Now ahead of the ceremony, the exact details of the wedding, which are currently shrouded in secrecy, we can report costs are rocketing to $20million

While the pair have kept details about their impending nuptials under wraps, event planners have told Forbes they estimate the showbiz couple are footing a whopper bill for everything from the venue – where Tay Tay has performed eight times – to flowers.

The iconic music venue costs up to $5million to hire and New York City wedding planner Sonal Shah has told the publication how the flower budget could amount to $3million, after trees were seen being wheeled in.

They told how this could then double when staging and chair coverings were added in.

Madison Square Garden staff are going “above and beyond” to keep all the wedding details under wraps, a source told The U.S. Sun – as they reportedly prepare a stage and even a castle and garden scene.

“They’ve been using trucks to block the loading bay and rushing to shield deliveries as they arrive, ensuring no one gets a glimpse of the elaborate venue taking shape inside,” the source explained.

New York wedding and event planner Lindsay Landman also told the publication has suggested wedding planners for Taylor‘s ultimate Love Story could amount to $1million for food and catering almost $75,000.

A Fruit Riot candy truck was seen at the venue on Wednesday in photos exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun, giving fans clues about what’s on the menu in the coming days.

The insider described the vibe at the scene as “an air of excitement, with passersby desperate to catch any movement.”

Travis, who popped the question last August, and bride to be Taylor are also believed to be footing the hotel bills for guests, which could amount to $3,000 per couple.

Taylor’s famous inner-circle of best friends is expected to turn out in full force.

As part of the attendees, sources have claimed that Selena Gomez is a dead cert for Maid of Honour duties, while supermodel Gigi Hadid and Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner are also expected to be in attendance, among many others.

The star-studded ceremony will also be filled with musical performances.

Several news outlets have also reported that Nicks and Tim McGraw will perform at the extravagant event.

And, while they might be performing for free, there will be associated costs for staging and audio.

Meanwhile, the costs for policing and traffic management is expected to amount to $10million.

Joseph Sordi, CEO of Strategic Security Corp. and 20-year NYPD veteran, told Forbes personnel for an event of this scale could end up costing “well over $2 million”.

The total means the full wedding cost will trump that of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez last year.

The festivities will start with an intimate rehearsal dinner for 100 guests at the arena’s Infosys Theater, a space that normally seats up to 5,600 people.

That event is scheduled to run from 6pm to 10:30pm EST on Thursday evening.

The main event will take place on Friday, with doors set to open for attendees at 3:30pm.
