00:00Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding is shaping up to be an all-day, all-night affair,
00:04and now we know exactly how the celebration is expected to unfold.
00:08Page Six can exclusively reveal the full schedule for the couple's highly-anticipated Madison
00:13Square Garden wedding, which is set to last more than 10 hours.
00:17The festivities actually begin the night before, with an intimate rehearsal dinner at the arena's
00:22Infosys Theatre.
00:23Around 100 guests are expected to attend the Thursday evening event, which will run from
00:286 p.m. until 10.30 p.m.
00:31Sources tell us guests will enter through the venue's four-pen entrance, with the theater's
00:35private, secure location, helping keep the event away from paparazzi.
00:39Then comes the main event.
00:41On Friday, doors to MSG are scheduled to open at 3.30 p.m.
00:45Guests will head to a cocktail hour on the arena's sixth-floor concourse, starting at 4 p.m.
00:51The ceremony is set to begin at 5.30 p.m. on the arena floor, where more than 1,000
00:56guests
00:56are expected to watch Swift and Kelsey say, I do.
00:59The reception kicks off at 6.30 p.m. and is scheduled to continue until 2 a.m., making
01:05for a wedding celebration that spans well over 10 hours.
01:08And with a guest list that includes Selena Gomez, Karlie Kloss, Zoe Kravitz, Ed Sheeran,
01:14the Haim Sisters, Sookie Waterhouse, Gigi Hadid, and more, there won't be a shortage of star power.
01:20Sources also tell Page Six that Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw are expected to perform during
01:25the reception, while Swift is planning multiple outfit changes throughout the evening.
01:30Preparation for the massive event has already transformed the garden.
01:33Workers have been spotted bringing in deliveries labeled Garden Party, draping fabric from the
01:38arena ceiling, and even briefly rolling out a red carpet before removing it.
01:42We've also exclusively heard the couple is building a massive castle inside Madison Square
01:47Garden as part of the wedding decor.
01:49To help accommodate the event, the couple also filed permits requesting street closures around
01:54the arena from July 2nd through July 4th, along with a public tent outside the venue.
01:59And with that level of planning comes a major security operation.
02:03According to TMZ, more than 70 NYPD detectives and over 50 additional officers are expected
02:09to work the rehearsal dinner and wedding festivities.
02:11The reported police presence is estimated to cost at least $160,000.
02:17The couple had reportedly been planning to marry in Rhode Island before deciding to move the celebration
02:22to New York over security concerns as the guest list continued to grow.
02:26One thing's for sure, this isn't just a wedding, it's shaping up to be one of the biggest celebrity
02:30events of the year.
