For days, details surrounding the wedding between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce remained hidden behind a veil of mystery. But now that the lovers’ matrimony has been officially confirmed by their camp, guests are opening up about the event.
Guests, including musicians, directors and more, have started to share their impressions of the nuptials on social media. Two people who were at the star-studded bash exclusively shared with NBC News details on how the extraordinary July 3 night at New York’s Madison Square Garden unfolded — and it certainly sounds as fantastical as many had predicted.
The entire wedding, the guests said, was a “pinch me moment.”
So far, not much about the ceremony has been publicly revealed by the couple themselves. The pair’s representatives said in a statement sent to NBC News that the nuptials were officiated by friend and comedian Adam Sandler. The pair also opted against a traditional wedding party, the statement said. Instead, the musician’s brother Austin Swift served as the “Man of Honor,” while Kelce’s sibling Jason Kelce served as best man.
According to the two who spoke to NBC News, guests first entered the venue and walked through a tunnel that featured photos of Swift and Kelce throughout the years, from childhood through their relationship together. Then, guests stepped into what was the couples’ “Secret Garden, the two people both said.
The ceremony itself, the two guests added, was particularly moving. According to the statement from the couple’s representative, Swift and Kelce wore looks that were created by fashion house Christian Dior Haute Couture. The two guests mentioned that both the bride and groom wore white.
Swift and Kelce personally wrote their own vows, the two guests said. Swift’s vows featured a bit of her singing. And the exchange between the couple elicited tears from those in the crowd, the two attendees said.
“You would think the bride would be the one crying more, but it was actually Travis that was more emotional,” one of the attendees said.
The magic didn’t stop there. The reception was one to remember, with performances from Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks, the two guests said. While Swift did not perform at the wedding, she did so at the rehearsal dinner the night before with Kelce as the couple sang their favorite rock song together, the two attendees added.
The two guests also shared other details, raving about the food that was served that night, which was from the couple’s favorite New York City restaurants. One standout aspect of the wedding was the games that attendees were invited to play, the two guests said. Through the games, people could win tickets to be submitted into a raffle. The two people explained that raffle items — which included multiple designer bags — also featured a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle, the storied car that the couple rode together on their first date. It’s unclear who ended up winning the prizes.
Famous attendees — which included Tom Hanks and Jennifer Lopez, according to the two guests — have begun to share snippets from the night to remember as well. Singer Fergie, hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, actress-singer Selena Gomez and others have shared their “Tayvis” wedding day outfits.
Director Joseph Kahn, who socialized with fellow director Steven Spielberg and actress Kate Capshaw, said he had a “wonderful time.”
“What I will say about the wedding was it was so much funnier and emotional than expected, and as big as it was, it also felt very intimate,” Kahn wrote in an Instagram post. “Wishing your beautiful family and future family endless happiness!”
In a July 4 post on X, country star Kelsea Ballerini described the event as “the most beautiful wedding,” adding that she is “still crying and dancing.”
Sportscaster Rich Eisen, who attended with his wife and fellow sportscaster Suzy Shuster, had high praise for the wedding as well.
“Storybook doesn’t do the expression of love we witnessed justice,” Eisen wrote in an Instagram post.
And actress Niecy Nash, who went to the nuptials with her wife, musician Jessica Betts, had one word to sum up the event of the year.
“Wowwwwwww‼️ is the best way to describe it,” Nash wrote on social media. “From beginning to end no detail was spared! Congrats!”
