Clooney Joined By A-Listers For Venice Wedding

By Tom Kington, for Sky News in Venice

George Clooney kicked off his four-day Venice wedding with a Hollywood entrance down the Grand Canal.

The 53-year-old actor waved from a speedboat named 'Amore' alongside his fiancee, British-Lebanese lawyer Amal Alamuddin, 36.

They motored to the luxury Cipriani hotel where fellow guests, including Matt Damon and model Cindy Crawford, gathered.

Tonight they will enjoy a sumptuous celebrity-studded party.

Vogue editor Anna Wintour also landed in Venice after reportedly advising Ms Alamuddin on her outfits this weekend.

Fellow stars Bono and Brad Pitt are expected in Venice before the wedding guests congregate at the Aman hotel.

The Aman is a seven-star palace on the Grand Canal, decorated with frescoes by artist Tiepolo.

On Friday night, large paintings were delivered to the palace to add to the luxury antique furnishings before the party.

Ms Alamuddin was also spotted arriving by boat, backing up reports she would stay the night there before the party, leaving Clooney with other guests at the Cipriani.

Clooney has stayed regularly at the Cipriani during his visits to the Venice film festival, previously bringing former girlfriends there.

Water taxi drivers at the hotel wore jackets with the letters A and G - for Amal and George - emblazoned on them.

There were fears for the party bash when the hotel's garden was seriously damaged by a freak hailstorm last week, but staff reportedly worked flat out replanting.

Over at the Aman hotel, a woman was seen repeatedly disembarking at the jetty in a wedding dress - rehearsing to see if Ms Alamuddin can do it without falling.

Clooney's whirlwind romance and engagement to Ms Alamuddin follows years in which he denied he would marry.

In 2008, he claimed: "I am never at home and every woman gets sick of it. If I was them, I would never put up with me for long, and they don't."

On Sunday, Clooney and his guests are expected to visit Venice, before the couple formally tie the knot on Monday at a civil ceremony.

The ceremony will take place at a palazzo owned by the town hall, officiated by Walter Veltroni, a friend of Clooney's and the former mayor of Rome.

Local media reported that Clooney had booked tables under the name Mr and Mrs Smith at Venice's famous Harry's Bar, should his guests decide to drink there.
