Oak Creek Community Center

Love that I can make my copies at the OCCC, send faxes, book parties, attend events, and more! Supporting the community is important.
I didn’t realize they made copies until I attended an event. They are much cheaper than the office supply store and friendlier too.
The halls are a nice size and all food I have tried has been superb.
They offer fun family activities in the summer like movies and outside concerts.

I’ve been to the OCCC (As the locals call it) for everything from business meetings to weddings. Rick and Tina and the staff are very friendly and it’s got a total small town vibe about it, which is really welcoming. Not the most modern place-​But, very charming. The building also houses the South Suburban Chamber of Commerce office and Ottawa University holds classes there. They’ve got a lot going on! Anyone who lives and/​or works in the Oak Creek area has been to the Center for one reason or another. Definitely check out their summer concert series and their markets. If you’re looking for things to do in the area, the OCCC usually has something going on!

This review is less about the Oak Creek Community Center and more about the event that I attended there tonight, called «A Night of Wine and Shopping.» Yes, I was impressed with the facility, but the event was essentially a collection of local young businesses and start-​up businesses gathered to showcase their products, very similar to the Shop Local event at the Lakefront Brewery but with a few more vendors.
Some of my favorites were Leaves Floral Design LLC. I bought a handmade candle and also left with a beautiful plant that I’ve already delivered to my mom, and she loves it (I know, awwwwwwe — yup). Next up was Debby’s Sweets and Treats. Debby makes chocolates out of her kitchen with the hopes of having her own store some day. My item of choice that I purchased was the Craisin Almond Bark, made with white chocolate. YUM!
I also bought a Chocolate Peanut Butter cupcake from O’ What a Day Café Gourmet Cupcakes. Another start-​up out of a kitchen but seems closer to opening a store front in Oconomowoc. This cupcake was moist and delicious. Not quite as good as the one I had from the Milwaukee Cupcake Company, but still pretty good and could hold its own in a taste test. I would certainly by another.
Their were other vendors with jewelery, clothing, uniquely designed wine bottles and wine glasses (some with lights in them!) and distributors for products like Dove chocolates and Wildtree All Natural Culinary Blends and oils, with a focus on variations of grape seed oil.
All in all a very well-​organized event with plenty of vendors to get a chunk knocked off of your shopping list, and it was in a really nice facility. I rarely go to Oak Creek because it is a bit of a drive for me, but this event was worth the drive. Kudos!

The Oak Creek Community Center has the best staff ever. I have been there for meetings, for Septembeerfest, for Awards dinners, auctions, weddings and funeral lunches. They also serve a fish fry one Friday a month when it’s not summer. When it is summer, they have outdoor concerts (free!) on the lawn. The variety of events is fantastic.
The food is great, they cook their own fish frys and use Brossman’s Catering for most larger events. It’s fantastic banquet food. They have fantastic offerings. The bar is fully stocked and the prices are reasonable. Again, the staff is incredible.
The layout of the building is great for both meetings and parties. If you have to attend a meeting, the rooms down the hall are segregated from the banquet hall so they are quiet. The main banquet hall is a gorgeous room. And they don’t allow smoking in the building so it’s nice and fresh. I always feel comfortable there and know there is quality in every event.
