We got married at Danada House in Wheaton, so we decided to use the Crowne Plaza for our hotel block. We were extremely happy with our experience here.

Katie Smith, their Catering Sales Manager, was a pleasure to work with. She was extremely friendly and helpful throughout the entire process. This hotel also offered us the most benefits for booking with them and did not have many contingencies which we appreciated.

Some of the perks for weddings include:
-Their bridal suite is fantastic! It's super cute for photos. Although it is decorated in all blue with blue couches, it is definitely better than your typical hotel room background. Plus the rate for all of their rooms was the same or cheaper than all other hotels in the area, so to have this awesome bridal suite at a very affordable rate was more than I could ask for!
-They also have a grooms suite which is just as big as the bridal suite but not as cute/girly. It is perfect for the guys getting ready or if you just need another large suite.
-All the rooms were clean and had a nice set up. They also had light blocking curtains which is a huge deal for me, as well as refrigerators. All the rooms seemed to be updated and modernized.
-The pool area is really nice and big. This is great if you have any kids that want to swim or even time yourself to swim.
-They give you 1 free shuttle round trip for every 10 rooms booked. This is more generous than some of the other hotels in the area.
-If you provide welcome bags, they will hand them out to your guests.
-If you book 10 rooms they will provide a standard room to the bride and groom complimentary and if you book 20 rooms they will upgrade that complimentary room to the suite.
-The lobby area is very open, clean, and welcoming. It looks like a nicer high end hotel.
-They have a restaurant attached (Glen Prairie Restaurant) which can do private after parties.
-They also offer breakfast for guests for an additional $10 per person.

I can't say enough good things about our daughter's wedding reception at the Crown Plaza. We went with the Gold package and it was perfect. The food is superb, the service excellent and the accommodations wonderful. I highly recommend it to others!

We had our Holiday Celebration and craft show in the Plains Ballroom. Frank and Joyce worked together to give us a wonderful space to create our show in. Our questions were always answered immediately, our requests were always filled promptly. The staff was wonderful and very kind to all of our guests for the show. Beyond the excellent service, the Hotel itself is beautifully decorated and the restaurant had delicious food! We definitely recommend this space!
