WELCOME TO THE MOODY ESTATE
In the endless summer of Santa Barbara, California
stands a historic mansion in the shade of giant Acacias and Live Oaks. The Moody Estate is an 11,000 square foot 9-bedroom,
10 bath grand Estate standing on 1.6 garden acres in the heart of the community of Montecito.
The 3000 square foot Ballroom was added in 1914 from designs by architect Julia Morgan, of Hearst
Castle fame. In this room on March 9, 1917, Martha Graham debuted at the age of 21, and it is from this room that she went
on to define the modern dance movement for the 20th Century.
Composer and politician Ignacy Pedarewski preformed in
the Ballroom in 1920, while President of Poland. He played well past his chosen play list, enchanted with the perfect acoustics
of the new room.
I want to say thank you one more time for a truly beautiful
day. The location was elegant and magical and the mood was exactly what we were hoping for. We also appreciate
all your suggestions and help with the various venders. Everyone was so accommodating and incredibly nice to work with. They
are all true professionals and really helped turn a stressful planning period into a pleasant one.
