A night to remember!

We had our wedding at the Bel Air Bay Club on February 4th and it was absolutely beautiful! Over the last year, our venue coordinator Kira was incredibly helpful with answering all of our questions and pivoting to a back up rain plan days before the event so we could move everything inside due to rain on our wedding day. We couldn't have dreamed of a more special day, and everything from the food to the service was impeccable. The staff here is absolutely amazing and we would like to give a shoutout to Steve the Director of Banquets, Maria Elena our bridal assistant (a true gem who literally treated us like king and queen), Jacob the sweetest waiter who handled our VIP tables, our day of coordinators Maddie and Ben, and the valet team who worked hard all night in the storm and ensured our guests stayed dry in the rain. Our guests also couldn't stop talking about how delicious the food and drinks were, how smooth the day went, and the true elegance the Bel-Air Bay Club evokes. The food presentation was absolutely beautiful. Even though we had to move everything inside due to the weather, the wedding resulted in an absolutely magical space and we wouldn't have changed a thing! We are incredibly happy that we got married here and highly recommend it for your wedding venue. Thank you to everyone at BABC you are amazing!!!!

Amazing experience!! Absolutely recommend!

I cannot give the Bel-Air Bay Club team enough praise!!! We hired them as our venue (both ceremony and reception) for our wedding on 12/30/23. Throughout the entire process (almost 2 years from booking to wedding) they were incredibly communicative, kind, and helpful! They hopped on multiple email exchanges and calls to make sure we got what we wanted and that everything was organized and in order. They worked with all of our vendors and myself and my husband extremely well. The staff both prior to and day-of were friendly, professional, and awesome. The attention to detail was immaculate. And the space was the just stunning inside and out. We also loved that the pricing was extremely transparent from start to finish. It was truly the wedding of our dreams. To this day, the guests can't stop talking about it. Would recommend Bel-Air Bay Club over and over again!!

You must do your wedding here!

The Bel-Air Bay Club has a fabulous reputation, and after our wedding we know EXACTLY WHY! The club is the most special, wonderful event space / wedding venue you can possibly use in Southern California. Not only is the club and the views alone breathtaking, but every single person who works there is an absolute pleasure. I specifically worked with Jenny and Ashley - who are just unbelievable!!! Jenny helped me source my planner and truly helped guide me on my event when I knew nothing. And, Ashley was our partner throughout the entire process ensuring every detail was perfect. The club is just full of pros, and not to mention the INCREDIBLE FOOD!!!! This place is just top notch!!!!

One of the most beautiful, breathtaking views in all of Southern California belongs to Bel Air Bay Club. There isn't a more seductive setting than the powerful background of the Pacific Ocean from the elevated viewpoint at this amazing venue. We have DJ'd dozens of weddings at Bel Air Bay Club and it's always an incredible experience. From the staff to the priceless location and the amazing views, this venue has all the things you could possibly ask for and remains for decades one of our favorite locations to celebrate a client's wedding.

Having had the pleasure of working on at least one wedding (and other events) at the legendary Bel-Air Bay Club, I have nothing but praise for this venue. With true Million Dollar views and constant renovations to enhance the client experience, the Bel-Air Bay Club is nothing short of a suburb location with a great people from their Chef & Catering Team to their waitstaff and grounds keepers. Highly recommended.
