Three Reasons We Love this Venue

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.

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.

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.
