The first photos of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding have dropped from their big day held inside Madison Square Garden in the heart of New York City.
After keeping every detail of their July 3 ceremony under wraps, several guests have now shared behind-the-scenes moments from inside the venue, revealing elegant décor and offering fresh insight into what attendees have described as one of the most unforgettable weddings they've ever experienced.
Among the first to post was personal trainer Rob Jordan's wife, Joann Jordan, who shared two photographs from inside the iconic New York venue.

At the top of the staircase, Madison Square Garden staff dressed in black could be seen welcoming guests into what appeared to be the ceremony entrance.
A second photograph captured the couple posing on another grand staircase beneath a sparkling silver chandelier, with oversized wooden doors providing an elegant backdrop.

"An unforgettable evening in New York celebrating the beginning of a beautiful new chapter for our dear friends, Travis and Taylor," she wrote alongside the images.
"Love was in the air, the city was magical, and every detail was simply unforgettable!"

"The secret garden was an unbelievable celebration and experience!" he wrote. "So happy for my brother and sister Trav & Tay Tay. Congratulations once again! Yesterday was perfect."
Meanwhile, music video director Joseph Kahn shared a selfie with his wife, Lotte, standing in front of the venue's blush-pink draped backdrop, revealing more of the romantic décor.

"I had a wonderful time at Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce's wedding," he wrote. "I got to meet Steven Spielberg and the lovely Kate Capshaw and talk filmmaking with the GOAT."
"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."

Taylor and Travis, both 36, exchanged vows in front of around 1,000 family members and famous friends during a lavish ceremony that transformed the legendary sports arena into an intimate wedding venue.
Following the ceremony, Madison Square Garden confirmed the newlyweds' marriage by illuminating its exterior digital screens with the message: "JUST&T MARRIED!", while also referencing Taylor's iconic hit "Love Story" on social media.

MSG was abuzz with activity on Monday as a sea of trucks and equipment filed into the stadium, guided by a bevy of people. The loading dock appeared to be filled with crews working to ready the place for a major event. The new photos have surfaced amid reports that Taylor and Travis are set to walk down the aisle on the July 4th weekend in front of 1,000 of their nearest and dearest.
The "Love Story" singer rented the venue for a multi-day event, with a smaller ceremony planned for July 2 in front of 100 guests and a larger celebration the following day.

The permit was filed by event planning company Winick Productions for July 2-4. Additionally, there are no scheduled events at MSG between June 29 and July 6.
Travis's close friend and Tight End University co-founder, George Kittle, shared with Entertainment Tonight that he had no idea about the location of the wedding despite being on the invite list. "I actually asked Travis last night, and he laughed at me, so," George said. "I'm half expecting there to just be a jumbo jet on a runway and they put us on a plane somewhere."

They also speculated that it could be held at the nearby Ocean House resort, but this rumor was quickly shut down by the venue's wedding planner, Tara Guérard, on social media.
"I am the wedding planner for June 13th at the Ocean House in Rhode Island! Sorry to let you all know, Taylor is not my bride this weekend! Boo! Kindest, @taraguerard," she wrote.

Her NFL star fiancé shared on his New Heights podcast that he loved to "vibe around the city" and soak in the atmosphere whenever he visited NYC.

The lovebirds began dating in 2024 and got engaged in August 2025, after Travis popped the question in his backyard in Kansas City.
