Bel-Air Bay Club is a Mediterranean-style clubhouse on Pacific Coast Highway in Pacific Palisades, incorporated in 1927, with a cliffside ocean-view lawn and nine guest rooms. It takes one wedding at a time, with floor plans for 75 to 275 guests.
Bel-Air Bay Club was incorporated in June 1927, financed by the Los Angeles developer Alphonzo Bell as part of the wider development of Bel Air. It is now split across Pacific Coast Highway: the Upper Club, a 1920s Mediterranean-style mansion on the bluff, is the events venue, and the Lower Club is a private beach club. The address is 16801 Pacific Coast Highway, between Santa Monica and Malibu.
The cliffside lawn is the usual ceremony site, with the Pacific behind it, and a Spanish-style courtyard with a fountain and fireplace works for cocktails. Indoors, a living room with large windows, a fireplace and iron chandeliers is used for receptions. The club hosts one event at a time, and custom floor plans cover weddings of 75 to 275 guests.
