When words fail, an AI-vows generator prevails.
Delegating writing duties to artificial intelligence is the ultramodern, if controversial way approximately 25% of today’s sweeties say they’re saving time, stress and money on increasingly costly nuptials.
Rather than spending hours pouring their hearts out onto a piece of paper, or blowing big bucks hiring a human wordsmith, which can cost upwards of $1,000, busy and frugal fiancées are turning to technology.
And Big Apple mom Jen Glantz, founder of Bridesmaid For Hirea virtual wedding planning hub with over 100 AI tools, is there to help — fast-tracking folks into forever in a New York minute, with just a few clicks.
Her virtual bag of clever tricks includes a vows generator — which churned out a sweetly worded script for L.I. native Veronica Ferrerias, 32, in no time at all.
“I’ve been having writer’s block with my vows because I have so many things that I want to say,” the nearly-wed Ferrerias told The Post.
Thanks to a quick web search, ahead of a planned October hitching to fiancé Casey, Ferrerias found solace on Bridesmaid For Hire — where she said the generator prompted her with intelligent questions.
“[The tool] gave me prompts like, ‘When did you know your relationship developed from friendship to love?’ and then asked follow up questions based on my answers,” she recounted.
“The whole process took about five to 10 minutes and the vows were done,” Ferrerias raved. “The AI was so helpful.”
That’s music to the ears of Glantz, a Greenpoint, Brooklyn resident — who once worked upwards of 70 hours per week, slaving over a laptop, drafting wedding speeches and vows for clients.
For her, increased acceptance of AI has been a lucrative dream come true.
“It’s passive income — I’m making money while I’m sleeping, and I’m working 25 hours a week,” Glantz, 37, told The Post.
She’s raked in around $10,000 per month since launching her full arsenal of AI wedding-planning tools in July 2024 — with her robotic ‘I do’ machine the most popular feature on her site, she said.
And the married, mother of one insists her bot beats other systems, such as ChatGPT, at big day prep.
“ChatGPT doesn’t know what it doesn’t know, so it’s not going to ask all the right questions,” said Glantz. “My tools mimic a conversation that I’d have with a client in order to build something that is actually unique and personalized to them.”
Still, while some couples are cool with computers composing their pledges to love, honor and obey, naysayers online call it their “worst nightmare.”
In fact, 49% of soon-to-weds argue that vows should be sacred and heartfelt, not strung together with science, according to Zola’s 2025 wedding trends report.
But Glantz has found plenty of relieved customers who appreciate the high-tech help.
Greg Young, 61, a recent father-of-the-bride, paid around $300 for some of her services, including a hybrid AI and Zoom consultation feature, while scribing a speech for his daughter Devon’s summer wedding.
“As a dad, I figured I had all this time to write something; then, three weeks out, I realized I didn’t have anything,” said Young, a Las Vegas show producer.
The entertainment exec prefers being behind the scenes than in the spotlight — namely when he has to be “emotional” in public.
“I thought, ‘I’m gonna have 140 people looking at me, including my daughter, and I’d better not f—k this up,’” he remembered with a chuckle.
After a desperate Google search for help, he stumbled upon the Bridesmaid For Hire AI tool.
“I put some thoughts into the system, and it quickly generated a speech, then it gave me the option to connect with [Glantz] on Zoom,” Young continued.
“She gave me a few tweaks on structuring the speech, like acknowledging the guests, then transitioning to endearing things about my daughter and lightly roasting my son-in-law,” he shared.
Young wowed the crowd during the 10-minute toast.
“There were no reservations, no inhibitions. I was completely at ease, I engaged the whole audience,” he said of his sneaky shortcut. “At least 15 to 20 people I didn’t know walked up to me and said, ‘That was the best speech I’ve ever heard.’”
Through Bridesmaid For Hire, Glantz offers a menu of free and paid AI applications, with prices up to $97, depending on how much planning, vows or speech-writing help is needed.
Brides and grooms whipping up their “I Do’s” are prompted to tell AI the desired length of their vow — either “short,” 250 words and under three minutes; “medium,” 500 words and less than five minutes; or “long,” coming in at 1,000 words and just under 10 minutes.
Lovebirds can also select the tone of the speech, with style options including “warm,” “enthusiastic,” “funny,” “neutral” and even “cold.”
They’re then prompted with between 15 to 20 questions about their partners, the development of the relationship, memorable moments shared and hopes for the future.
Within minutes, a complimentary version of AI vows is sent to his or her email, along with options either to pay for an even more detailed piece or a one-on-one Zoom consultation with Glantz — for an added dash of human pizzazz.
“I got into this very old, traditional business to help people in very untraditional ways,” self-crowned industry “disruptor” Glantz told The Post, adding that she also offers users a 24-hour, AI-powered hotline, which features her voice and expert tips, as well as a speech-to-text phone line for older folks who have trouble typing.
A wedding professional of more than a decade, Glantz, first jumped into the biz as a for-rent bridesmaid in the mid-2010s.
Starting at approximately $2,500, she hired herself out to bridal parties in need of an extra gal for bachelorette celebrations, showers, and, most notably, the tying of the knot. As a side hustle, the entrepreneur would also write vows and speeches for brides, grooms, their parents, maids of honor or best men.
But Glantz’s constant wedding-hopping — which, at its peak, saw her working as a hired bridesmaid in 60 weddings per year — came to a screeching halt upon welcoming her daughter, Gemma, in March 2023.
Three hours after giving birth, while writing vows for a client from her hospital bed, the “I should create AI wedding tools” lightbulb illuminated in her head.
It was a big business brainchild that came right on time — especially amid the post-pandemic wedding boom.
“I’ve trained my AI based on my work, my process, my voice and personality, using hundreds of hours of phone calls I’ve had with clients, as well as the interviews and podcasts I’ve done over the past 10 years,” said Glantz. She tapped a friend and developer, Stefan Wirth, to help her get the bridal bot rolling in May of 2023.
“[Using AI for wedding vows] may seem crazy, but it’s also very cool and the future of the industry,” the local mogul continued. “You have to get with it.”
And she’s right, experts say.
“Generative AI has the potential to address a lot of pain points and streamline many aspects of the wedding-planning process,” Allison Cullman, vice president of brand marketing a strategy at Zola, previously told The Post.
“It can help couples expedite more manual tasks,” added Cullman, “and help wedding vendors draft detailed schedules.”
And no one even has to know about using Glantz’s service for support — just ask new father-in-law, Young, who kept the speech details entirely to himself.
“It was great,” Young said of his hush-hush hack. “It was my secret weapon.”
