The couple plans to have a rehearsal dinner Thursday evening and a wedding celebration Friday into the early hours of Saturday morning at Madison Square Garden, according to two law enforcement sources familiar with the security planning for the events.
The rehearsal dinner Thursday will be for around 100 people at the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden, the two sources told CBS News. The second, larger event can accommodate around 1,000 people, the sources said, and it could go until 4 a.m.
ABC News was first to report the planned celebrations on Tuesday.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting details and sharing rumors about the potential ceremony for Swift and Kelce after news broke that Swift had rented out the massive concert venue, which locals refer to as “the Garden.”
Swift’s team applied for a street activity permit from July 2 to July 4, a senior law enforcement source told CBS News last week. The source added that the event planners will need to hire private security because NYPD resources are already tight during that time, when tourists flood the city for the Fourth of July weekend.
The NYPD did not immediately respond to a request for comment on this story.
