About The Bel Air Bay Club

With its rich history and unparalleled location, the Bel-Air Bay Club has become one of the most beloved wedding venues in Southern California. Originally founded in the 1920s as a private beach club, this property has since been transformed into a stunning event space that seamlessly blends coastal and classic styles. From the moment you step foot on the property, you'll be captivated by the breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and the lush greenery that surrounds it. Whether you choose to exchange vows on the sprawling lawn or dance the night away in the elegant ballroom, the Bel-Air Bay Club offers a romantic and unforgettable backdrop for your special day.

Three Reasons We Love this Venue:

1. Breathtaking Ocean Views

As you enter the Bel-Air Bay Club, you'll be transported to a bygone era of sophistication and refinement. The Mediterranean-style architecture, reminiscent of a grand mansion from the 1920s, sits gracefully on the cliffs, offering panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. From the architectural details to the charming rose-lined walkways, every aspect of this venue has a timeless and elegant atmosphere.


2. A Rich History

With its origins tracing back to the 1920s, the Bel-Air Bay Club holds a rich history. It was a vision of Alphonzo Bell, the pioneering founder of the Bel Air community, as he developed 31 acres. The Mediterranean-style architecture of the property provides the perfect backdrop for any event. For those who appreciate the timelessness of black and white, this venue is perfect. Every angle offers a perfect opportunity to capture stunning monochromatic imagery. The lower hallway is even adorned with black and white images, documenting the history of the club, each telling a story of its own.


3. Unforgettable Wedding Experience

Every detail of the Bel-Air Bay Club is designed to create an unforgettable wedding experience. Surrounded by swaying palm trees and the tranquil ocean as a backdrop, the Ocean View Lawn at Bel-Air Bay Club is the perfect place to exchange your vows. As the sun sets, your guests will enjoy a cocktail hour in the Courtyard Patio, filled with the warm glow of twinkling lights. You can then take a moment to unwind with your guests in the formal Living Room, complete with a beautiful fireplace and wood-beamed ceiling. The festivities then continue in the formal Dining Room, where dinner, dancing and celebration takes place, creating lasting memories with your family and friends.


The Bel-Air Bay Club is an exceptional venue that combines coastal charm with timeless sophistication. Its stunning ocean views, lush green surroundings, and Mediterranean-style architecture make it an ideal location to create lasting memories on your wedding day.
