The night before Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey tied the knot at Madison Square Garden, an intimate rehearsal dinner was held at the venue’s Infosys Theater. They invited about 100 guests, including Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Selena Gomez and Lena Dunham.
For days, few details were shared about the events of July 2nd. Now, sources are opening up about the dinner to the public. “Rehearsals were very intimate,” one source said. “It felt like a small, mini-wedding.”
Here’s everything we know about the star-studded night.

A source told People magazine that flowers played a big role in the theater’s transformation: “There were tasteful flowers all around, and the decor was romantic but classy. It was much smaller and more intimate than the wedding the next day.”

Swift and Kelsea were pictured on a dinner date in May at Saltiano’s, an Italian restaurant in New York City. (Sartiano’s and Zero Bond, the New York City private club that Swift frequents, are operated by the same company, Bond Hospitality.)
“They recreated the restaurant menu for Taylor and Travis,” a source told People. Sartiano’s dinner menu includes caviar cannoli, homemade focaccia, burrata, meatballs, Wagyu beef ragu, lobster with bucatini, tomahawk ribeye, and Dover sole piccata.
