Perfect Wedding

The Bel Air Bay Club team was wonderful in helping my wife, my family, and I plan and execute the perfect wedding. They were super communicative and attentive throughout the entire process and made sure our many adjustment requests were tracked and executed. Ashley and their team proved to be extremely knowledgeable and caring every step of the way. I can't say enough about them. Helps that the venue's architecture and views are world class as well!

May 2024 Wedding

We had our wedding at the Bel-Air Bay Club almost a month ago, and my wife and I couldn't be happier with our choice. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking views of the ocean and beautiful facilities that made our special day truly magical. The elegance and charm of the location provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. The myriad of amenities and benefits provided to us as we had family staying at their guest rooms and as clients were immensely helpful for making our wedding planning less stressful without a professional planner.

A huge thank you to our event coordinator, Ashley. From the very beginning, she was attentive, organized, and readily addressed all of our concerns leading up to the wedding. She understood our vision and ensured that every detail was executed flawlessly. Her expertise and professionalism made the planning process smooth and stress-free.

We also want to give a special shoutout to Ben, our onsite coordinator. On the day of the wedding, Ben was an uplifting presence and ensured everything ran smoothly despite the occurrence of some hiccups. He was always available to answer questions and handle any last-minute changes, allowing us to fully enjoy our day without any worries.

Overall, the staff at Bel-Air Bay Club went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. With regards to the unusual situation that arose during our ceremony, BABC probably could not have handled it better. Their dedication to excellence and genuine care for their clients is evident in everything they do. We highly recommend Bel-Air Bay Club to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with outstanding service.

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.

The Bel Air Bay Club has got to be one of the most beautiful locations for Weddings & Events in the Santa Monica Bay. Every which you turn is full of beauty and majestic vistas of the Pacific Ocean. The staff is super friendly and very helpful! The reception hall has excellent acoustics for having a Live Band or a DJ!

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.
