Clooneys Hold Post-Wedding Party At UK Hotel

George Clooney and new wife Amal had the wedding of the year but it seemed they were not ready to stop celebrating - this time with a party on the Thames.

Amal's parents, Baria and Ramzi Alamuddin, were believed to have hosted the gathering at Danesfield House Hotel near Marlow, Bucks, for guests who could not make the Italian ceremony.

Sky News understands the hotel had been in lock down since Saturday lunchtime with staff having to hand in their phones to ensure no details are leaked.

It led to speculation that A-list stars could attend, with locals hoping for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie after the pair missed the Venice wedding.

A number of cars with blacked-out windows were seen driving past the venue.

Entertainment journalist Ashley Pearson told Sky News: "By all accounts, Amal's parents are rather traditional and they wanted to throw a wedding for their daughter as most people planned to do.

"There's every belief that her parents are footing the bill for this party despite the fact that she is now married to a multi-millionaire.

"This is for their friends, their family friends as well as Amal's colleagues who couldn't make it to Venice."

She added the Italian wedding "became such a spectacle in the end" and "I think this is something that is going to be much more private".

A marquee was put up in the hotel's 65-acre grounds with the on site Michelin-starred chef expected to cater for guests.

The grounds are accessible by helicopter for those who do not want to drive.There is also a spa for those wanting to relax.

The management refused to confirm who was hosting the private event.

The spot is a perfect choice for British-Lebanese lawyer Amal who grew up nearby and is believed to have bought a home with US actor Clooney down the road in Sonning.

People living in Marlow were very excited when they spoke to Sky News.

One woman said: "It's a nice thing for the community. I'm sure everyone's very happy for them because I know she's a local girl and she went to a local school."

Another said: "It's all very exciting. It's fantastic. I think it'll bring some business to Marlow as well."
