Season 2
The Wedding Bashers is a South African reality competition television series created by Gavin Wratten in which couples open their wedding days to critique from a team of celebrity "experts", who rate each wedding according to various criteria.
The dress should be to die for, the food should be world class, the décor divine and the entertainment a blast, but what happens when South Africans of all backgrounds, cultures and religions open up their special days to The Wedding Bashers?
The series turns a microscope onto unique weddings through a celebrity team of "experts" in various fields. Season 2 of the series returns with a cast that looks slightly different: two new "Bashers" with fresh perspectives join the fray as the team continues their search for the perfect South African wedding.
Season 2 welcome the return of wedding planner extraordinaire Zavion Kotze, and party professional Denise Zimba. They are 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.
The four Wedding Bashers in Season 2 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 prize package in the process.
The Wedding Bashers is an M-Net Original Production produced by [sic] Entertainment. Season 2 is produced by Anneke de Ridder and ProVerb is a co-executive producer. The series director is Rudy Anker and the executive producer is Gavin Wratten, who is also the creator of the show.
