After getting engaged in December 2024, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are reportedly all set to tie the knot this weekend. The couple will have an intimate yet star-studded wedding in LA in Santa Barbara, California. The intimate celebration will be attended by close friends and family, with reports suggesting a few high profile names from the music and entertainment industry may be present.
The couple has hired top wedding planner Mindy Weiss to organize the at El Encanto, a luxury resort in Santa Barbara owned by Tinder co-founder Justin Mateen. The resort is fully booked for the weekend, with rooms starting at $3,500 per night, as many guests will stay overnight. To ensure privacy, Selena and Benny are spending around $300,000 on security, including guards, closed entrances, and patrols to keep fans and paparazzi away. In total, they have spent over $5 million to make the wedding truly special.
According to The Sun, guests will be picked up and driven to the wedding without knowing the location, adding a fun sense of mystery. While most details are being kept secret, some expected attendees include Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton, and Taylor Swift. Taylor’s fiance, NFL player Travis Kelce, won’t be able to attend because of a game in Kansas on September 29.
