The wedding of our dreams!

My husband and I first visited The Moxi a few years ago for a company holiday party, and from that day on we knew that we wanted to get married there! We do not have enough amazing things to say about The Moxi staff, and Jennifer specifically, who made the entire planning and logistic process an absolute breeze and worked arm and arm with our planner to make sure that everything was exactly what we wanted! The wedding was the most beautiful thing we could have ever imagined, and Jennifer and team made that possible. If you are looking for an incredibly unique venue, beautiful, and special with the best views of Santa Barbara - look no further than The Moxi!

The most fun and the best view in town

Fun, interactive, gorgeous view - all adjectives that make this wedding venue unique. Wonderfully supportive staff that were there for us from when the first vendor showed up at noon to when the lights were turned off at midnight. Our guests were so impressed with everything they saw and experienced.

Amazing Rooftop Welcome Party

We hosted our welcome party for our wedding at the Moxi. Riley was responsive, flexible and very helpful in executing our ideas! The Moxi rooftop is BEAUTIFUL at sunset and has plenty of room for food stations and a band. We are so glad we got to host our event here!
