Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce enlisted comedian Adam Sandler to officiate their wedding ceremony at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, July 3, according to confirmation from Swift's representative to Us Weekly.
The 36-year-old newlyweds chose an unconventional approach to their wedding party structure for the black-tie ceremony. Rather than selecting traditional bridesmaids and groomsmen, Swift designated her brother, Austin Swift, as her man of honor, while Kelce selected his brother, Jason Kelce, as his best man.
The selection of Sandler, 59, to preside over the nuptials reflects the connections between the three celebrities. The actor's daughters, Sadie, 20, and Sunny, 17, have maintained their admiration for Swift since childhood. Additionally, Sandler has developed a friendship with Travis Kelce following the Kansas City Chiefs tight end's appearance in the 2025 film Happy Gilmore 2.
The couple's relationship began in the summer of 2023, progressing to an engagement in August 2025. Their decision to hold the ceremony at the iconic Manhattan venue adds another chapter to Swift's long association with New York City, where she has maintained a residence and frequently performed throughout her career.
Madison Square Garden, often called "The World's Most Famous Arena," has hosted numerous high-profile events throughout its history, though celebrity weddings of this magnitude remain relatively rare at the venue. The choice of location underscores the couple's preference for a distinctive celebration that departs from traditional wedding settings.
