THE GAL PAL YOU NEVER KNEW YOU NEEDED

\\xa0

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\\u2019t being fulfilled yet. That\\u2019s 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.

\\xa0

\\u201cIt is a real, genuine connection.\\u201d
