Oakland’s always had room for big ideas, so if you’re looking for large event venues, you’re in the right place. Sprawling warehouse spaces in Jack London Square? Grand ballrooms near Lake Merritt? We’ve gathered venues built to handle guest lists that don’t quit. Planning a corporate bash, epic birthday, wedding, or community gathering? These spots have the space, the soul, and the sound systems to match. Bonus points for local art, skyline views, and tacos served out of food trucks (because this is Oakland, after all). Big guest list? No problem. Scroll on and find a space that fits it all.
