Photo \/ Getty Images<\/p>\n<p class=\"KGVqebHjEg\" style=\"display:none\">Recent reports claimed the couple were expected to marry over the July 3 weekend, with plans for an intimate ceremony followed by a much larger gathering over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"KGVqebHjEg\" style=\"display:none\">The reports claim the couple have chosen Madison Square Garden as the venue for the celebrations, with an initial event attended by about 100 close family members and friends before a larger reception said to include between 1000 and 2000 guests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"KGVqebHjEg\" style=\"display:none\">Neither Swift nor Kelce has publicly confirmed the plans, and representatives for both had not responded to requests for comment, according to Page Six last month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"KGVqebHjEg\" style=\"display:none\">According to The New York Times, the first gathering is expected to take place on July 2, with a larger celebration planned for the following day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"KGVqebHjEg\" style=\"display:none\">Page Six, which first reported in April the couple were preparing to marry in early July, has also said the event will take place at the iconic Manhattan venue, where Swift has performed multiple sold-out concerts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"KGVqebHjEg\" style=\"display:none\">New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani joked about the wedding when asked about the rumours during a press conference mainly focused on a heatwave.<\/p>\n<p class=\"KGVqebHjEg\" style=\"display:none\">Mamdani, 34, said: \u201cMy recommendation to all New Yorkers is to stay inside and stay cool. And if you happen to be getting married at Madison Square Garden, you will be staying inside and you will be staying cool. And I think it\u2019s a good example to set for the city at large.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img  alt=\"About 100 guests are expected at the couple's wedding, rising to up to 2000 for the reception.

We are used to big events, and we are incredibly excited for this one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"KGVqebHjEg\" style=\"display:none\">\u201cWe know it coincides with the Knicks\u2019 Finals run.
