The Best Location for a Special Day

We had an absolutely magnificent wedding at the Bel Air Bay Club. This venue is everything it appears to be and much more. Their on-site planning team is amazing; we had the pleasure of working with Ashley as our coordinator, and she was phenomenal.

We held our ceremony on the lawn facing the ocean, our cocktail hour in the courtyard, and our reception in their main ballroom. I come from a family of food industry folks, and the one thing that was really important to me, aside from a scenic location that was comfortable for guest of all ages, was the ability to to customize a menu and serve delicious food. The food and beverage options at BABC are far and beyond what other venues offer. Their packages offer an excellent ability to mix and match different options to reach your F&B minimum, and everything is delicious. Their chefs pride themselves on making delicious food that satisfies a variety of palates. We were so pleased with our final menu, and our guests and vendors alike consistently shared that one of their favorite parts of our wedding day was the delicious meal and appetizers. We all appreciated the diversity in menu options!

The venue offers so many different ways to make your day feel unique. From cappuccino stands to tray-passed champagne, to permitting cold sparklers and having hotel rooms on site, there's nothing they can't do. They even let us bring in an In-N-Out truck for the last night of the evening.

We were blessed with a stunning overcast day (that made for beautiful pictures) that then cleared up for the perfect beam of sunlight at dusk for our ceremony. With any weather, this venue is perfect, and it needs so few additional decorations to make it shine.

Our vendors all loved working with the BABC staff, too!

If we could do it all over again, we would pick BABC every single time. We love love love this place and are so blessed to have it to return to for many years to come. If you're thinking about the Bel Air Bay Club, book it before you lose your date!

Look no further!!

We got married at BABC on New Year's Eve 2024 - a week before the fires in the Pacific Palisades. Although I'm not sure what 2025 looks like for Bel-Air, I still wanted to share my wonderful experience working with the team at BABC.

From the first interaction with Jenny and the on-site tour and working with Liz for almost a year in planning and then the day-of team of Ben and Madison, everything was 15/10. Every detail was addressed and taken care of. I was able to personalize each aspect and our wedding day was planned down to the (literal) 5-minute. We had countless calls and video meetings planning in the months and weeks leading to the big day and Liz could not be more patient in working with me and changing previously made decisions.

Part of my thank you note to the BABC team: "It was truly perfect!! I keep saying “I wish I was a guest at my own wedding!” so we truly could’ve experienced every detail. We’ve gotten so many comments from our friends and families that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to.

You and the entire BABC staff went above and beyond. The service was incredible, every tiny detail was noticed and taken care of, and the whole day was so smooth. Kyle and I had zero nerves all day and I didn’t look at a clock once if you can believe it!

That brings me to Ben and Madison - wow! What a fantastic team they make. I hope they know how much we appreciated them (and Vivienne!) in bringing the day to life and handling anything that came up so we could just enjoy the day.

I will miss working with you but am so excited to have these perfect wedding memories and the best experience to look back on."

If you have the chance to get married at Bel-Air Bay Club - DO IT! It truly was a magical day and will forever hold a special place in my heart. What a perfect place to start our marriage.

Best Venue in SoCal!

If I could give 1,000,000/10 stars I would. Words can't even begin to describe how amazing this venue, staff, experience, etc. is. My husband and I live in San Diego but are from the east coast & decided early on that we wanted to get married out here in SoCal. Ideally we would of loved to get married in San Diego (because duh we live there!) but didn't fall in love with a venue in the area. Our thought process was "if we're going to ask everyone to fly across the country, we need to give them that Southern California feel" and when we found Bel Air Bay Club...our jaws literally hit the floor. If anyone is looking for a venue that not only is STUNNING inside and literally outside + have the absolute best support from the venue, please look no further. From Ashley to Steve to Maria- everyone was unreal. The email and phone support (& yes I was one of those brides who emailed 35 million times a day and Ashley Hann answered every.single.question without any hesitation!) this venue provides of second to none. When I say that every.single.one.of.our.guests couldn't stop talking about how good the food was, how beautiful the lawn was, how amazing that we had so many different rooms to hangout in, etc. I mean, every guest was blown away by the venue. For getting ready, the boys had their own room that's huge and spacious and overlooks the lawn (I did get some feedback that it was a little warm while they were getting ready) and then us girls had the boardroom downstairs that went straight onto the gorgeous patio that overlook the water (I will admit that I think adding some additional couches or something for comfort would be nice but overall, very comfortable!) and made it super easy for the 10 of us to all get ready! I could write a million pages on why this venue made all my dreams come true, and I truly mean it. Cost wise- you're paying a premium but you're getting an absolute premium with service, food, alcohol, VIEWS & overall experience. If anyone is on the hence about BABC, just do it. We had all 160 guests fly into LAX (only 10 of our guests live on the west coast!), they all stayed in the Courtyard Marriott in Santa Monica, and then we hired shuttles to take everyone to the venue (13 min drive). For the entire weekend we wanted to give our guests an experience that was seamless and beautiful & BABC did just that. Was hands down the best weekend of our lives & we have Bel Air Bay Club to thank for it!

P.S- Maria (venue bridal coordinator) is sweetest lady I have ever met. An absolute god sent- she helped me with everything & anything I needed! Made the entire night so amazing for both me and my husband. Right before I walked down the stairs for our ceremony, I was so nervous/anxious and Maria literally just held me to calm my nerves and help me be less anxious. I mean, what other venue offers a literal wedding emotional support coordinator?! If the above rant didn't convince you to book BABC, have 1 conversation with Maria and that's all you need!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

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.
