When looking for engagement party locations in the Chicago suburbs, Danada House online reviews describe its generous staff, lush landscapes and picturesque views. It is often recognized as one of the top wedding engagement party locations on the WeddingWire Network of sites, which includes leading wedding sites such as WeddingWire, Project Wedding, Brides.com, Martha Stewart Weddings and Weddingbee. Hosting an engagement party at Danada House is a step back in time without stepping too far away from modern convenience.
Built in 1939 by Ada and Daniel F. Rice, the white brick home was once used by the couple for lavish parties and maintains the spirit of that welcoming hospitality today. The home and the 780 surrounding acres it sits on, including its out buildings and a 23-stall Kentucky style stable, was sold to the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County in 1980. Prior to the sale, the facility was also the home farm of Lucky Debonair, the 1965 Kentucky Derby winner.
Along with a deep history, Danada House also boasts one of the most beautiful views available to an outdoor bridal shower location near Chicago. 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 the beautiful indigenous wildlife of Illinois including deer, waterfowl, herons, foxes and grassland birds currently protected by the Forest Preserve District.
