Mickey Blank, a celebrity photographer who has been working in New York for over 10 years, told BBC Newsbeat that Madison Square Garden is currently surrounded by members of the press but there's not actually much to see.
Despite rumours of a red-carpet reception for the expected A-list guests, Blank said she's not expecting a parade of big-name arrivals.
"It's like Pentagon-level secrecy," she said.
"You cannot go in, you cannot see anything."
The arena boasts underground parking that allows people to arrive in almost secrecy, but the BBC spotted a large white canopy tent being set up in front of the arena where many guests are expected to arrive.
Many VIPs though, including Swift and Kelce, are expected to enter through the underground entrance for privacy.
"Your chances of seeing Taylor Swift are, like, lower than zero," she said.
She added that one of the biggest challenges facing those preparing the venue will be all the recent events that just were hosted there. event that was just staged there.
Blank attended a darts championships at the arena earlier this week, filled with beer-drinking fans, many dressed in costume.
"The floor was so sticky, I could barely move," she said.
Days before that, the arena hosted a concert for the rock band the Bleachers. Earlier last month, the arena also hosted parties and basketball games when the New York Knicks won the NBA Championship.
Transforming the arena into a wedding venue will be a feat.
"I cannot imagine the preparation that goes into that," Blank said.
