    Absolutely Perfect

    We got married at Meson Sabika in February 2024. Both our ceremony and reception were inside the pavilion, and everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. I was impressed by the events team - everyone was so nice, helpful, and responsive. Day-of service was great, and food was amazing. Multiple guests said it was the best wedding food that they've ever had. We are thrilled to have had our wedding at Meson Sabika and would highly recommend!

    Mesón Sabika's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words! We are so glad to hear that your special day was perfect and it was such a pleasure working with you. We wish you all the best in your future together!

    Amazing wedding reception

    We cannot thank Meson Sabika enough for hosting our wedding reception! From the initial planning process to the big day, Jessica and her team were incredible. The team at Meson Sabika answered all of our questions, went above and beyond to make our day run smoothly, and were just a joy to work with. During the reception, everything was set up perfectly and the food, service, and timing of the whole evening were executed with ease. We are so happy with our decision to get married at Meson Sabika. We would highly highly recommend to all of our friends and family.

    The Perfect Venue

    Having our wedding at Meson Sabika was a dream come true. The venue itself is stunning - both the garden where our ceremony took place and the reception pavilion were the perfect backdrops for our wedding day. Having grown up in Naperville, Meson Sabika was always in the back of my mind for a wedding venue and booking it was the best decision ever.

    The food is of course incredible. But the hospitality and the attention to detail was what really made the day perfect. Jessica and her team made sure everything was taken care of and looked exactly how we wanted it to. My husband and I were checked in on throughout the night and everyone we interacted with was so kind. They made sure we had more than enough food and drinks - they even brought passed apps to us while we were taking family photos.

    I would absolutely recommend Meson Sabika to anyone getting married. Their experience in event planning and customer service is extremely apparent and we really did have the best day ever.

    Wedding Venue

    Had our dream wedding at Meson Sabika this past weekend! The venue was beautiful with the open windows and the garden outside for the ceremony. It was a pleasure working with Jessica. She was really responsive and always responded in a timely manner. Amazing day of coordinator and the day went smoothly with her help. Everyone loved the food as well. Would totally recommend Meson Sabika to everyone who is researching about venues!

    Not like any other vendor

    So many things. First off it’s beautiful. Second, food quality at scale can’t be matched (we were super picky with food).

    Enough space for tables, live band, and other stations like our candy table, merch table, our unique guest table and our hall of fame/dates.

    From an alcohol stand point. Man do they pour! They were not stingy with the booze. The hors d’oeuvres were amazing. Everyone had a favorite. Our favorite was the bacon dates.Then came the tapas, and then dinner. No one is going to leave hungry (one of the biggest faults in wedding planning)

    Incredible Wedding Experience

    I can not rave enough about the experience my husband and I had on our special day! First of all the pavilion is absolutely stunning. The ambiance there is magical. The lead event coordinator, Jessica, was totally on top of everything. She kept me calm and collected on a very important day. For that I’m forever grateful!

    The Only Choice!

    The decision to have our wedding at Meson Sabika came down to two critical factors, food and atmosphere. After visiting the pavilion, we knew this was the exact feel and experience we’d want our guests to have in attending our special day. And the establishment’s reputation with food is nothing shy of outstanding. After our tour visit, the team generously set us up with a dinner reservation that evening to try various tapas dishes. This was a kind gesture on their behalf, and certainly left a mark on the type of character we’d want any guest to experience at our reception. After that dinner, it was very apparent Meson Sabika was our only choice.

    This only covers a higher level overview of selecting the venue. The team at Meson Sabika, led by Jessica, deserves absolute praise. Without explaining their involvement, their work goes unseen and unread. They helped us every step of the way from when we first confirmed our date and time to the moment we left after the reception ended. Their communication, care, detailed focus, and approach shined as we inched closer and closer to the big day. Their brochure and contract leave everything flat out on the line, with no issues or misleading language. That comfort carried into a few additional visits we made when we ran into some tough decisions on selecting tapas for dinner. Each visit had the same quality experience, again, ensuring the decision we initially made was the absolute right one.

    The big day was a walk in the park. Jessica and team checked on both of us to ensure we were okay or needed absolutely anything throughout the evening. The serving staff was prompt in refilling water, cleaning tables for the tapas, providing efficient bar service, and ensuring a flawless experience for everyone in attendance. It brings such warmth in our hearts to reflect on this process with Meson Sabika, and we give them the highest marks in all categories as a vendor, partner, event space, and most importantly customer experience – start to finish. Thank you again for everything.

    Dream Wedding!

    Meson Sabika was the absolute best venue for our ceremony and reception! We got to work with Jessica, who helped us with the venue tour and the food tasting, as well as working with our coordinator for the logistics of our wedding day. Our coordinators were very pleased with the service they received from Meson Sabika and said they were accommodating and very easy to work with. The venue is incredible and our guests can't stop talking about how good the food was. The drinks were flowing with excellent bartending and wait staff, and overall, we and our guests had the best time. Numerous people told us "this is the best wedding I've ever been to," citing the venue location, food and drink quality, and overall atmosphere as the reason why they had such an awesome time. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day or venue.

    Effortless Wedding At Meson Sabika

    Meson Sabika is a wonderful place to have a wedding!  My husband and I chose this venue because of the unique setting on the grounds of a historic mansion, and their longtime experience of hosting weddings would hopefully make it less work for us... and it was!   They have it down to a science over there.  We worked with Jessica and Suzanne and they were responsive to emails and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Their attitudes on the wedding day were upbeat and positive and created a really relaxing environment.  Anka, the banquet captain, kept everything effortlessly running smoothly. 

    When I think about the actual day, there was nothing I had to worry about and was able to just relax and enjoy the day. We had our ceremony in the Pradel Garden and it was so convenient for our guests to simply stroll over to the nearby Pavilion for the start of cocktail hour. Food and drinks were an area of importance to us and Meson Sabika stands out there as well.  There are a variety of menu plans.  You can do a traditional menu, a tapas menu, or a combination of both, which is what we did.  We had so many compliments on the food!  The bartenders kept the bar moving and there were never any lines.  

    Also, a note that Meson Sabika has made a lot of cosmetic updates in the last year.  The new floor and chairs modernizes the space and creates a wonderful neutral canvas for couples to bring their own style.  Overall I would recommend this place to any bride looking to have a relaxed experience.

    Best Day Ever!

    Our wedding at Meson Sabika was absolutely perfect. The new flooring in the pavilion is beautiful. Our guests raved about the fast dinner service and delicious food and drink. The event coordinators were very helpful and responsive. They were also super flexible with helping us make our wedding vision come to life and work with us to make changes as needed the week of the wedding.

    Beautiful venue, very easy to work with!

    Beautiful venue! And not only do they have reasonable pre-packaged meal and venue packages, they work with many of the local vendors, such as DJ's, bakery, florists, etc so it was so easy to coordinate with everyone! And not only are, for instance, the seating charts easy to make, when we had guests with special dietary restrictions, they took care of it!

    Absolutely amazing!

    The Mesón Sabika events team helped to create a celebration that we will remember for a lifetime! Jessica was excellent in handling the planning - from meal selections and favorite drinks, to the table layouts and coordination with other vendors. Mesón's owner, Hossien, has an excellent staff who truly made it their mission to please us and our guests. The dining selections were delicious and the Mesón Pavilion was a beautiful setting for our event. Well done!

    Loved this venue

    It was very difficult to plan a wedding during a pandemic however i have to say that Meson and their staff made it so easy and painless. I was of course impressed by the buffet we put out and the way they organized everything made it so easy and perfect for any occasion. I would have any event here!!

    Loved Meson Sabika!

    I highly recommend using Meson Sabika for your wedding! Our day, like many, was affected by COVID. Because of this, we changed our plans for the day many times and Meson Sabika was always able to accommodate them even when we had to postpone the date by over 6 months. We had both our ceremony and reception at Meson Sabika and everything went great. There are so many places outside to take beautiful pictures and the food is incredible. The staff made sure everything ran smoothly and that any guests with food allergies were accommodated. We worked mostly with Natalie and she was amazing. Two weeks before the wedding we went over all the details with her and she thought of things that hadn’t even crossed my mind which helped me feel so much more prepared for the day. The day of our wedding, we had an issue with our shuttle bus and she completely took over and made sure it was handled and told us to just focus on enjoying our day. Meson Sabika is also affordable. I assumed it would be a lot more expensive to have an event there because they have such amazing food, but it really was not. There are also multiple ways to cut costs including their off-season discounts.

    Amazing Venue!

    We were so happy with my daughter’s wedding reception at Meson Sabika! The venue was romantic and elegant. We served appetizers and Tapas for dinner. More than enough food .The room was definitely large enough for a 7 piece band /200 guest in the middle of the room on the dance floor.. We were told from friends who had a wedding there that you needed to put the band in the corner. The staff knows what they are doing and all our guest have been raving about the room, outdoor area and food!

    Beautiful venue, amazing food and a great staff!!!

    I can't begin to say enough amazing things about this venue, its food and it's staff!!! I was supposed to have my wedding here May 22, 2020 but after postponing once we ended up having to cancel and moved our wedding to a different state because of COVID restrictions. Long story short: I walked through the entire process of planning a wedding with Meson Sabika and although I couldn't end up having my big day there, I still have so many good things to say about this venue and it’s staff.
    1. The venue in and of itself is beautiful! The pavilion and mansion are gorgeous. I love the outside of the mansion (it would have been stunning for photos). They have little strung lights outside the pavilion for receptions when it gets dark and I thought that was lovely.
    2. The food is incredible!!!!! After studying abroad in Spain for a semester, I know what good Spanish food tastes like- and this is good Spanish food!!! Our tasting was SO fun and my parents and future in-laws were so impressed with the food!! We loved that tapas style was different than your typical wedding meal and our guests would be able to try so many different foods! Even though we can't have our wedding there we DEFINITELY will be going back to eat!! (oh and they also have really really good Sangria :))
    3. The staff went above and beyond. We primarily worked with Katelyn and I cannot say enough great things about her. She knows her stuff!! She was so patient and flexible with us as we worked on our floor layout for the tables and chairs- she had it down to a science! I was most impressed with how Katelyn handled all of the COVID stress of rescheduling tons of weddings and dealing with frantic brides:) She handled every phone call with patience, grace and kindness. She was so good at communicating with us and always kept us up to date on changes/openings in the schedule as we worked on postponing our wedding. Ultimately, after almost 10 months of working with Katelyn/Meson Sabika we had to cancel our wedding at Meson because we decided to move it to a different state in order to have more people in attendance. The most impressive part of Meson Sabika was their understanding and kindness when we had to end up canceling. They were so gracious to us and it just made us love them all the more! Katelyn was so understanding and kind through it all!!
    All you brides looking for a unique and beautiful venue with AMAZING food and a great staff to work with- please book here!! I wish more than ever I could have had my day here- but the least I can do is encourage you to!!!!

    January wedding

    We loved our wedding experience at Mesón Sabika! Everyone said the food was fantastic, the servers were attentive and the staff was very responsive to our requests. We did a brunch reception on a Sunday morning that we and our guests truly enjoyed.
