W calls in The Wedding Fixer for brand-new series

Friday 5 April 2019 Multi-award-winning network UKTV has commissioned a brand-new series, The Wedding Fixer (6x60), for its premium entertainment channel, W.

The UKTV Original series is produced by Little Gem and follows one of the most highly respected wedding planners in the world, Sarah Haywood, as she battles to get couples weddings back on track amidst wedding day turmoil. Whether theyve blown the budget bridezilla style, or the wedding dress company has suddenly gone bust, no-nonsense Sarah never knowingly holds back when it comes to telling everyone how things are meant to be done! Sarah will be there every step of the way to make their special day one to remember, for all the right reasons.

Along the way, Sarah will be pulling out her little black book full of experts and know how, as well as using her laser like focus and direct approach to resolve each couples dilemma. Sarahs multi-million-pound luxury wedding planning business has covered weddings great and small, from the no-expense-spared events for her celebrity clients, through to the more intimate set ups, making her uniquely equipped to tackle whatever the couples send her way.

The Wedding Fixer is commissioned for UKTV by Kirsty Hanson, commissioning editor, with Hilary Rosen, head of factual and factual entertainment. It was ordered by Richard Watsham, director of commissioning, and Steve North, genre general manager for comedy and entertainment. The series is executive produced by Kurt Seywald and Ben Gale for Little Gem, Hanson for UKTV, and will be distributed by all3media international.

Kirsty Hanson said:

We are incredibly excited to be working with the combination of Little Gem and Sarah Haywood who is not only a stand-out big, feisty character, but has unrivalled expertise when it comes to all things wedding!
