New aerial photos have offered a glimpse of the site of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s lavish wedding ceremony. 

Images taken on Friday have captured the palatial, oceanfront estate where the couple will be celebrating their next chapter as husband and wife alongside their star-studded guests.

Gomez, 33, will be saying ‘I do’ to music producer Benny Bianco, 37, in a ceremony at the romantic Sea Crest Nursery – a 70-acre private plantation in Goleta dotted with palm trees and cycads. 

And preparations were well underway on Friday as the venue anticipated an A-list turnout. 

A massive white tent was seen constructed along the cliffside with various curtains shielding the interior, with a deck extending out to face the ocean. 

Increased security could be seen at the venue as Friday wore on, with Gomez thought to be ponying up $300,000 to keep her nuptials safe.

Among the guests who will be there to see Only Murders in the Building star Gomez say yes is Taylor Swift who jetted in alone from Kansas City earlier today.

The blonde star – who promised Gomez she would be her flower girl after her engagement was announced – is staying at the glamorous Rosewood Miramar which sits in the swanky celebrity enclave of Montecito.

The upscale property boasts rooms overlooking the Pacific and the golden sand of Miramar beach with the cheapest accommodation starting at $1,014-per-night.

Despite the romantic choice of hotel, the stunner’s own fiancé Travis Kelce was forced to miss out due to the Kansas City Chiefs squaring off against the Baltimore Ravens at the Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.

Swift aside, most of the 170-strong guest list are being put up at the El Encanto luxury spa resort in Santa Barbara and will be bussed to the main events.

The swanky property – which is owned by Tinder co-founder Justin Mateen – starts $1,000-per-night and is sold out for the weekend.

Other guests set to be celebrating in Santa Barbara this weekend include hotel heiress Paris Hilton and Gomez’s Only Murders in the Building co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin.

The Rare Beauty founder previously joked: ‘Marty’s the ring bearer’.

Before being shuttled to the rehearsal dinner, a group of revelers including Martin, 80, Short, 75, and Rudd, 56, were glimpsed mingling on the patio of the El Encanto hotel.

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

Meanwhile Rudd has been a special guest star on the past three seasons of the program, showcasing his versatility by playing a variety of characters. 

Gomez and Blanco have had a relatively short engagement and announced they would wed early last December in an Instagram post she captioned: ‘Forever begins now’. 

The sweet post was accompanied by a carousel of photos that included a close-up of her stunning marquise cut solitaire diamond engagement ring.

They confirmed their relationship in December 2023.
