Cozy up with your love and say “I do” to an all-new original drama The Wedding Planners, available on Citytv and Citytv NOW. Produced by Brain Power Studio in association with Citytv, the romantic scripted series follows the Clarkson siblings as they plan dream weddings for new couples-to-be, but not without their own behind-the-scenes family drama, as they work through their own complicated relationships. Citytv ties the knot on Friday, March 27 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, followed by six one-hour weekly episodes.
“The Wedding Planners perfectly complements our Fall in Love Fridays schedule with feel-good wedding stories and heartfelt performances that Citytv viewers have come to love and expect,” said Nataline Rodrigues, Director of Original Programming, Citytv. “The series marries all of the best that romcom movies have to offer with the fun entertainment of relationship dramas, all set in the stunning yet stressful world of weddings.”
In the two-hour premiere event, The Wedding Planners opens as the siblings face the loss of their mother and wedding-planner extraordinaire Marguerite (played by Michelle Nolden). They quickly pick up the pieces and discover that before passing away, Marguerite had planned for many years of weddings for her children to fulfill. For better or for worse, the siblings reconnect and commit themselves to the family business. With new hope and inspiration, they work to tackle one wedding at time, no matter how challenging the couple or budget, with a goal to honour their mother’s legacy.
Featuring an all-Canadian ensemble cast, the romantic drama follows the ups-and-downs of the Clarkson siblings: Paige (Kimberly Sue-Murray), the young mom balancing work and family, pressured to be perfect under not-so-perfect circumstances; James (Michael Seater), the New York City fashion designer with a troubled past; and Hannah (Madeline Leon), the peacekeeper with a kind heart and adventurous spirit who is also looking for love.
“We are thrilled to be adding to the success of Fall in Love Fridays with this fresh, modern romantic series,” said Beth Stevenson, Executive Producer and Founder of Brain Power Studio. “The combination of these sassy siblings and wedding drama, jam packs each episode with great entertainment value.”
Viewers can watch The Wedding Planners on Citytv.com next-day post-broadcast.
