"Today, we watched with great pride and overwhelming emotion as Chelsea and Marc wed in a beautiful ceremony at Astor Courts, surrounded by family and their close friends," the Clintons said.
"We could not have asked for a more perfect day to celebrate the beginning of their life together, and we are so happy to welcome Marc into our family."
The couple had a rabbi and a reverend perform their interfaith ceremony. Chelsea was raised Methodist, and Marc is Jewish.
Details of the wedding were highly guarded in the weeks leading up to the marriage, with vendors told to sign confidentiality agreements and guests being sworn to secrecy.
More than 400 guests were at the historic estate, and some of the celebrities spotted in Rhinebeck for the event included actors Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen, fashion designer Vera Wang and Madeleine Albright, who was secretary of state during Bill Clintons second term as president.
The wedding capped off a star-studded frenzy in sleepy Rhinebeck, N.Y.
"I’ve known her since she was a baby, so this is a big moment," Steenburgen, a pal of former President Bill Clinton since his days as Arkansas governor, said earlier this afternoon.
She is a lovely girl."
Hubby Danson of "Cheers" fame blurted out, "I’m certainly excited!"
Earlier today, Rep. Anthony Weiner of Queens – who is married to one of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s closest aides – was spotted lunching with Steve Bing, movie producer and longtime Clinton friend.
"I’m very happy for them. I hope they have a wonderful time," said Weiner, as the two men downed beers and fried food at an outdoor table.
Roads and airspace around Rhinebeck were closed today as security officials prepared to handle throngs of well-wishers lining the streets, hoping for a glimpse of the blushing bride.
