Excitement: Marquees were set up around William's house in Beverly Hills
Singer marries the woman he calls his 'Swiss army knife'
Alcohol is reportedly banned from the celebrations due to Williams's previous drink problems
Ceremony was 'very beautiful and romantic', says source
She is the woman Robbie Williams credits with helping him conquer his well-publicised demons and ‘learn to love again’.
And last night, the superstar singer reportedly confirmed his commitment to long-term girlfriend Ayda Field – who he playfully calls his ‘Swiss Army Knife’ – as they were married in an intimate ceremony in front of a handful of family and friends at his £13 million Beverly Hills mansion.
Williams, 36, was so insistent on keeping the wedding venue secret that even the couple’s closest friends were uncertain of the details.
In fact - there has still been no confirmation for the star's spokespeople that the marriage has definitely went ahead, resulting is some very different reports today.
While US magazine People has printed a quote from a source saying the wedding did go ahead and that it was 'very beautiful and romantic', The Sun claims the wedding is not actually going ahead until tomorrow.

The Mirror has reported the wedding did go ahead and the celebrations were to a great extent organised by Williams's mother.
The newspaper has also claimed alcohol was banned throughout the celebrations.
A friend of 31-year-old actress Ayda said: ‘The ‘save the date’ cards that went out two weeks ago only said it was a party to celebrate Robbie’s 20 years in showbusiness.
‘It was only in the last few days that news leaked out that it was going to be a wedding. Robbie is the happiest I have ever seen him.
He says that until Ayda came along he didn’t know what it was like to be truly happy. He credits her with teaching him how to learn to laugh and love again.’
Williams’s bandmates from Take That – Gary Barlow, Jason Orange, Mark Owen and Howard Donald – were not expected at the wedding.
The ceremony was taking place at one of Williams’s three LA homes, at the exclusive Mulholland Estates, an enclave of multi-million-dollar properties protected by gates and armed guards. Neighbours include Paris Hilton, singer Avril Lavigne and Beach Boy Brian Wilson.
A security guard there said: ‘The wedding is at 5pm on Saturday [1am Sunday UK time]. We have had trucks going in all day. We had to bring him and her in through the back gates because he doesn’t want the people to see them.’

Williams said recently of his new bride: ‘I call her my Swiss Army knife because that’s the way I feel about her. She can do anything.
'She loves her football and if anything goes wrong with DVDs, computers or anything like that, she fixes them straight away. She’s just the greatest girl ever.’
Ayda is the daughter of Hollywood producer Gwen Field who divorced her Turkish father, Evecan, when Ayda was a child. He returned to Turkey and remains estranged.

Ayda studied law and political science at university before dropping out to be a stand-up comic in Hollywood. She then took acting classes and landed a succession of small roles on TV, including the Channel 4 comedy-drama Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip.
She appeared in the US daytime soap Days Of Our Lives and was introduced to Williams in May 2006 by mutual friends in LA.
Ayda appeared with Robbie in the 2009 video for his single Bodies. The couple are seen driving through the desert and kissing and cuddling beside a camp fire at night.
Luxury pad: The singer chose his home in the Hollywood Hills for his nuptials
A friend said: ‘She is vivacious and lots of fun. She is also very down-to-earth and approachable. She is good for Robbie because she doesn’t take his moods too seriously and she has helped bring him out of his shell.
‘Robbie lives a reclusive life in LA. He plays golf, invites friends over for dinner and a movie at his house and goes to meetings [of Alcoholics Anonymous]. But you never see him out on the town.
'He’s pretty boring and that is what broke up a lot of his previous relationships but Ayda is happy to stay home and play house.
Preparations: A party firm were seen outside the property on Friday

‘She moved in with him last summer and they have been talking about getting married ever since. They want to start a family soon.’
Williams, who famously battled drug and drink addictions, has dated a host of women including Rod Stewart’s ex-wife Rachel Hunter, Geri Halliwell and Cameron Diaz.
Last night details started to emerge about the intimate wedding party. The simple colour code was white with silver and the flowers – orchids and white roses – were said to have cost £20,000.

Despite calling Ayda ‘the love of my life’, Williams is taking no chances with his £80 million fortune. The couple reportedly signed a pre-nuptial agreement two weeks ago which guarantees her £2 million for every year of marriage but protects the bulk of his empire.
The couple will have a two-week honeymoon before Williams arrives in Britain to promote his latest single, Shame, with Gary Barlow, which is out in October. The new Take That album is released in November.
His first official engagement as a married man will be switching on the Blackpool illuminations on September 3. He said: ‘Blackpool has so many happy memories for me.
I can’t think of a better place to celebrate.’
