Looking for a venue? Your local Oakdale (IA) community center is a good source for affordable venue options most have less restrictions than privately operated event halls, which require onsite catering only. Oakdale (IA) community centers may have, however, some restrictions to what kind of activities can be held on the Oakdale (IA) premises, so ask questions before booking. If you're holding a public event or fundraising you may need special permits and insurance, too.
