Directed with finesse by Nicole Dussault (L’amour est dans le pré), the talk show promises to seduce viewers with authentic, touching conversations.
“I’m overjoyed to host this new talk show! Through fun, emotional conversations, we’ll all get an up-close and personal look into the highly charged emotional memories evoked when my guests start reminiscing about their weddings. And with the marrying season on pause, it’s fun to dive back into these unforgettable events, live vicariously through times past, all while keeping it light and bonding with my guests!”, says host Julie Ringuette.
Canadian music plays an important role in Elle a dit oui. In each episode, an artist performs a meaningful piece to revive the memories and emotions of the big day. Bobby Bazini, Marc Dupré, 2Frères, Claude Cobra (Bleu Jeans Bleu), Rita Baga, Claudia Bouvette and others will deliver warm, intimate performances that are sure to transport both our guests and audiences alike!
