George and Amal's strict wedding security rules and guest gifts revealed
George Clooney went to great lengths to ensure his wedding to Amal Alamuddin was as private as possible, setting strict rules for the guests' access to cameras… and even their own phones!
According to TMZ, the 53-year-old's team asked guests to leave their phones in their hotel rooms unless they needed them, in which case they had to leave it at a kiosk near the entrance.
Guests were given a burner phone instead with a code that also served as their ticket to enter the lavish event.

They reportedly also received a camera to take photos as they
pleased, but each was encoded so that Clooney's peeps could track it if
required. So, if any guests leaked those photos to the press, his
security team would be able to identify exactly who did it. Well, that's
a bit creepy.
But it wasn't all bad. The guests were also treated to goodie bags from the Hollywood heart-throb when they arrived at the Hotel Cipriani in Venice, where George booked out all 44 rooms and 41 suites for his pals.
The goodies included a list of things to do during their stay in Venice, invitations to an exclusive Friday night pool party and an iPod with speakers in case they just wanted to chill in their rooms before the big day.
According to Us Weekly, the bride and groom also created a personal playlist for guests to listen to. Kinda cute, right?
On the Saturday morning, friends and family were told to make their way to the boats downstairs to get to the official ceremony held at the Aman Canal Grande hotel.
Celebrity guests included Emily Blunt, John Krasinski and Matt Damon!

From there, they ate lobster, lemon risotto, fried polenta and mushrooms before dancing the night away.
But the celebrations didn't end there, with guests also joining the newlyweds for a 2pm Sunday brunch back at the Cipriani, followed by a late dinner at the Granaries of the Republic, where they were all gifted with a framed picture of themselves and a letter from George and Amal…
"We're both so glad you're here," it read. "You've come a long way so we'll make it worth the trip. Thanks for being here. It means the world to us."
