Andrea Bocelli performing, 60 guests and HER family footing the bill: New details of George Clooney's Venice wedding to Amal Alamuddin emerge

He recently let slip that he is planning to marry his lawyer fiancée Amal Alamuddin in the romantic city of Venice.
And it seems George Clooney is planning to keep his nuptials classy and low key, with only 60 guests invited, according to a new report in Us Weekly.
'He wanted just 60 genuine friends and family,' a source told the publication,' adding that his Ocean's Eleven co-star Matt Damon and his wife Luciana along with best pal Rande Gerber and his wife Cindy Crawford have made the cut. 





But it is still unclear if Brad Pitt and wife Angelina Jolie will be among the guests.

On September 26, George, 53, and Amal, 36, will reportedly hold a 'casual' dinner at the Hotel Cipriani where suites start at $1490 per night.

The next morning, the couple plan to don formal attire and head to the Aman Canal Grande Venice hotel to tie the knot at 11am, according to the website.

Built in 1550, the 24-room, seven-star Aman Canal Grande in the Palazzo Papadopoli offers rooms ranging in price from £1,000 to £3,200 a night and has some of the best views of the city.

Serenade: Italian opera singer Andrea Bocelli is reported to be performing at the nuptials


'It's all very classy,' said the source who added that Amal's younger sister Tala would be the bride's maid of honour, while George's friend Gerber is expected to be his best man.

Us reports the bridal party will tuck into both Italian and Lebanese dishes - Amal was born in Beirut while opera singer Andrea Bocelli will perform.

Perhaps more remarkably, despite Clooney being worth $180 million, Amal's family are said to be 'paying for most' of the lavish wedding, according to the insider.

And as for the bride's dress, Amal has apparently been spotted at the headquarters of Alexander McQueen, the fashion label that created Kate Middleton’s wedding dress.

The British based human-rights lawyer spent an hour and a half at the firm’s offices in Clerkenwell, East London, with her mother, the respected journalist Baria Alamuddin.

Meanwhile Rande was spotted loading more than 50 cases of tequila onto a private jet in Los Angeles on Monday.


TMZ report that the husband of Cindy Crawford was spotted loading cases of Casamigos tequila which is the brand owned by he and business partner George.

A few weeks ago, during an appearance at Celebrity Fight Night in Florence, Italy, George gushed about his nuptials to Amal, who sat in the audience as he accepted an award.

His turn: Clooney took to the podium during the Celebrity Fight Night charity event to accept an award


'I would just like to say to my bride-to-be Amal that I love you very much and I can’t wait to be your husband,' he said.
An eyewitness told E! News: 'She seemed so touched and overwhelmed and at that moment they looked right at each other and it was as if there was no one else in the room.'
It was during the same speech that George let slip that his upcoming nuptials will in fact be taking place in Venice, and not Lake Como as it was previously suspected.

'I met my bride-to-be in Italy, and I will be married in Italy soon, in a couple of weeks. In Venice, of all places,' the 53-year-old divulged.

The star took his blushing soon-to-be bride as his date to the black-tie gala, which was thrown on September 7 in support of the Andres Bocelli Foundation and The Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center.

Well.....that's all very interesting.
Why do these articles always have to quote how much everything costs at the hotel ?

I like the bit about Rande loading up the
private jet with oodles of Casamigos. 

Ok, now we have Sept 27. What happened to Monday the 29th?

The tequila run could be for the bachelor party/ rehearsal dinner.  By the by.. think George will be sober enough the next day at 11AM to recite his vows? Or will they just stay up all night. LOL

Odd.. DM posted the story 3 hrs ago, US Mag posted 1 hr ago.  So, DM scooped US with it's own story by quoting it  by 2 hrs on the internet?    I can't stop laughing.  This is better than drugs.

Bocelli is more possible than Lara.

When was it the 29th? I read the 20th or the 27th. Please let this wedding take place this weekend the press are losing their minds. Hopefully the bride and groom are not being driven nuts by this non sense.

I'm guessing the bride and groom are laughing their asses off!

September 27th?


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

As of today Andrea Bocelli is still in Australia, so if its this weekend and if he is performing then he'd best hop on his private Jet Pronto.
