Adam Sandler got ordained in New York to marry Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden
Travis Kelce has revealed Adam Sandler played a very special surprise role at his and Taylor Swift’s wedding — and why it made the day ‘absolutely insane’.
If you thought star-studded weddings had peaked, think again. Adam Sandler just took things up a notch by presiding over this summer’s most-talked-about celebrity nuptials: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Yes, Sandler didn’t just attend; he literally married them. The whole escapade got aired in detail by Kelce himself on the first episode of this season’s New Heights podcast, and frankly, the behind-the-scenes story is as bizarrely entertaining as it sounds.
‘He has been just the f---ing best person on this planet. For him to be up for getting ordained in the state of New York and marrying me and Taylor, and the way he did it, in the very Sandman style, and giving us more than what we could’ve ever imagined at that moment, knowing that it was the biggest night of our lives, it was absolutely insane.’
That’s Kelce, still gobsmacked, describing Sandler’s stint in the role of wedding officiant. Apparently, the night zipped by so quickly the Kansas City Chiefs star almost wished he could hit rewind and do the whole thing again, just to take it all in.
The Road to Madison Square Garden
Sandler and Kelce’s unlikely bromance can be traced back to their recent stint filming Happy Gilmore 2. Whatever chemistry they had on set clearly carried over, paving the way for this extraordinary favour—turns out, Sandler will get ordained for you if you ask nicely. Their connection only got stronger given Sandler’s family ties to Swift’s musical universe: both his daughters, Sadie and Sunny, are die-hard Taylor Swift fans, and he’s sung the singer-songwriter’s praises publicly on more than one occasion.

Madison Square Garden hosted the Swift-Kelce wedding on 3 July 2026 with Sandler as officiant.
In picking their officiant, Swift and Kelce went with someone who could keep things genuine, sentimental and, crucially, funny enough to stop the whole thing from collapsing under its own stardom. Who better than the guy known for wedding singers, not to mention an entire CV full of eventful onscreen ceremonies?
So there you have it: Adam Sandler, never one to just turn up for a bit of cake, basically stole the show at the year’s most OTT wedding. Not exactly your standard trip to the registry office, is it?
