SELena Gomez's Whirlwind Wedding Weekend: The Inside Scoop on Her Lavish Nuptials!

It's the most anticipated union of the year, and Selena Gomez is finally tying the knot with her music producer beau Benny Blanco! The 33-year-old singer has been busy preparing for her big day, surrounded by A-list friends and family. And trust us, this wedding weekend is going to be one for the books!

The festivities kicked off on Friday at a country mansion in Goleta's tony Hope Ranch neighborhood, where guests like Taylor Swift (who arrived in style with a convoy of three SUVs!) descended upon the 10-bedroom estate after being chauffeured there in luxury Mercedes buses. The El Encanto luxury spa resort in Santa Barbara is hosting most of the 170-strong guest list, who will be bussed to the main events.

Rudd and Martin have evidently built up a rapport, as Rudd was seen laughing cheerfully while having a chat with Martin at the hotel before the rehearsal dinner

The A-List Guest List!

Among the VIP attendees are Gomez's Only Murders in the Building co-stars Steve Martin (who co-created the hit show), Martin Short, and Paul Rudd. The three comedians were spotted mingling on the patio of the hotel before the rehearsal dinner, with Rudd looking dashing in a purple suit.

Taylor Swift Steals the Show!

Short was glimpsed at one point being led away from the event by a blonde woman who did not appear to be his rumored girlfriend Meryl Streep

Swift, who promised Gomez she'd be her flower girl after the engagement announcement, arrived solo from Kansas City earlier that day. She's staying at the swanky Rosewood Miramar in Montecito, which boasts rooms overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the golden sand of Miramar beach (starting at $1,014-per-night – yikes!). Despite her fiancé Travis Kelce missing out due to his NFL commitments, Swift is certainly making up for it with her A-list presence.

Paris Hilton Joins the Party!

Other celebrities expected to attend include hotel heiress Paris Hilton, who's previously joked that Gomez's co-star Martin Short would be the ring bearer. We can't wait to see what other surprises this weekend has in store!

Steve Martin co-created Only Murders in the Building and has been starring on it with Gomez and Martin Short throughout its acclaimed five-season run

The Couple's Whirlwind Romance!

Gomez and Blanco announced their engagement just last December, with the singer captioning her Instagram post "Forever begins now." The two met while collaborating on a song in 2019 (who could forget Blanco dressed as a white teddy bear?), but it wasn't until they worked together again on Single Soon that sparks flew.

The couple's romance has been nothing short of fairytale-like, with Blanco gushing about Gomez being the "best thing" to ever happen to him. They even made their red-carpet debut at the 2023 Emmy Awards! The lovebirds are set to tie the knot in a romantic ceremony at the stunning Sea Crest Nursery plantation in Goleta, perched on a clifftop bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

The Price of Perfection!

Gomez is reportedly shelling out $300,000 for increased security measures at her wedding venue. And it's easy to see why – with A-listers like Swift and Hilton attending, this weekend is going to be one for the paparazzi! Meanwhile, the El Encanto hotel (owned by Tinder co-founder Justin Mateen) starts at a whopping $1,000-per-night – talk about luxury!

The Big Day Ahead!
