George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin tied the knot in a high-profile, star-studded affair that was split between two iconic Venetian properties: the Belmond Hotel Cipriani and the Aman Canal Grande Venice. Helping to make Venice, Italy, a hot spot for couples, searches for Venetian hotels went up 20 percent over one week after their festivities. These were for stays in October and November of this year.
Yet in general, the Belmond Hotel Cipriani and the Aman Canal Grande are mainstays when it comes to luxury vacations and momentous occasions. In spite of Clooney's influence, many couples have dreamed of celebrating their big day surrounded by such European beauty. Being right off of the canal, the Belmond Hotel Cipriani offers an ideal and idyllic experience of Venice.
