The “
Bashers”
are back! M-Net’s popular local TV series,
The
Wedding Bashers, returns for a second season this year and viewers are in
for a treat as M-Net has also created four Wedding Bashers specials, entitled
The Wedding Bashers Specials… With Love
which will be aired on channel 102 for four consecutive weeks from Sunday, 29
April at 18:00.
The stand-alone specials, which will be
broadcast hot on the heels of the season finale of
Dancing With The Stars SA, will turn the tables of the show’s
original concept as the four intrepid
Wedding
Bashers - each with their own set of skills and expertise – will be doing
all of the wedding planning themselves for four brave couples willing to hand
over the reins to the planning of their big day.
The four specials and season two of the
series return this year with a cast that looks slightly different / Two new “
Bashers” with fresh perspectives will
join the fray as the team continues their search for the perfect South African
wedding.
The
Wedding Bashers Specials… With Love as well as season
two of
The Wedding Bashers welcome
the return of wedding planner extraordinaire Zavion Kotze, and party
professional Denise Zimba. The Season 1 alums will be joined this year by brand
new Bashers Zola Nene - South African celebrity chef and author - and former
Miss South Africa Bernelee Daniell.
Renowned chef and TV personality Zola Nene
will be sharing her thoughts on every culinary experience throughout the
series. Zola is best known for her role as resident chef on Expresso Morning
Show and is no novice to the culinary industry, having worked with
award-winning chefs such as Margot Janse of Le Quartier Francais and Chris
Erasmus of Foliage. In February 2016, Zola released her debut cookbook entitled
“
Simply Delicious”, and most
recently, she joined the local reality competition series The Great South
African Bakeoff as part of the judging panel.
Weighing in on all the fabulous fashion and
sartorial failures at the nuptial celebrations along the way is Bernelee
Daniell. Bernelee will be critiquing the gowns, suits, accessories and overall
style of each wedding party and its guests. Bernelee is the perfect fit for
this role, as an ex-Miss South Africa and current owner of her own corporate
branding and marketing company. Bernelee also spends her time as Patron of
Steps Charity in South Africa.
Zavion Kotze is back to observe and weigh
in on all of the wedding décor seen in the series. Zavion’s meticulous eye will
scrutinise everything from the theme, flower arrangements and to the overall
visual impression at the celebrations. Party professional, bubbly socialite and
VUZU star Denise Zimba will again be tasked to critique the entertainment,
giving her stamp of approval - or not - on the reception festivities and
overall vibe of each wedding that the
Bashers
attend.
Kicking off at 17:00 on Sunday, 3 June, the
four
Wedding Bashers in season two
will make their way to unique South African weddings nationwide where they will
join in on all of the celebrations and then discreetly rate the couples’ Big
Day. Each couple who enters the show stands the chance of winning a fabulous
prize package in the process. Entries are now open on
