Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce exchanged vows on July 3.

Months before the July 3 nuptials, Page Six cited sources who claimed that Swift and Kelce wanted to get married at Ocean House in Watch Hill on June 13. The "Fate of Ophelia" songstress reportedly paid another bride a large sum of money to surrender the wedding venue and date — and the bride reportedly agreed.

However, Stephanie Leavitt, Area Director of Sales & Marketing for Ocean House, debunked the claims and told TMZ they would never permit one couple to buy another couple's reserved date. She also denied that Swift had done so.

"When clients and their families choose Ocean House as their wedding venue, it is an agreement and commitment between our team and that family. Ocean House would not and is not allowing another party or entity to buy a wedding group out of a contracted wedding date," she said, adding, "We appreciate the interest in our brides and grooms yet allow them to confirm their wedding location with who they choose."

The couple sparked rumors they would tie the knot before the big day at Madison Square Garden.

Several wedding vendors sparked a wave of speculation when they began sharing posts that hinted at Swift and Kelce's nuptials before the July Fourth weekend.

Wedding designer Rishi Patel wrote on Instagram Stories, "Today, I asked 23 of my colleagues if when they started in the event industry (span of 7 to 45 years) … they would have ever dreamed or imagined they would be part of what we created today … Unanimously the answer was no. That, in itself, means more than I can ever explain. I can't wait to share what we created. But for now, I'm just eternally grateful for those who mean more to me than I could ever explain."

Samantha Roberts, who owns a social media agency, shared a similar post as she reflected on a "career highlight."

"15 years ago I came to New York because I loved events. I dreamed that one day I'd work events like the one I did tonight," she added.

However, Swift and Kelce did not exchange vows until the July 3 ceremony. They later confirmed their marriage by flashing a "JUST&T MARRIED!" sign outside the venue.
