Selena Gomez’ big wedding weekend has kicked off in style with a glamorous rehearsal dinner at a country mansion in Goleta’s tony Hope Ranch neighborhood – a vast 1,863-acre estate in the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains.
The Friday night feast saw guests – including her megastar bestie Taylor Swift who was seen sweeping in in a convoy of three SUVs – descend on the 10-bedroom white-washed property after being chauffeured to the spot in a fleet of Mercedes buses.
The palatial home, which sits on a seven-acre lot and was built in the 1930s, is owned by insurance boss Greg Econn according to records.
Gomez, 33, will say ‘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.
Along with abundant foliage, the property also sits on a clifftop bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean and, on Friday, contractors were seen setting up a series of marquees.
Photos taken by the Daily Mail show tubs of decorative blooms already set up around the tents while a romantic glow will be provided by strings of fairy lights.
