Swipe Right For Simple! Pop-up Bride & Groom

This couple are changing up the wedding industry

When Ruth Carpenter and Kevin Townsend’s love journey started, it wasn’t in the usual fairytale manner. It was with the swipe of a finger on Tinder.

Their wedding was similar – a modern ceremony far different to the extravagant affairs they both had for their first marriages, with the couple sipping Champagne at Ruth’s family bach in Russell after a short but sweet event with just 22 guests.

It was no surprise then when the loved-up Aucklanders announced they’d taken on another unconventional venture, this time in business.

Owners of new luxury popup wedding company Simply Wed, they’ve stepped away from tradition to offer smaller-scale nuptial services, with prices starting at just under $7000!
