I genuinely think it was a good call for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck to slip away to Las Vegas and have a small, quiet wedding. I believed the unnamed source who told Page Six that J.Lo “has been ready to get married since the night that Ben proposed. She wanted to lock this down and remove any chance for cold feet ASAP!” As in, J.Lo was still a little bit traumatized by their canceled wedding all those years ago, not to mention how badly Ben sabotaged her and himself in the months before their canceled wedding. They had a small but meaningful ceremony in Vegas, and now it’s done and dusted. No cold feet, and they just had their big honeymoon in Paris. Time, perhaps, to plan for a very big, splashy wedding reception?

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are pulling out all the stops for their upcoming wedding celebration. Multiple sources exclusively tell Page Six that the newlyweds — who got legally hitched in Las Vegas on July 16 — have hired luxury event planner Colin Cowie to create the lavish wedding bash of their dreams.

One insider confirmed that the party will take place at Affleck’s 87-acre property in Riceboro, Ga., likely in the next few weeks.

Cowie has created some of the most extravagant soirées for some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Jerry Seinfeld, Michael Jordan, Nicole Kidman and even Lopez in the past. He and his team promise to give their clients everything from “a royal wedding of epic proportions [to] the most glamorous, sophisticated and tasteful backyard wedding.”

But his services are not for those with shallow pockets. According to Cowie’s website, his company — which has offices in New York and Los Angeles — produces national and international events “with budgets ranging from $25,000 to $25 million.”

A source previously told us Lopez and Affleck’s wedding celebration would be a multi-day affair and that there could be a party on the nearby St. Simons Island, known for its beautiful beaches, wellness retreats and a picturesque lighthouse. We were told that the two- or three-day ordeal would be for “everyone they love but could not invite” to their shock nuptials in Sin City.

The source also said the couple’s guest list includes famous pals Casey Affleck, Matt Damon, Jimmy Kimmel and Lopez’s “Shades of Blue” co-star, Drea de Matteo.

I would imagine their guest list would include all of their famous friends, and I can’t believe Leah Remini hasn’t been mentioned. J.Lo has two sisters too, and her mom and dad. Jen’s mom Guadalupe LOVES Ben too. Anyway, I think a wedding reception/party in Georgia sounds really nice. It will be a chance for J.Lo to have the “extra” celebration she’s dying to have, and Ben will like that they’re using his property, I think.

PS… In one of her last pap strolls in Paris last week, J.Lo carried the Hermes Picnic Kelly bag – made out of wicker and leather – which has a resale value of around $50K-$60K. Bonkers.
