Brand New 20-episode Competition Series

The 20-episode competition series, “My Celebrity Dream Wedding” follows three top wedding planners - Courtney Ajinca, Lance Devereux, and Tori Williams as they pitch extravagant bridal visions and throw celebrity-inspired weddings for engaged couples on a budget. The series also provides DIY tips and hacks to plan a fairytale million-dollar wedding for a fraction of the price. Though the cast is in competition mode, the chemistry, respect for each other's passion, and experience shine bright in every scene. The premiere brought light to the hard word wedding planners and designers have to put into making a couple's special day become a reality.

Throughout “My Celebrity Dream Wedding,” the planners aim to recreate lavish touches and unique extravaganza looks inspired by celebrities’ weddings such as the alligator décor found in the seating at Gabrielle Union’s and Dwyane Wade’s wedding reception, or the all-white florals that lined Priyanka Chopra’s and Nick Jonas’ wedding, and even the floral diamond encrusted prayer bench seen during NeNe Leakes and Gregg Leakes reception and more, with their own twist.

"I don't throw weddings, I throw experiences", says Lady of Luxury Tori Williams who is a co-star of the show. Tori has planned A-List Celeb weddings for TV and Film Producer Will Packer, as well as Atlanta's Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.

Based on the proposed visions for the big day, the brides select their favorite planner as the winner to now lead the production of their wedding, while the others are demoted to assistant status. The planners then collaborate to execute everything from the dream ceremony to the show stopping reception.

VH1’s “My Celebrity Dream Wedding” is produced by eOne’s Tara Long, Madison Merritt, Ben Megargel, Meredith Kisgen, and Amy Callahan, with Diana Morelli and Tolani Holmes serving as executive producers. Jakeem Smith has been tapped as one of the Segment Producers.
