An insider informed the Daily Mail in early June that Swift and Kelce had embraced the idea of a 'spectacle' wedding and selected Madison Square Garden as the venue.
Sources also previously claimed to the Daily Mail that guests who received an invitation were required to sign an NDA before receiving information about the wedding.
Those who sent RSVPs were then sent a link to the agreement, which requires guests not to disclose information about the wedding.
In August, Kelce proposed to Swift, and she shared photos from the intimate engagement on Instagram with the caption: 'Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.'
The football star had turned his backyard in Kansas City into a secret garden wonderland, which offered a romantic atmosphere.
