A wedding planner has publicly dismissed a persistent rumor that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will marry at the Ocean House in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, on June 13. Luxury event designer Tara Guérard — who is scheduled to oversee a different ceremony at the seaside hotel that day — posted a comment on social media making clear Swift is not her bride for the weekend.
The speculation began after bridal site Wedding Chicks shared an Instagram post on April 4 linking the couple to the coastal venue and suggesting June 13 as a possible date, prompting online sleuthing about bridesmaids, aesthetics and other details. Observers noted the Ocean House’s proximity to Swift’s Rhode Island home and pointed to the number 13 — long associated with the singer — as additional fodder for the rumor mill.
Guérard, a noted designer of high-end events, responded directly beneath the Wedding Chicks post: “I am the wedding planner for June 13th at the Ocean House in Rhode Island! Sorry to let you all know, Taylor is not my bride this weekend! Boo!” Her reply was widely circulated as the rumor gained traction across fan forums and celebrity-watch accounts.
The Ocean House is a luxury hotel perched on the Atlantic shore in Watch Hill, a village that has become a magnet for wealthy visitors and occasional celebrity sightings. Despite the venue’s appeal and the couple’s known ties to Rhode Island, no official wedding date or location has been announced by Swift or Kelce.
Swift and Kelce announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post on Aug. 26, sharing photos from a garden proposal and writing, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” The relationship, which moved into the public eye in 2023 after Kelce attended Swift’s Eras Tour stop in Kansas City and the couple later appeared at an NFL game, has generated intense public and media interest in any hint about a ceremony.
Guérard’s refutation underscores how quickly speculative posts can spread and be treated as fact in the absence of confirmation from the principals. For now, the only verified details remain the couple’s engagement and the lack of an announced wedding plan; anything about dates, venues or guest lists should be considered conjecture until Swift or Kelce make an official statement.
