Mesón Sabika Reviews

This was my dream venue! The event team was terrific and was always responsive to any questions I had. It truly felt like I had my own personal wedding planner. (Thanks, Jessica!!) The day of the event was so smooth. We had our wedding there as well, and the transition from the wedding to the cocktail hour and reception was seamless. Guests loved everything from the appetizers during the cocktail hour, tapas and plated dinner, dessert table, and late night snacks. No one went home hungry!! The pavilion room was gorgeous with all the holiday light outside on the pillars and bushes. It was a perfect day!

We had an amazing experience having our wedding at Meson Sabika! The space is absolutely beautiful and elegant, exactly what we were looking for in a venue. Jessica, Brianna, and Emily were all great to work with, they were very communicative and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. All our guests raved about the food, drinks and venue space! Highly recommend!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Meson Sabika! We had our wedding reception in the pavilion this past June and it was the most perfect day. From the very beginning when booking Meson Sabika, the communication with the event team was easy and efficient. Jessica, Brianna, and Emily were all wonderful to work with and helped make sure everything was ready for us the day of and the weeks leading up to our wedding day. Guests have shared that the venue and grounds were beautiful and the food was great!

We had our wedding on Saturday, June 15th, 2024, and were absolutely blown away from start to finish with Mesòn Sabika’s preparation and execution for all aspects of our wedding. Aside from the venue being stunning, the service was outstanding and their execution of all aspects, especially the food was unparalleled. We got compliments from several guests saying it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. Jessica was so helpful with planning and coordinating our event to make it a seamless experience. We’re forever grateful to Mesòn Sabika for making it our best day ever! We’re excited for our next dinner at Mesòn Sabika and hope to attend someone else’s wedding there in the future! 100/10 recommend Mesòn Sabika as a wedding venue!

Cannot say ENOUGH positive things about Meson Sabika! We had our wedding reception with them in early May 2024 and their events team were some of the most responsive, responsible, and nice people to work with. I want to especially shout-out Brianna on the team, she was always on top of everything and helped ease so many of my nerves (she always responded to my emails within 24 hrs, but usually it was more like within the hour). The team listened and created our vision perfectly. Plus THE FOOD! I have never been to a wedding where I heard so many people compliment the food, it was truly the star of the show. It has always been my dream to have a wedding with good (and non-traditional) food, and the tapas at Meson Sabika were absolutely delicious. They also took great care of our other delivered details (cake, flowers, guestbook, etc) so I didn't have to worry about any issues on our wedding day. The entire staff during the wedding were a pleasure to speak to and everyone was very professional. For brides who also don't care TOO much about the little details, Meson Sabika has their own table numbers, centerpieces, cake cutter, easel, etc that you are able to use which helped cut costs on those smaller things. I would highly recommend Meson Sabika for your next event, the Pavilion is so beautiful and it really was a perfect evening. My husband and I are already planning to go back to eat there just because we can't stop thinking about the food!

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.

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.  

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!

Words cannot explain how amazing, beautiful and perfect our wedding was at Meson Sabika. We got married in August on the front yard and it was stunning! We keep hearing how special our wedding was and how spectacular the venue was. And the food..... it was outstanding! Meson Sabika gained many more new patrons just from the new people that we introduced to this wonderful restaurant. Katie and Nick were very helpful and the “day of” assistant Anka was fantastic. The room was set up perfectly and the servers were fantastic. We honestly could not say enough about our wedding at Meson Sabika. It was everything we could have ever dreamt of and more. The chandeliers light up the pavilion so perfectly. The grounds of Meson Sabika are so perfect for photographs also. There are so many options with all the beautiful backdrops in and around Meson Sabika. Thank you for making our wedding dreams come true! We can’t wait to go back for years to come!

We received a lot of compliments from our guests. They said our wedding was spectacular. Everyone loved every detail, from the food, the service and of course we heard many comments about the beautiful gardens and the rooms in the mansion. The place is so unique and beautiful that the photographer could take very romantic pictures. Don't hesitate a minute, Meson is the perfect place to host your wedding.

We had an incredible experience planning our wedding at Meson Sabika. From the first time we met with Julie up until the day of the wedding, we enjoyed every moment. Julie and Katie were extremely helpful every step of the way, constantly answering my dozens of random emails and questions, and giving me great advice when I needed it. Julie was even there at the beginning of the our reception to make sure everything was good for us. They were so willing to work with us and make sure we stuck to the budget we were working with. You can definitely have an affordable yet gorgeous wedding here. Our guests have still not stopped talking about how beautiful the venue was, how delicious the food was, and how friendly the staff was. The outside of the building is just stunning-- the landscaping all around was the perfect setting for our photos in between. The day was absolutely perfect, and we are so happy we chose Meson Sabika. I wish we could relive the day over again! Thanks so much to Julie and Katie!!

Meson Sabika was exceptional. We chose the place because of the Tapas provided. We love Tapas, and from the moment we chose, we already knew it would be the place to get married. We already had a day of coordinator, Karolina Warren, and Meson provided a coordinator themselves. It was amazing. The food was great, and the bar service was also great for the guests. I would do it all over again. We also had our ceremony outside and the day was PERFECT! Only SUN. GREAT PLACE! and we will be going back for dinner too!!!! LOVED IT.

I cannot say enough about Meson Sabika's services for both my ceremony and reception on July 23rd, 2011. I booked the venue over a year in advance, and was thrilled with the responsiveness and attention to detail that they provided me.

The venue is GORGEOUS and the food is even better! I still have guests raving about how wonderful my wedding was. The staff on the big day could not do enough for me, and were constantly taking charge of the little things to make the day perfect.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Meson Sabika, and feel very fortunate that they were my venue!

Meson Sabika is a top choice for a wedding venue. The food, the venue, the staff, the ambiance.... its unmatched and completely wonderful. Our guests had no complaints and everything was perfect for our day. Meson went above and beyond to provide and amazing experience and we would recommend anyone to have their wedding here. Briana was so accommodating and really helped us plan our day. Jessica helped us too with the rehearsal and day of the wedding. We truly appreciated all the Meson staff and felt like we were catered to with our requests.

Had the pleasure of hosting our wedding reception at Meson Sabika. Jessica and her team were the most accommodating people and made sure we had the best experience. Highly recommend using meson Sabika for your wedding everything turned out beautiful.

My daughter and her husband had their wedding reception at Meson Sabika in Naperville, IL in August. The reception was fabulous and exceeded any expectations we had! The ballroom room looked absolutely gorgeous and the food was delicious. We went with the tapas menu and received so many compliments. The entire staff was top notch and so wonderful to work with. The wedding coordinator was amazing too…so accommodating and helpful. I would recommend Meson Sabika 1000%. If they have an open date, book it!

Jessica and her team were GREAT! We had our ceremony outside, our cocktail hour on the patio and the reception in the pavilion. Everything was AMAZING! The food, the dessert and the drinks! One of our guests got out of hand and the team dealt with it discretely and quickly. I was not aware anything happened until another guest told me and I was mortified. The Mesón Sabika team remained professional and did not blame me or my husband for our guests actions. I have nothing but good things to say about this venue and their team!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

My experience at Mesón sabika was nothing short of amazing. It was an absolute dream and we could not hav even more pleased with Jessica and her team. It would not have been possible without them! From the food to the ambiance, Jessica and her team created the most amazing day!!!

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)
