The pair - who confirmed their engagement in February - have also engaged a top Hollywood event planner, the same woman behind the amazing nuptials of Khloe Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez and Aguilera.
Nicole and Joel are planning to invite about 75 family members and close friends to the garden wedding.
The lovebirds have been dating since late 2006 and have two children together - Harlow, 2, and one-year-old Sparrow.
The couple sparked wedding buzz in late September when Nicole and pals headed to Cabo San Lucas, the Mexican celebrity haven, via private jet for her bachelorette party.
"Nicole and Joel will spend Christmas with their family after the wedding, before heading off on honeymoon," added the insider.
