How one woman turned being a bridesmaid into her full-time profession By KCAL KCBS Staff LOS ANGELES (KCAL, KCBS) — You know the saying, always the bridesmaid, never the bride. However, one woman turned that stigma into a business. In “the Wedding Ringer,” Kevin Hart plays a best man for hire for a groom played by Josh Gad. Hilarity ensues. However, reality is no laughing matter to Jen Glantz, CEO of Bridesmaid for Hire. Glantz is a professional bridesmaid who can hire your whole wedding party. She launched her business in 2014. “All of my friends in my early twenties got engaged and I was always the bridesmaid,” Glantz told CBS2 News This Morning’s Suzanne Marques. “And that is when I started to realize that there is nobody in the $72 billion wedding industry whose job it is to be there for the people getting married.”
