Beyonce's former Destiny's Child bandmates - Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams also arrived, but hid behind an umbrella as Gwyneth and Chris were mobbed by paparazzi on the scene.

A fight broke out between paparazzi as Beyonce's father, Mathew Knowles arrived and dozens of them surrounded the vehicle he was being carried in.

A host of media including four live trucks are currently stationed outside the location in preparation for coverage of the suspected nuptials. More than three dozen reporters and paparazzi are also outside with the numbers growing.

The rooftop penthouse, owned by Jay-Z is adorned in flowers and tented scaffolding.

A Maybach luxury vehicle arrived at the location shortly before 7 PM local time and drove past as it was mobbed by paparazzi. Jay-Z reportedly owns one of the super high-priced cars.

This is not the first time wedding news for the couple has hit the press. Beyonce shot down rumors she had married Jay-Z in a Vanity Fair story in 2005.

Reports also surfaced in December 2007, that the couple had secretly tied the knot in Paris, France.

When contacted by Access Hollywood and asked about the event this evening, neighbors of the rap star repeatedly offered "no comment."

    They will have a beautiful marriage because they have dated long enough to learn what it takes to be secure emotionally and financially. I pray God's blessings on them. They do look Good together.

    It's nice to see a happy couple. With so many people getting divorced and breaking up these days, I hope they last a long time.
