When you think of unique jobs, it isn't always at a wedding. However, for Jen Glantz, it's her business to be a professional bridesmaid and she's gone viral on TikTok with her successful venture.
Yes, you read that right! She's a professional stand-in at weddings, but she does so much more than just being in the ceremony and taking photos with the bride's squad.
Glantz provides a service that can take up to a year's worth of work as the future Mrs.'s right-hand woman from helping to find dresses, being a self-proclaimed therapist and even wiping some tears before walking down the aisle.
@bridesmaidforhire Here’s the story of how I started #bridesmaidforhire #oddjob #nowhiring #careertiktok
It's like 27 Dresses, only she gets paid to do it...For the last eight years!
After being a bridesmaid from one wedding to the next, she realized she was practically embodying what it meant to be a part of her friend's special nights.
After a lightbulb moment and a shot in the dark, she put an ad on Craigslist in 2014 to see if it would get any hits. To her surprise, she's received about 300 people wanting to hire her!
Her very first wedding was in Maple Grove, MN, and from there, she's been to hundreds of events. Sometimes, the husband doesn't even know about it.
After a booming business, she's written a book, started a podcast, gotten employees to do the job with her and has coined herself the "World's First Bridesmaid For Hire."
