The entertainment world is abuzz with fresh details about the upcoming nuptials of global pop icon Taylor Swift and NFL superstar Travis Kelce. Following their engagement announcement in August 2025, the power couple has reportedly zeroed in on a picturesque coastal venue for their big day, setting the stage for what promises to be a wedding of the decade.
The Chosen Venue: Ocean House, Rhode Island
Multiple sources have confirmed to Page Six that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are planning to get married at the Ocean House in Rhode Island. This stunning hotel, perched right off the Atlantic Ocean, is known for its breathtaking views and luxurious amenities. The wedding is tentatively scheduled for June 13, 2026. However, securing this dream date came with a significant hurdle and a display of Swift's formidable influence.
Reports indicate that the venue was already booked for their desired date. In a move straight out of a Hollywood plot, Taylor Swift leveraged her $1.6 billion empire to make an offer the original booking party couldn't refuse. She reportedly used her financial muscle to buy out the existing reservation, ensuring her wedding plans stayed on track.
Guest List Woes and Venue Considerations
The choice of Ocean House also appears to be a practical solution to a growing guest list. Initially, the couple considered getting married at Swift's own Watch Hill mansion, which is located on the same island and close to Ocean House. However, the plan was scrapped as the list of invitees expanded dramatically.
Travis Kelce intends to invite numerous childhood friends and his NFL teammates, while Taylor Swift's side includes a long roster of A-list celebrities like Selena Gomez and Ed Sheeran. This made her private estate impractical for hosting such a large gathering. A blackberry farm in Tennessee was also briefly in contention for its space but has since been ruled out.
A Breakdown of the Lavish Costs
While the final bill for the superstar wedding remains a closely guarded secret, the standard tariffs at Ocean House provide a glimpse into the potential expenditure. According to the venue's website:
- Room tariffs range between $600 to $755 (approximately ₹54,000 to ₹68,000).
- The venue offers four distinct locations for ceremonies and receptions.
- The intimate Herb Garden, seating 20, costs around $1,000 (₹90,000).
- For larger gatherings of 200-250 guests, the East Lawn costs $3,500 (₹3.14 lakh) and the Beach costs $15,000 (₹13.5 lakh).
- The South Lawn, seating 150, is priced at $5,500 (₹4.9 lakh) from October to May and $6,500 (₹5.8 lakh) from June to September.
Plated dinners for guests are priced from $335 (₹30,000) to $565 (₹50,000) per person. The venue also offers an array of premium activities for guests, including private boat and yacht cruises, ocean and harvest spas, croquet, beach yoga, and cabana rentals. Comprehensive services like vendor recommendations, production management, menu tasting, and wedding attire fittings are part of the package.
Despite the swirling reports, there has been no official confirmation from Swift or Kelce's representatives. In a statement addressing the buyout rumours, a representative for Ocean House clarified, "When clients and their families choose Ocean House as their wedding venue, it is an agreement and commitment between our team and that family. Ocean House would not and is not allowing another party or entity to buy a wedding group out of a contracted wedding date."
Regardless of the final venue logistics and costs, fans worldwide are eagerly anticipating a spectacular celebration, following the dreamy proposal orchestrated by Travis Kelce, marking the next chapter in this modern-day fairy tale.
