The wedding itself attracted a thousand guests, and every luxury was considered. For instance, an embroidered handkerchief was placed on each chair for guests to dab their tears during the ceremony. Additionally, Kelce and Swift exchanged vows printed in a golden booklet. Furthermore, the home arena of the New York Knicks basketball team was transformed into a magnificent wedding venue.

If anyone knows the cost of such a wedding celebration, it's Edward Perotti. He has planned and produced over 2000 luxury events worldwide and, in People, he reveals the costs of all the pomp and circumstance. According to the expert, it costs almost a million euros per day just to rent an arena of that size, let alone decorate it.

Nearly Fifty Million Euros

Decorations, labor hours, catering, transportation, and all such matters combined could have cost anywhere between 30 and 45 million euros, according to Perotti. "But expensive doesn't always mean better. Truly iconic parties are the ones people still talk about ten or fifteen years later. Money doesn't create that. Authenticity, care, and details do."
