Set against Galveston’s coastal backdrop, the Moody Mansion’s outdoor rental offers a focused, picture‑perfect setting: guests use the garage and adjoining patio to stage a curated gathering while the mansion’s interior remains private. The arrangement gives hosts the essentials—tables, chairs and linens as available—and the flexibility to begin setup as early as 8 AM for 4–6 hour rental blocks.
