and includes six preceding phone sessions, virtual wedding tools, coordination with vendors, day-of timeline, six hours of wedding day support, and email support. Honestly, you're already spending an average 20K anyway so if you need some bridesmaids, why not?
