in one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the showbusiness year.
A host of fellow stars descended on the Italian city's canals for the union between the film
world's most eligible bachelor, 53, and Ms Alamuddin, 36.
Clooney's agent broke the news to journalists in a brief statement.
According to AP news agency, that will be the only communication on the wedding.
Clooney and his friends had sipped champagne before gliding up the Grand Canal on Saturday
evening to the luxury Aman Hotel, waving to hundreds of well-wishers.
Clooney's boat was momentarily blocked by a passing cruise liner and then by a water
bus, giving time for dozens of boats carrying photographers to catch up, AP writes.
A police boat swerved in vain to try to keep the paparazzi away.
Ms Alamuddin was last seen publicly on Friday riding in a water taxi down the Grand Canal
with Clooney's arm round her.
