"It happened earlier this evening. Jay wanted it to be a really private affair - close friends and family," a friend of the couple told People
The wedding was followed by a party, for which Jay-Z had asked good friend DJ Cassidy to spin.
The guest list included Beyoncé's mother Tina Knowles, her father/manager Mathew, her sister Solange, her Destiny's Child mates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, and the couple's friend Gwyneth Paltrow.
There has been no official confirmation of the wedding.
The first indications that the couple was set to tie the knot came when they were seen obtaining a marriage license from a village hall in Scarsdale, N.Y., on Tuesday, April 1.
Early Friday morning, workers were seen erecting a white tent atop the apartment building, adjacent to Jay-Z's penthouse apartment.
Later, vehicles delivered AV equipment, party rentals and flowers; waiters practiced their service as the media gathered outside the building.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z have been dating since 2002.
