Perfect October wedding venue!
— An Eventective User
from FLAT ROCK
We just hosted the perfect wedding event at Bel Air Affairs. The estate and grounds are stunning. The ballroom and outside patio will accommodate a large group. If you are looking for a venue that is a blank slate and are ready for your imagination to run wild, this is the space for you. There is no catering kitchen, so consider a food truck which there is ample space for in an accessible area for guests. Harold and Joy are extremely accommodating.

I recently had a wedding here and this estate is very beautiful. This venue offers diverse areas where you can hold your celebrating. The owners are so kind and they were extremely accommodating. We got to tour the venue multiple times and set up the day before the wedding. They also had a fitting vehicle at the estate and the owners drove us to and from the ceremony (we held the ceremony at a different location on the estate). Definitely recommend!
Management Response
Thank you Alla. These are the tips we work for. Your planning, attention to detail, yummies, guests, and disc jockey made this so memorable and worthwhile. Truly one of the best weddings Bel Air Affairs has ever seen. Have a precious and carefree marriage.

My granddaughter had her wedding at Bel Air. We were absolutely blessed to find this beautiful place to have it. The stress of ,not just the wedding, but going through the hurricane, the flooding, the damage, was off the chart. But Joy and Harold were such calming souls and made it one of the best days for all.. All of the family thanks you from the bottom of our hearts. Not only did I get to see my granddaughter get married, but I also made a friend for life ( Joy you live up to your name for sure!). I would say if you are in need of a venue for anything or anyone, call Harold and Joy! You will not be disappointed!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bel Air Affairs and Mr and Mrs Reed. When my daughter decided to change her venue 2 months before the wedding, I thought this venue was too good to be true. As a stressed out Mom, it was more than I ever expected! It is absolutely beautiful and the added bonus was how wonderful the owners were. We were treated so wonderfully, I can never repay their kindness shown to not just us but the entire wedding guest list.
I HIGHLY recommend Bel Air affairs, I would 100% suggest if you are looking for a venue that has many options, give them a call! I have already recommended them to another family!

Beautiful Halloween Wedding
— An Eventective User
from Stedman, NC
The nicest people to work with. They made it so easy for me to plan our intimate family wedding. We had 20 guests and have room to dance and socialize and could have put another 20 people in the ballroom easily. The artwork can not be properly described in words. The beauty of the lovely art on the walls is even better than the mountain views. I highly rate this venue for any gathering. Extremely high class surroundings but yet still down to earth. I would use again in the future for any family event. Would love to do a murder mystery dinner there!

Our Son and Daughter in Law’s Wedding

from King, NC
Our son and daughter in law were married at Bel Air Affairs August 6,2023. We feel very fortunate to have found such a beautiful and unique place. The ceremony took place at the gazebo by the lake followed by the reception in the banquet room. We only had about 52 people so this accommodated us well. Most chairs and tables were provided. We did rent a few extra chairs and 4 more tables. Harold and Joy were very helpful and nice but also flexible and relaxed in helping with our needs. Always quick to answer emails and calls. This is the perfect place for your special occasion! Thanks so much to Harold and Joy!
Management Response
Blessings on your nuptials.
Today is the beginning of your forever happy wedding!

We worked with Harold and Joy to plan our daughters wedding in February. They did an awesome job and were so gracious and so very very helpful with anything we needed to do or any questions that we had. They allowed us more than enough time to be able to set up and break down and they were always available to answer any questions. They were always there to help you. Their place is stunning.

April 15th wedding

Harold and Joy were an absolute blessing to find. Their home was not only beautiful, but filled with magnificent paintings. Harold and joy helped in every way they could. Even bringing out their car and helping clean up. Which was completely unnecessary but so helpful. Their kindness extends beyond words. Sweetest couple, nice property, and a beautiful day for a wedding. Thankful to them!
Management Response
Thank you for gracing our home. We were glad our venue could bring your bold imagination to life The Spinelli's and Green's are very sociable
folks. You organized a first class wedding with gorgeous decorations. The tables were adorned with tall glass vases housing flickering candles, beautiful linens, and chair covers with bows. All bestowed a sense of formality, Not to mention an interactive DJ with a truck load of speakers, multicolored lights bouncing near and far, six subtle floor lanterns casting a blue haze, a silver screen projection show, one mixologist, and 2 (not one) catering teams offering a scrumptious food buffet (Michelin 5 star +). Photo ops and memories galore. What a spectacle!
Wonderful location with great hosts!

Harold and Joy were such a pleasure to work with while we were planning and throwing a 1920’s themed party / 30th Anniversary Vow Renewal. The venue is beautiful and the pricing structure is extremely reasonable! We highly recommend booking this venue!
Management Response
Reply: Their 30th Anniversary Vow Renewal was sheer class. Tuxes, gowns, gracious help in formal wear. The tables were decorated with tall goose neck glass vases holding white feather plumes. The men wore matching boutonnieres. Hollywood costume artists and set designers would humbly bow with approval.. Our business continues to grow due to referrals from our customers. We sincerely thank you for recommending us. Permit me to revel with your commemoration.

When we first visited the Bel Air chateau with gazebo on a huge tract of land with 6 acre lake, my fiancée said: “We've seen enough venues. This is it.”
The availability of food warmers, so many table and chair options, and the hospitality shown by Joy and Harold were over the top. 12 foot ceilings, luxurious rest rooms, hardwood floors a la Newport and beautiful bridal suite right out of Architectural Digest were all reassuring factors.

Harold and Joy were wonderful hosts, eager to accommodate all of our needs. The venue was perfect for our outdoor wedding, which included 80 people and a cocktail-style reception. We highly recommend it.
Management Response
We are truly grateful to have been chosen to host this joyous celebration monitored by generations of family members and friends on both sides. The decorations were so inspiring and lavish, not to mention elegant trays of food and cakes, a non-stop concert pianist, and potted ferns. Was I at the Botanical Gardens? This marriage commences with tympanic glory, cheers, and good wishes. Blessing to Mr. and Mrs, and all their wonderful role models! Our applause continues.

Incredible Experience
— An Eventective User
from Asheville, NC
I've been putting off writing a review, because I haven't had the words to capture my experience at the Bel Aire Affairs Estate.
For my 33rd Birthday, I hosted a magically themed self-commitment ceremony at the Bel Aire Estate. I couldn't have chosen a more perfect venue for my location, and was so thrilled with the experience.
It's hard to imagine, but the Estate is even more beautiful in person than is depicted here. I hosted my event in Late June and found the grounds to be beautiful, green, lush, and blooming. The home itself is a living work of art.
The owners of the estate Joy and Harold are artistic souls, and their home embodies a phenomenal blend of gallery and luxury design. You could spend hours gazing at the mesmerizing pieces in their collection.
I'm an art therapist by trade, and enjoyed being surrounded by soulful pieces of vibrant colors in the beautifully lit area while sharing the space with friends and family.
Harold and Joy (the owners) are delightful. You truly couldn't have better hosts in managing an event. Harold and Joy were always receptive to my phone calls, questions, and visits to the venue and gracious with their time, effort, and resources. On multiple occasions, they both dedicated effort to making the experience special and unique for me! I was so touched by the little thoughtful gestures they included on the day of my event.
5/5 Stars: I would absolutely recommend this charming magical space. In fact, I hope to have the opportunity to host another event there in the future.

Bel Air Affairs is and was a grand venue for our bridal party. We luxuriated like royalty on their 80 acre estate with 6 acre lake and classy chateau. The many ornamental architectural features, gazebo, surrounding landscape, bridal suite with canopied bed. and ballroom inspired photo ops galore.
Our cordial hosts, Joy and Harold, fulfilled our hospitality needs to the Nth degree. We left with happy tingles to have been a part of such a gracious and memorable event. Wishing you and your gallant crews continued success. Yes, happy to refer others to you. (You didn't have to ask.) Vanessa K.

The perfect wedding in the perfect place. Just to let you know, we and our guests were thrilled to have been confirmed in holy matrimony at Bel Air Affairs. Who could imagine, an 80 acre estate with 6 acre lake, gazebo and classy chateau with so many architectural features.
A real ballroom and bridal suite with canopied bed.
We found it difficult to put our camera down.
