The best venue!

I had my 2021 wedding at Dank Haus and would highly recommend it for any event! The website photos do not do this venue justice it is an incredible space. From first inquiry, Monica was incredibly helpful in answering questions and helping set up walkthroughs of the beautiful space. We ended up booking the Marunde Ballroom and Skyline Terrasse for our 120 person wedding but the spaces could accommodate both larger and smaller events. Dank Haus has great flexibility in vendors and we were able to purchase our own liquor which was served by incredible bartenders sourced by Dank Haus. In the weeks leading up to the event, Monica and Charlie let us get early access to the venue for setup and accepted deliveries for us. The day of the event, the provided tables and chairs were set exactly to our specification and Dank Haus staff were on site to ensure our wedding was perfect. While I am not including photos, the beautiful terrace with city views was a wonderful backdrop for photos and the sunset. I highly recommend the Dank Haus for all types of events but especially for Chicago couples looking for an affordable, flexible and beautiful venue

We are still 6 months out from our wedding date, but thus far the DANK Haus team has been incredibly accommodating! Monica is fantastic to work with and has been willing to arrange multiple walkthroughs for me and my fiancé to get to know the space (and to match linen swatches to the Skyline Lounge!). You also can’t beat the value of this space, as it comes with tables & chairs, a bartender (!!!), and even ice all included in the cost!

We just had our wedding there, and it was amazing. I'm so thrilled with our decision! After we got engaged, we naturally started looking at venues. We had reached out to a few, but hadn't heard anything back after a few days. A friend recommended Dank Haus to us, and I'm so glad. We called, Monika answered and said we could come right over and check it out. We live about a 10 min walk from there, so went right over. We liked it right away. The venue itself was beautiful. We wanted something different than the traditional banquet room, and this fit the bill. We also felt very comfortable with Monika. They were also very flexible. We could use any caterer and could even provide our own liquor, to save money. We decided then and there to go with their ballroom. The venue cost was pretty reasonable, from what we'd seen. Throughout the process, Monika was great. Any questions we had, she was always quickly to respond and helpful. I really appreciated that! We were able to load all our stuff in a few days before the wedding, and had help getting it in. The day of, everything seemed to run smoothly as well. Afterwards, we were also able to get help picking stuff up. I highly recommend this place. The price is decent, they are very helpful, and above all else the venue is beautiful.
