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.

Bel Air is a 10/10

Bel Air Bay Club - where do I start?! This venue is absolutely stunning. Every space provides such a beautiful backdrop, it's truly hard to beat. Not only is every inch of this venue gorgeous...the service, the food, the drinks, everything is nothing short of amazing.
First, the service - Ashley was so great to work with, she answered all of my crazy, nit picky, detail questions without batting an eye. She made me and my in laws feel comfortable with what we were getting and what we were paying for (which by the way the cost of everything is so worth it and reasonable!). Next - Ben!!! Ben, oh how everyone loved you! He was so attentive, and made the day run so smooth, literally nothing went wrong. During the wedding, he made sure everyone was taken care of and really went above and beyond.
Food - the food here is top notch. I can't tell you how many guests we had comment on how amazing the food is. From the apps, to the entrees, to the desserts - people were asking for to go boxes by the end of the night that's how much they loved it! The one thing you always worry about when planning a wedding is food, I am here to tell you - you don't need to worry about that with Bel Air.
Drinks - the drinks were goooooood! We had a few signature cocktails and all of our guests absolutely loved them! The wine was delicious, champagne was great, and all of the bartenders and servers were so lovely and gracious. The service here is really just 10/10.
If you are thinking of booking with Bel Air...just do it. You won't regret it. This venue is beautiful cloudy, sunny, hot, cold - doesn't matter (coming from a bride who had a cloudy and windy day, I will tell you first hand that did NOT take away from Bel Air's beauty). Our guests were in awe of the space and kept commenting on how absolutely gorgeous it was. I wish I could get married again and again at Bel Air and am truly sad the experience is over.

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.
