Tantalising details have emerged of the wedding dinner, with stars reportedly to dine on lobster, wild mushrooms and figs at a banquet fit for the gods.
Clooney said goodbye to bachelorhood Friday night with a stag party at his favourite restaurant, just hours after sweeping into the floating city with Amal aboard a water taxi dubbed "Amore".
After shaking off the paparazzi, Clooney and his chums headed to Da Ivo near Saint Mark's Square for the venue's prized Venetian and Tuscan delicacies.
The feasting continued Saturday evening in the garden of the 450-year-old Palazzo Papadopoli, where guests were met with lashings of bubbly and canapes, including polenta with wild mushrooms and prosciutto ham with figs, according to a source.
The sumptuous five-course dinner was expected to include lemon risotto with lobster and a sea bass main -- as well as a wedding cake, the source said.
The 53-year-old actor had 100 cases of his own tequila label flown in for his wedding and was expected to have cracked open bottles of the award-winning tipple at the party.
Clooney's Lebanese-born bride-to-be was not seen before the party but had been snapped Friday evening in a red gown at a soiree with close friends including actress Ellen Barkin -- who threw the 36-year-old human rights lawyer a hen party several weeks ago.
