Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce's wedding destination confirmed; plans include 2,000-guest celebration
New York, June 26
Pop star Taylor Swift and NFL player Travis Kelce are reportedly planning a two-part wedding celebration at New York's Madison Square Garden, according to reports.
As per Page Six, the couple is expected to host an intimate gathering on July 2 with around 100 close family members and friends. A much bigger celebration is reportedly planned for the following day, with between 1,000 and 2,000 guests expected to attend. The New York Times was the first to report the latest details.
Neither Swift nor Kelce has confirmed the reports. Representatives for the couple have also not responded to media requests for comment.
Earlier this year, Page Six had reported that the couple planned to get married over the July 3 weekend. More recently, the publication claimed that Madison Square Garden had been chosen as the wedding venue, saying the couple wanted privacy for the event.
According to the report, guests were invited over phone calls instead of traditional invitations to reduce the chances of details being leaked. It also claimed that everyone involved has been asked to keep the plans private.
Page Six further reported that some Kansas City Chiefs players have already booked rooms at the Marriott Marquis in Midtown, New York, around the reported wedding dates.
Reports also claim that a permit application filed by Winick Productions requested street closures around Madison Square Garden, along with a public tent outside the venue.
Swift and Kelce have been together since the summer of 2023 and reportedly got engaged in August.

Why does everything have to be a spectacle? I get that they're celebrities but 2,000 guests and street closures seems excessive. There are real issues in the world - poverty, climate change - and this is what makes headlines? At least they're keeping details private, that's respectable.
From a Western perspective, this is pretty standard celebrity wedding planning. The two-part celebration reminds me of how some Indian families do a smaller ceremony followed by a grand reception. The security measures with phone invites and privacy requests show they're serious about keeping it personal despite the massive guest list.
As someone who follows both American and Indian celebrity culture, this is fascinating! The Marriott Marquess booking for Chiefs players is like when Indian cricketers block entire hotel wings for weddings. But honestly, calling 2,000 guests 'intimate' is hilarious - in India, that's a small political rally! 😂
I'm from the US and while I appreciate the privacy measures, the street closures and tent outside MSG seems like overkill. But hey, it's their money! What I find interesting is how Indian media is covering this - shows how global Taylor Swift's appeal has become. Hope they have a wonderful celebration, yaar! 🎉
