About

The distinctive event venue offers indoor and outdoor wedding reception options including an atrium that is available year-round, so guests can comfortably enjoy the beauty of any of Chicago's seasons during a wedding reception. In addition to modern climate control, the atrium has tile flooring, an elegant wooden dance floor, state of the art lighting and WiFi.

Along with a deep and entertaining history, Danada House also boasts one of the most beautiful views available to an outdoor wedding venue near Chicago. In 1980, the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County purchased the home built by the Rice's and the 780 surrounding acres it sits on, including its out buildings and a 23-stall Kentucky style stable. As a neighbor to Danada House, the active forest preserve is also home to the Danada Equestrian Center and a 35-acre prairie restoration initiative. Guests at Danada House are privy to all of the beautiful indigenous wildlife of Illinois including many birds, trees and grasses protected by the Forest Preserve District.

A dream come true...

Danada House was the ideal venue for our wedding. The house was charming, elegant, and was the perfect atmosphere for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Our caterer and photography made the most of the location: our guests could move inside and out of the house from one comfortable spot to the next while our photographer captured the beautiful setting.

Danada House was our dream wedding venue and it was everything we hoped it would be.

Danada House was fantastic! Jill was great about getting all the details together and working with my caterer to get everything organized for the big day. They were great about helping with suggesting ceremony sites and helping me work out all the things that I wanted for the day. The property is beautiful and it made for a wonderful night!

After an unfortunate turn of events with our original venue, we were re-planning with 2 months to go until our date. With a 2 month time period, availability for a Saturday was impossible, so we had to get comfortable with a Sunday wedding. Even though we thought it unlikely for Danada House to have any openings left in 2011, I called Danada House and spoke with Jill - explained our turn of events, and she positively suggested 9/11. That date bothered us at first, but we decided that 9/11 will now have positive connection for us and we went with it! Jill, Kathy and Laurie were all so responsive, not just to emails, but they actually answered the phone! Danada House knows how to do what they do best, aesthetics, layout, idea generation, while allowing the other wedding vendors to do what they do best (Yes, you do actually get to use your own vendors! More about that in my other reviews). The house, the grounds, the stables, horses, atmosphere were absolutely perfect. The incompetence and disregard at our previous venue was further evidenced by the professionalism, excitement and constant concern shown by those at Danada House. Everything happens for a reason......we are so thankful that a horrible wedding experience was wiped out by our perfect day at Danada House. Beautiful grounds, beautiful house, wonderful staff and very reasonable price. They have my full recommendation!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

What a great wedding venue! Fourth Estate Audio's DJs have been performing at Danada House since way back when its reception hall was just a big white tent. And through the years, every facet of every event has been consistently handled with professionalism and personal service. The garden is truly a dream setting for a summer wedding ceremony; the mansion provides an elegant atmosphere for cocktails; then it's into the reception hall for dinner and dancing in the round. I can't say enough about all the great parties there that we've been privileged to participate in. Don't change a thing! Danada House is perfect!
