Planning a Party in Iowa

We list 157 businesses in Iowa across 88 cities and towns: 86 event venues, 61 party places, 1 party rentals, 1 planners & decorators, 9 party supplies. The most are in Des Moines (14), Cedar Rapids (10), Iowa (6).

When should I book an event venue in Iowa?

For a large party, book 3–6 months ahead, and 6–12 months for Saturday nights in December or May–June graduation season. Fridays, Sundays and daytime slots are usually easier to get and often cheaper.

Do I need a permit for a party tent or bounce house in Iowa?

It depends on the city, county, park or HOA, not the state alone. Large tents often need a fire or building permit, and parks often need a reservation for inflatables. Ask your city and your rental company before you book.

Plan ahead with the party checklist, the budget calculator and the venue guide. Need food? Find caterers on catering.broker.
