From the reviews
We hosted our wedding at Bel-Air Bay club and cannot put in to words how exceptional the experience was from start to finish. We toured on a gray and cloudy day and were still amazed by the beauty of the space and knew immediately we wanted to book.
My wife, Rose Mary and I had our wedding at Bel-Air Bay Club (BABC) on July 15, 2022. Our wedding was pushed back twice from June 7, 2020 and again from July 25, 2021 due to the pandemic. We thank BABC so much for being understanding and flexible with the rescheduling. After 3.
Incredible experience from beginning to end! So my husband and I are from Northern California and we had several relatives in the Southern California area so we searched online to find a venue that would meet in the middle and that would overlook the ocean. We did the walkthrough video on youtube and booked it.
I got married at BABC in October of this year and it was literally a dream come true! I dreamed about getting married here and I feel so lucky I was able to get a date here.
Getting married at Bel-Air Bay Club
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
