Our rates are most applicable for guest counts of 125+ based on day of the week (with an average of 175+ on a Saturday where our rate is the highest).

Working with the Bel Air Bay Club to plan my wedding was so amazing and simple! I got married on Saturday June 6, 2026. They provide workbooks and packets of things you must decide on to make your day how you want. I was lucky enough to have had a planner help me plan my perfect day, but the BABC did an amazing job communicating with me as well to make sure we were all on the same page. The staff was so attentive and friendly throughout the whole process. From working with Liz, Jenny, and Alissa leading up to the big day to the staff the day of the wedding, the service and etiquette was more than I could’ve ever imagined. My husband and I were well taken care of all day and everyone always made sure they were there is we needed anything. Marielena, the bridal assistant from BABC, was the sweetest most angelic person I have ever met! She was such an amazing help to my husband and I on the day, and I couldn’t imagine my day without her help. She really is a fairy godmother and if you’re lucky enough to be able to have her assist you on your day, it is such a treat. The food was amazing from start to finish, our guests continue to rave about it until this day! They have so many great options to select from to personalize your day to fit you and your partner’s preferences. The quality is definitely up to par for the price you pay. The BABC does have a lot of regulations and protocols to be mindful of for the day of your event since they are a very busy venue, if you have any questions about restrictions or regulations their team does a great job of answering all of your questions or concerns. My wedding day was such a dream and I wish I could relive it everyday thanks to everyone at the BABC and our amazing vendors. ️️

Awarded Best of Zola
This venue was pure magic from start to finish. We exchanged vows on the lawn with the stunning Downtown LA skyline in the distance and lush canyon greenery all around us—it felt like we were in our own private world. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the infinity pool area and the pavilion, which made the perfect spot for cocktails at sunset. The staff were incredible, taking care of every detail so we could just enjoy our day. Every photo looks like it belongs in a magazine. We’ll cherish this place and the memories we made here forever.
