Danada House

My husband and I got married at the Danada House in September. The venue is beautiful and there are several options where you can choose to be married on the grounds. The inside of the house has a historic mansion feeling, which we loved, but my favorite part of the house was the outdoor patio between the atrium and the house, it's a great spot for a cocktail hour. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars on my review is because of the service. When we initially viewed the venue and met the ladies who represent it, they were very nice and accommodating, they said they've helped with tons of weddings and done things like help brides get ready, make sure the flow of the ceremony goes well, make announcements, etc. However, after booking I felt like I was chasing people for responses, on our rehearsal day no one from the Danada House was present to ask questions to, even when we tried to find them inside, and on the day of our wedding they only came around to make sure that we were clearing the spaces in time for them to setup for the next wedding. While they are not expected to be wedding coordinators, I felt like they could have either been more present or not given a false sense of comfort.

A one-of-a-kind venue. Love the homey vibe, but still has a modern flare. Jill was extremely easy to work with and helped us every step of the way. Perfect for any time of year and price is very reasonable.

This is an amazing venue! It was incredibly beautiful all around from the outside to the inside! Jill was so amazing and answered all my questions, and was able to guide me on decorations based on Danada's unique visuals. She was also amazing at recommending other vendors. All of our guests all fell in love with this place and kept hearing how much they loved the venue! All of our photos also came out beautiful as well! We were all very happy and pleased with this venue!

Danada House is beautiful! Jill was very helpful in answering our questions and getting our contract set up. We used it as our reception location after our church ceremony. The day of we had a hostess who was very helpful with showing us where we could put our personal items and making sure we were happy with everything. Danada House provides a beautiful backdrop for bridal photos as well as for guest photos. We kept getting compliments from our guests on how pretty it looked! You do have to bring in your own caterer but they provide you a list of ones they have worked with previously. I would highly recommend Danada House for a wedding venue!

Jill was amazing to work with! all our guests couldn't believe how beautiful it looked. The property has so many amazing photo opportunities. I could not have picked a better venue.

It was an incredible joy and a gift to have our wedding reception in the atrium at Danada House, and to support the efforts of those preserving the heritage of the area. The staff are incredibly thoughtful and gracious, the team dependable, and their credibility and strong relationships in the industry made coordination with our other vendors easy and meaningful.

Danada house was the perfect venue for our 150 person wedding. The lighting in the atrium was absolutely beautiful! The bathrooms were very accessible for those who are disabled. I personally liked that the bathrooms were in a separate coridoor instead of being in the main atrium area. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind to work with. The grounds were simply stunning for our late October wedding, which really made it worth it. Highly recommend this venue.

Danada House was the perfect venue for our 100-person wedding (ceremony and reception). Our guests raved about how wonderful everything was-- classy and beautiful without feeling overly formal or stuffy, a good mix of indoor and outdoor spaces, and some smaller rooms off the main reception area for folks who wanted a quieter atmosphere. We didn't need to do much in the way of decorations because the venue is so naturally stunning. The staff were on top of every detail and made sure the day went smoothly, even when there was a brief downpour about 10 minutes before our ceremony was set to begin. My only advice is to book early if you want a Saturday night-- we booked 2 years in advance and had a limited selection of Saturday evenings to choose from!

Danada House was truly a stunning venue to have our wedding at. The venue has beautiful grounds, a vintage house, and a stunning glass atrium. We had to move our wedding due to COVID and JIll was very helpful and accommodating us with the move and everything along the way. We had so many compliments about the venue and how beautiful it was. We loved that there was outdoor space available for cocktail hour and also during the reception. If you are able to rent the house for the whole day was really nice to be able to get ready and have extra time for setting up. We brought several additional things for our wedding: chairs, band, liquor, and had late-night food delivered and we learned in the process that due to only one loading area and the caterer usually taking up that space that you might have to have a good plan for drop off and pick up.

If you have the opportunity to have your wedding at Danada House, do it!! Everything was absolute perfection! Our wedding day was incredibly hot, but there were plenty of shady spots to have all our pictures outside! Jill was so wonderful to work with throughout the planning process and made everything easy! I would recommend this venue to all my friends! You will NOT regret choosing Danada! (Advice: it books fast, so snag it when you can!)

Danada House was absolutely gorgeous: the grounds (lilacs blooming in late May!), the house, the reception atrium (those lights!). The staff was very friendly and communicative. We were able to select our own caterer (with their suggestions) which was very important to us to have that level of choice. Just know that you are only renting the space, there are no other services included for wedding planning besides suggestions for vendors. You do get an Event Host on the day-of who directs vendors and helps with things like lights and timing for the ceremony procession. The getting-ready area upstairs was very large for the girls (less so for the guys) and just as beautiful as the rest of the venue with antique furniture, etc. If you want a vintage-y (or even rustic with the horse barns!) wedding vibe, this is your place. You can choose pretty much anywhere to have your ceremony, and the grounds are huge. They also host ceremonies in the beautiful atrium (reception location) in case of inclement weather, which was a huge factor in choosing this venue since they had a back-up. Thankfully our rose garden ceremony was on a beautiful day! Would recommend Danada to anyone!

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.

While COVID prevented us from holding our wedding reception at Danada House, I wanted to leave a review about the rest of the process. Jill was super accommodating and answered the million questions I had with the patience of a saint. She let us look around and the House showed its own beauty to us. We planned on holding the cocktail hour in the house and the reception in the atrium while taking pictures on the gorgeous grounds. If you are looking for a reasonably priced venue with all-in-one capabilities that still lets you pick your own caterer, Danada House is for you!! I hope another bride gets to host her dream wedding here because the pictures will be beautiful! My only setback with this venue is the limited time you have to set up. For instance, to not have to spend another several thousand dollars for a whole day rental, we chose the option to rent from 4pm-12am. Therefore, our family/friends were going to have to set up the reception space from 4pm-6pm while we took pictures. So Cocktail hour would be 6-7 and your reception won’s start until 7pm. If you hire a wedding coordinator or service to help, then it wouldn’t be as much of a problem.

Danada house has such a wonderful staff and worked with us even during The COVID-19 pandemic to make sure our dream wedding was still achievable. Big thank you to Jill and Lori for all their help on our big day!!

Jill, Cathy, and the whole DH team were great to work with! They were very professional, communicative, and efficient. We highly recommend this venue for a wedding.

There's a reason this venue books up so quickly! If you're thinking about Danada House as an option, I suggest you look early! It was the absolute perfect venue for our reception over Labor Day weekend. The outdoor spaces were perfect for cocktail hour, and the inside of the house was ideal for our older guests as well. The indoor/outdoor combo made for the perfect start to the evening. The venue was able to accommodate 200 guests, plus a band and didn't feel cramped. Even though it's been 6 months since our wedding, we still get compliments from the guests who were there. The staff at Danada were very helpful and accommodating even though it's such a popular venue. We are not particularly into horses, but the grounds are on the forest preserve and there is a barn and horses near by. Every location for pictures was scenic, and provided great results for our photographs and video! Would highly recommend this venue for couples who are looking for a scenic and elegant event!

Never got a response to my email asking if I could tour the venue.

After visiting Danada House in January, even though it was covered in snow, my husband and I both knew that this was the place we wanted to get married. We love the atrium and the glass doors and the element of nature. The grounds are beautiful and have so many places to take amazing pictures. I liked the bridal and groom suite upstairs which is also beautiful. I liked the option of having our ceremony was outside and our reception in the atrium. Before seeing Danada House and looking at other venues many had smaller rooms for smaller weddings that did not look as nice as the larger, more grand rooms. I like that even though we had a smaller guest count we did not have to share Danada House with another wedding or event. Overall it was a great experience and beautiful venue that I highly recommend.

We had our wedding reception at Danada House in June 2019. We loved our experience with Danada House! We selected the venue for it's privacy and beautiful grounds. We loved being the only wedding on the property and our wedding photos turned out beautifully thanks to the gardens/property! The atrium is the perfect place for a reception. The views through the large windows are beautiful. The dance floor is inviting, since it is in the middle of the room. Guests had a great time! Communication leading up to the wedding was easy as well! Danada makes it easy to select vendors and plan the big day.

Take one look at Danada House and you’ll know it’s beautiful. The gardens, the house and the atrium are perfect for a wedding. What’s even better is the Danada House service. Jill and Kathy were so helpful and accommodating throughout the entire wedding planning process. They were very responsive whenever I had questions (and I had a lot), they helped me with my timeline and let me come to the venue on the weekends to plan where certain decorations would go. They always have a point person working which was helpful during the rehearsal and the day of. Between Danada house, my caterer and the band, there was definitely no need for a wedding planner. My husband and I are so happy we got married here!

Danada House was the perfect backdrop for our perfect wedding. This estate has everything you would want for a picturesque day: well kept grounds and a variety of different landscape to take photos, a glass window atrium for your reception, and a vintage estate that is charming. On top of that, the staff has been responsive and flexible since day 1. We are ecstatic with how our day turned out and incredibly grateful we chose to have our wedding at Danada House. HIGH value for a low price.

Great venue, perfect for photos. Everything was on site so it made it easy that guests didn't have to travel. Many hotels close by, we were able to get a shuttle for guests to travel to and from the Danada House. We highly recommend!

Danada is a beautiful venue!! My husband & I had our wedding reception there a couple weeks ago & we received so many compliments from our guests. It is such a unique venue and we loved using the different rooms in the house for cocktail hour. The atrium looked amazing lit up at night! Jill was very professional & answered all our questions during the wedding planning process. I highly recommend Danada House!

Danada House was the ideal venue for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception on August 23. We knew it would be good, but we were especially impressed by the final result. We had our wedding on a Friday because Danada books out very far in advance (we put down our deposit 14-15 months ahead of the event). However, our Friday wedding was just as perfect as a Saturday wedding! We extended our rental to have the space from 12pm to 1 am (dancing stopped at midnight). It was worth the extra money to have more time for set-up and photos prior to the 6pm ceremony. I will say, this venue is on the pricier side, but it was worth every penny. You will need to get your own caterer, and pay per chair for the ceremony. The exterior was well manicured with so many beautiful flowers! Our ceremony took place outside at the archway, my in-laws created hanging flowers for the archway that gave it the extra "umph" I was looking for. The sun was still shining very bright at 6pm, and the temperature was perfect (72 degrees). I was worried about mosquitoes, but never had an issue with any during any part of the event. The house and atrium provided perfect atmosphere for the evening. The hanging lights were gorgeous as my guests and I danced the night away! Guests also enjoyed the patio area as a retreat from dancing. We really enjoyed having the private rooms upstairs for the bridal party, especially prior to the ceremony. We have received so many compliments from our guests about the venue. We truly enjoyed the entire day, including our time at Danada House. Thank you Jill, Laurie, and Kathy at Danada for all your work over the past year!

It's beautiful, especially in the summer when the flowers are all in bloom! The atrium is very nice with all of the windows, and the hanging lights make for a great ambiance during dances. The outdoor patio was a fun place to keep the party going with a breath of fresh air. Only thing that I didn't like as much was the decor inside of the house, but I don't think the guests noticed the wallpaper as much as the decorations I put up. Jill and the other ladies in the office are very nice and helpful, and willing to work with you! Overall, it was the perfect setting for my wedding, and I highly suggest it if you aren't looking for a classic banquet hall wedding.

We were blown away by the beauty here when we chose our ceremony and reception location. The service of the people there was excellent and everything went smoothly the day of! We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding thanks to Danada House and all of the people there!

We had our wedding at the Danada House in August 2018. We chose the Danada House because it was more reasonably-priced than other locations we had looked at in the city, and because more was included in the rental price (such as the tables and chairs for the reception). We had both our wedding ceremony and reception on-site at the Danada House. We were able to book the venue well in advance of our wedding, and were able to easily re-negotiate how long we would be renting the space on the day (our original reservation had our rental time starting at 4PM, but we eventually changed the start time to 11AM). Jill and the other staff at the Danada House were very helpful and always answered our questions in a timely and professional manner. The success and enjoyment of our wedding were due in part to us choosing the Danada House. It's a beautiful venue for a wedding. We would definitely recommend the Danada House for weddings (both ceremony and reception).

I’ve always wanted to get married here and I finally did! The venue is breathtaking and the grounds are even better! Totally recommend to anyone who wants a dream wedding!

What a beautiful venue. I had every intention of an outdoor wedding but it rained on my wedding day. I was upset at first but it all ended up working out because no matter if you have your wedding outside or inside it will look magical. The reception hall is the same area that your ceremony could be in. It is surrounded in windows that look out onto a wooded area with drop lights. It gives the whole place such a romantic and warm feeling. There are so many nooks and cranny's to take gorgeous pictures at. Danada House is so beautiful and if you're lucky, you can get some pictures with the horses.

We had our wedding here in July 2018. We looked for wedding venues close to two years out from when we actually wanted to get married, we just knew we wanted a summer or fall Saturday evening wedding. We were shocked to find out that Danada books all Saturdays and most Fridays insanely fast two years out. We were put on a wait list of what appeared to be about 20 with a general request for any summer Saturday in 2018. Thankfully, after about 3 weeks had past we were given a call that the hold was let go for the July 28th date and we immediately put our deposit down. Moral of the story is, if you are more than 2 years our inquiry immediately about the hold process as I do not believe they require a deposit at that time and if you are thinking about getting engaged and know Danada is your dream venue maybe hold the venue 2 years out? I don’t know it’s a crazy process, who knows that far in advance that they want to get married! Thankfully it worked for us and I’m glad it’s not all about who can pay the most money either because that isn’t always fair or right either. Kathy gave us the tour of Danada and worked with us several times leading up to our wedding and the night of our actual wedding. We also spoke to Jill several times as well. Both ladies were super sweet and helpful throughout the whole process. Kathy was always optimistic about us getting our wedding at Danada and we appreciated her guidance throughout the process. She helped with set up at the event and made sure we left with all our belongings at the end of the event. The property itself is absolutely beautiful! It’s perfect for an all in one venue. There are three great spots for ceremony sites: in the garden area which includes an arch, out by the fences which can be done under two trees, or by the horseshoe area surrounded by white pillars. Then guests can walk around the house or outside or on the patio for cocktail hour and the reception takes place in the atrium with the hanging lights and windowed walls letting in the natural light. There is an upstairs area which has a beautiful bridal suite to get ready in and a small area for the guys to hangout in. They also have a large table in one of the rooms. The evening rental time is from 4-12 with the wedding ending at 11. However, you can pay to extended that an hour for your wedding to end at midnight (note you will have to pay your vendors more as well usually). Something to think about as well is that you have to make sure to remove all your stuff that evening, although people helped me with this it’s just not something I want to think about on my wedding night. I wish there was a way to make this not your burden but to check with you on who is in charge of this or take the fear away that your stuff won’t be trashed or you won’t be fined etc. I guess this is a role of a wedding planner but after paying a venue and a catering fee that was just a lot of money to add a third coordinator but little value added. Takeaway feedback: if you are not a big photo person or the average photo person than the 4-12 time slot will be fine for you, if you want a million photos, really talk about this with your photographer and come up with a game plan. Think about if additional hour at the end of the night is worth the extra costs at Danada, catering, dj, etc! Overall, I loved the venue and I’m glad I had my wedding here! Kathy and Jill were great!

I love the Danada House! This venue is tucked away in Naperville on the most beautiful, peaceful grounds and is the perfect setting for a special celebration. We had our 9.9.18 brunch wedding at Danada, and I cannot be happier with the venue choice. The team there was so easy to work with, and the space is exceptional - from the beautiful bridal and grooms suites, to the wonderful garden ceremony space, to the gorgeous atrium. Everything is flawless! Thank you so much for such a dreamy venue, and we would highly recommend to anyone!

I found Danada House by happenstance on Facebook and from that moment, I knew I wanted to get married there someday. When I went for a tour, I fell in love and lucky my husband-to-be fell in love, too! Because it is so coveted, we ended up booking a Thursday wedding and it certainly did not disappoint. Jill and Kathy were amazing throughout the process and always answered emails and phone calls in a very timely manner. The grounds men were very polite that day as well. The grounds, ceremony site, house, bridal party suites, and the atrium we clean and in spectacular shape. We have gotten a multitude of compliments from our guests stating how beautiful Danada House is and how much fun they had! Having our wedding at Danada House was the best decision and we couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out.

We loved using Danada House as our reception site for our 7/7/18 wedding! Danada House is really one of the premier wedding sites in the Chicagoland area. The grounds surrounding the home were beautiful, full of flowers and trees. The house itself is gorgeous and so charming. We have so many beautiful pictures on the front patio and around the home!! The house is also set up perfectly for a wedding - we used the smaller rooms of the house for our cocktail hour, and the large atrium for dinner and dancing. I've always wanted an outdoor wedding, but was too afraid to plan a totally outdoor wedding with weather concerns, but Danada was the perfect balance! Our guests could mingle both inside and outside, and the glass atrium almost made it feel like we were outside! The lights hanging from the ceiling also made dancing feel like we were dancing under the stars. Our guests raved about Danada, and couldn't believe they didn't know about it for their own weddings! A few pieces of advice - this place books up fast! We reserved the home almost 2 years before our wedding (we didn't need a deposit until 18mo prior). Also - there isn't a lot of guidance on how to plan your wedding at Danada House unless you reach out to the Danada House staff first. Any time we did reach out, however, staff were super helpful! If you're looking for a preferred caterer - we can't say enough wonderful things about Maries!!

We were impressed with Jill at Danada House from the start. Her willingness to work with our wishes for the wedding, her professionalism, and her knowledge of the banquet experience were unsurpassed and sold us on Danada House for our daughter and her husband’s wedding location. The bridal party enjoyed preparing for the wedding inside the lovely home. Outdoors we were surrounded with spectacular photo options. The beauty of the building and the grounds added much to the splendor of the evening. The wedding and reception took our breath away. The flexibility of Danada House also made it possible to have the feeling of an outdoor wedding inside a well air conditioned atrium on a 96 degree day. Kathy and Lori were of great assistance in making the rehearsal and the wedding day run smoothly.

We had our June 23, 2018, wedding (ceremony and reception) at Danada House and it was beyond perfect. I extended our access of the venue by two hours, which I highly recommend (we were able to arrive at 2 p.m. instead of 4 p.m.). The bridal suite is beautiful and spacious, the grounds are breathtaking, and the atrium is unlike anything I've seen before. We knew from the beginning that we did not want our wedding in a banquet hall or hotel; we wanted an outdoorsy venue with a reception area that had windows. If you feel the same way, then Danada House is the place to have your wedding!

This venue was so perfect for our wedding reception. Everyone kept telling us throughout the night how beautiful the location was and how they had never seen a more beautiful venue. Jill is such a gem to work with. She was so nice and responsive during the planning process. I always felt like a VIP when talking with her. Thank you for everything!

Danada House was the ideal venue for our wedding reception on June 10. We knew it would be good, but we were especially impressed by the final result. The house and atrium provided perfect atmosphere for the evening. We enjoyed having the private rooms upstairs for the bridal party. We have received so many compliments from our guests about the venue. We truly enjoyed the entire day, including our time at Danada House!

We booked Danada House all day for our June wedding. They helped us plan out our floor plan, they answered all our random questions that came up through the process, and day-of, they were there guiding us and supervising everything. It is an absolutely beautiful venue. The atrium's hanging lights add the perfect ambiance to a formal night, and there was plenty of room for all our guests (165) to party! The courtyard was a great place to cool off. Danada is so unique because of all the little rooms! Having the upstairs to get ready in also made our day a lot easier, since everything was all in one place. We love Danada House!

The house and atrium are absolutely wonderful- so many guests loved everything about it! I got married May 12th and the weather that day wasn't great- but my event coordinator from Danada (Kathy I believe) was awesome and have everything we needed in the atrium ready to roll at our ceremony time. The price (at least to me) was great and even better when you receive the initial deposit back. If I have any 'compliant' it would be perhaps easier if the coordinators had their own email addresses- but otherwise loved it all :)

We couldn't have asked for a more gorgeous wedding venue! Danada House is the perfect combination of glamorous and rustic that my husband and I wanted for our wedding day. Our guests had (and continue to have) nothing but compliments to share with us about both the staff and the ambiance. We loved having cocktail hour in the home and then getting to walk through the glass corridor that enters the atrium for the reception. It honestly felt like we were living in a fairy tale. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day or a more beautiful venue.

The Danada House was the perfect venue for our wedding reception! We looked specifically for a place that would compliment our brunch and morning reception. The two of us were looking specifically for a spot that would be classy, elegant, yet relaxed and comfortable as we wanted to convey a celebration of our marriage instead of a party. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and the house/atrium are breathtaking with the lights, wooden beams, and windows. Our guests were able to mingle with one another both inside and out and were just as impressed as we were. Our friends and family and those in attendance were the only ones on the property for the morning and afternoon which made the occasion personal and intimate. We didn't have to worry about another wedding the next room over as the grounds are only able to have one event at a time. Thank you to the Danada House, the volunteers, and all of the women that helped us make the happiest day of our life truly wonderful. We look forward to coming back and visiting!

Danada House was the perfect location for our September wedding. The grounds and building are just gorgeous. Jill and the rest of the staff have been extremely helpful throughout the process and always responsive. Everything was so organized and went so smoothly, it was perfect.

Danada House was the PERFECT place to have my wedding. My husband and I got married in July in the back garden and had our reception in the atrium. We didn't need many decorations because of the natural beauty of the grounds. The staff was easy to communicate with before the wedding and the day of. We loved Danada House because of all the space we had - the whole grounds! It felt very intimate because of this. Our guests kept complimenting it the whole night. We also loved the fact that there was a bridal suite where both bridal parties were able to get ready. If you're thinking of booking Danada House for your wedding, just make sure to plan ahead and try and get it! It's a coveted location for good reason.

This venue is absolutely beautiful. It helped me achieve the perfect blend of rustic and elegant that I wanted for our wedding. We had our ceremony outside in the gardens and we basically didn't need any extra decor for the ceremony because it was already so pretty. I loved this venue too because there was an easy rain plan. Thankfully the weather was beautiful, but I had peace of mind knowing we had a plan if it rained for our ceremony. The reception was in their atrium which is a beautiful room with floor to ceiling windows and easy access to an outdoor deck. They provided us with a list of preferred vendors and we found several of the companies that made our wedding great through them. The only complaint I have is with communication leading up to the wedding. I sent an email that didn't get a reply during the planning process and when we set up an appointment the week of our wedding to pick out our ceremony site they were showing the house to two other couples at the time so we had to just kind of walk around on our own which ended up being fine, but would've been nice to know before hand. We also weren't able to set up our rehearsal the day before the wedding because they're just too popular of a location. It would've had to be two days before the wedding, which didn't work for us since most of our bridal party was flying in from out of state. That being said, our wedding was absolutely beautiful and they did an amazing job the day of our wedding. We also accidentally left something there and they had set it aside and made it very easy for us to pick up. I would definitely recommend Danada House as your wedding venue. It will be beautiful and well organized! Just be aware that they're super popular and book up really fast so you will probably have to book them about two years in advance, especially if you want a Saturday wedding! We ended up having to go with a Friday because when we looked (November of 2015) every Saturday from April through November 2017 was already booked!

This was our dream venue on paper--suburb affordable, beautiful elegant but rustic chic at same time. So many different areas for photos that you can do everything all in one place and save yourself some logistics! Tons of hotels of varying prices not even 5 minutes away, also a great downtown Naperville and Wheaton for a rehearsal dinner. Jill and the staff at Danada House are what pushes this venue over the edge. Their communication is clear and concise and they have more experience and suggestions than you can imagine. They know what they're doing and are so incredibly well respected by everyone they work with. Danada house provides a list of caterers to choose from so you're not starting at square one, have great options for indoor and outdoor ceremony, pictures, cocktail hour etc. we were incredibly and consistently blown away throughout the whole process. They do book up quick so think ahead when getting a date!

I had my wedding here on 8-28-16 and everything was beautiful. I kept getting compliments from my family as to how nice the place was. The bridal suite on the 2nd floor was also a very nice place to come and relax in between all of the wedding madness. I would definitely recommend this place for any person looking for a wedding venue

Beautiful location, but staff is very difficult to get in touch with. The main woman in charge of event scheduling is never available, and does not respond to emails or voicemail's. I booked my event for a Friday afternoon, but have been charged a weekend rate (higher cost). I have not been able to get in touch with someone to resolve this issue before my anticipated date. When I first toured the area and requested availability I was given three different cost rates that the women in charge of securing rentals rambled off off the top of her head. Grounds are amazing, but I would not say staff is punctual or very professional.

I booked Danada House for my ceremony and reception. I chose Danada because I wanted an elegant backyard wedding that I could not host myself. Danada was exactly what I was looking for. We had the ceremony outside on the lawn at the arbor. The garden provided a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony so additional decor was needed. The reception in the atrium was absolutely perfect. The windows and hanging lights provided an ambiance that was romantic and simple, yet stunning. So many of my guests commented on the day of and even after that it was a beautiful venue. I would not hesitate to recommend Danada House to a bride who is looking for an alternative to a banquet hall. Jill and all of the other staff members were friendly and helped to make our wedding day stress-free. Do book early because this venue is in high demand!

I had my wedding here in May. It was an absolutely beautiful location. My guests loved that they could explore the house and the grounds during the reception. Despite it being 50 degrees outside, we had an outside ceremony which was absolutely beautiful. I rented the venue for the entire day so I was able to get ready there in the morning and just enjoy a stress free morning and afternoon. Jill was wonderful to work with. She was extremely helpful answering any questions I may have had. Laurie (or maybe Lori?) was on site during my wedding day and she was also amazing. She helper with everything and made us feel very at home. Despite seeming like they may have a ton of rules, the staff were very laid back and let me run with whatever design ideas I had. I absolutely loved the Grooms rooms and brides rooms upstairs, they were spacious enough and just perfect for getting ready. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the way my wedding turned out, and it wouldn't have been half as beautiful without the beauty of Danada House, it was worth every penny to rent the venue for the full day.

The atrium looked absolutely ethereal for my December wedding and the rest of the house was decorated so beautifully for the holiday season. Wonderful staff and amazing venue. Couldn't be happier we chose Danada House!

We really enjoyed The Danada House and have received many compliments about the location. We did the ceremony and reception all at the Danada House. It is fairly expensive as you rent the facility and have to hire the caterer from their list of preferred carters or pay extra to use a caterer that is not on the list. We went with Uncle Bub's who is on the list and loved it. The Danada house does have the tables and white garden chairs for the reception. They also use white garden chairs for the ceremony, but you have to pay per chair for set up. This is separate from the rental fee. The lady who gave us the original tour was kind but didn't seem too interested in selling The Danada House since they were basically book all of 2015. We toured in early-mid August of 2014. I was about to give up on this location but decided to ask about any cancelations. I did get notified about a few cancelations and ended up with September 20th. I would have preferred a Saturday, but the Sunday worked perfectly. There was also no event prior to mine so I was able to rent an extra hour at the beginning to get ready. A big complaint would be communication. I was at school in Minnesota and did a lot of communicating over email. I would send an email and it would take days for a response at times. Some times I wouldn't even get a reply until I called then I would get an email back not a call back. It was also confusing since all 3 ladies have access to the email so you never really knew who would be emailing back. The majority of your coordinating will be through your caterer. If they are on the preferred caterer list they are very good at working directly with the staff at the Danada house so you don't have to act as a middle man. The lady who worked the evening of our wedding was great and very helpful. She was not around much, but would help when needed. I was okay that she was not very in your face and let the night roll along while still knowing she was there to help. I loved having my wedding at the Danada house and I wouldn't let a poor tour or interaction at the front end turn you away.

Such a beautiful space! I chose The Danada House because I wanted an outdoor wedding...the atrium has floor to ceiling windows and skylights so it feels like you are outdoors under the stars. They have a gorgeous garden area where the ceremony is held...unfortunately, it rained on my wedding day so we had to move the ceremony into the atrium at the last minute. The coordinators at the venue along with my catering company did a fantastic job transitioning the atrium space from reception decor to ceremony and back to reception again. Although I would have loved to take advantage of the beautiful garden, I am beyond pleased with how the ceremony turned out. So many people commented on how gorgeous it was despite the rain. All of the grounds are so beautiful which also makes for some amazing photo ops. I highly reccommend for your wedding space! One helpful hint, book this venue ASAP as it fills up VERY quickly.

Its a beautiful place to get married. All my guests loved it. It's so beautiful and I couldn't have asked for a better place to get married.

My husband and I chose this venue because it is stunningly beautiful and located on an equestrian property. It is very well kept, and made for phenomenal pictures. However, we didn't have very much contact with the representatives of the venue itself; we worked mostly through our caterer, who was amazing (True Cuisine, Wood Dale, IL). When we emailed I was never quite sure who would respond as several people seem to run the same email address. However, everyone was very polite, just not very involved. We also had quite a bit of trouble getting a date early on, as it books fast and they only allow people to actually put a deposit down 18 months in advance. Our date, however was "reserved" by someone who had put their name down before my husband and I were even engaged! We had to adjust to a Friday date that became available to use the venue, though we had originally wanted a Saturday wedding. It was also a bit pricey for the sole purpose of renting out the space, as we paid for all rentals and food separately. However, ultimately it was worth it to have our perfect venue.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Danada House one May 23, 2015. My husband and I agree that it was the perfect venue. We fell in love with the place after visiting in August 2013. We immediately put our name on the waiting list for May 2015 (yes, you really do need to put your name on the list 2 years in advance, especially for a Saturday night wedding). About 18 months before the wedding, we received a call asking us for a deposit to officially book our date. Over the next year and a half the women who run the Danada House (Jill, Kathy, and Laurie) were incredibly sweet, providing us with vendor recommendations and responding to all our questions in a timely manner. On the day of the wedding Laurie was phenomenal, helping the vendors set up, and even helping us pack up our belongings at the end of the night. The venue itself looked beautiful! There was another wedding before ours that day, but we couldn't tell at all; everything was set-up exactly was we discussed. The whole event flowed perfectly, beginning with our ceremony in the west garden, followed by cocktails in the house, and ending with the reception in the atrium. I truly cannot think of a better location to hold a wedding in the western suburbs of Chicago.
