I can't begin to say enough amazing things about this venue, its food and its staff!!! I was supposed to have my wedding here May 22, 2020 but after postponing once we ended up having to cancel and move 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. 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 the 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!! 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!!!!

our wedding from a distance, but Katelyn, Katie, and Nic made it SO easy it was as if we were there. Oh my gosh don’t even get me started on the food. AH-mazing. Our guests continue to rave about their dishes. Then the day of was flawless...minus that sideways hail storm which occurred at 2 pm...right as we were supposed to do our first look at Meson Sabika. I will never forget Katie telling me it was too late to rearrange the reception hall and that we would move the ceremony to the dance floor. I remember the tears welling up and me shaking my head no. In that moment, Katie was my friend and not just staff. Before I could say anything she said to not worry and that the staff would make it work so we could have the ceremony inside by the beautiful windows instead of the dance floor. THEY ARE AMAZING. The rain blew through, the sun came out for cocktail hour, and no on even noticed the staff as the transitioned the floor yet again for the reception. I cannot say enough about Meson Sabika. Booking with them ensures that you will have the most perfect day. Thank you for everything!!!!

We have all heard horror stories about bad venues- the team at MS went above and beyond, and day of, I knew I could count on them. Highly recommended!

working with primarily Julie Bell who was fantastic but left the position well in advance of our date. From there I worked closely with Katelyn Smith, Katie Williams, and Nick Vera who all manage weddings/events and the transition was so seamless. They are all experts at what they do and know how to make your dream wedding into a reality. During our final details appointment they asked me so many questions I hadn’t even thought of and truly helped make our wedding into the best day ever. I have so many good things to say about everyone we worked with at Meson Sabika. I sent hundreds of emails in the course of our planning process and I got a quick response back every time. We had a budget and decided to have our wedding during off season to help with some of the cost. There is a minimum and everyone worked with us to stay as close to that and as close to our budget as possible by offering tons of different options. Thank you so much Meson Sabika for helping us have the perfect wedding day! Katelyn, Katie and Nick you are all so amazing. Thank you so much for everything! You helped transform our wedding dreams into a reality that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

ption there. The pavillion and grounds are beautiful and made a lovely backdrop for pictures and for the evening. The pavillion and surrounding areas are already so gorgeous you barely need any additional decorations. The food was delicious and just as high quality made for 250 as it is when you dine at the restaurant. Our family and friends are STILL talking about how good the food was and how many options we had. Many people have told me it's the best food they've ever had at a wedding. The late night taco bar was a huge hit!! It was also one of the most financially friendly places we looked at, which made the whole experience even better! Julie is/was/forever shall be AMAZING!! She answered all of my emails/questions/calls promptly and was so helpful and reassuring throughout the whole process. Her attitude is amazing and it was more like working with a friend who is genuinely invested in making sure the day is perfect. She even showed up and guest bar tended for a bit at our wedding! The quality service absolutely extends beyond your wedding day and really helps show how much Meson Sabika appreciates the people who choose to celebrate their weddings there. My husband and I received a gift certificate in the mail several months later inviting us to celebrate our first anniversary at Meson Sabika and when we went there for Valentine's Day we ran into Julie (and several other recently married Meson Sabika couples!) and she gave us our first drinks complimentary. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I couldn't have asked for a better wedding or venue. I would HIGHLY recommend Meson Sabika for an absolutely incredible wedding experience that you and your guests will be talking about for a long time to come.

e sides were perfect and because of the date (12-31) there were still white lights outside in the trees, making for the perfect ambiance. As soon as we got engaged, on 12-31-15, I started looking for unique venues that were available on 12-31-16 since I knew I wanted to get married on New Year's Eve. When we went to visit the venue on 1-9-16, we booked on the spot. Not only is it more reasonably priced than anywhere else in the Chicagoland area, but we knew after meeting with Julie that day, that she was someone we could spend the next year planning with. Like all other reviews have said, Julie and Katie respond extremely promptly to every email sent. Sometimes within minutes and even on the weekends! I felt like I asked a million questions and every single time, they answered pleasantly and promptly. We met with Julie a few weeks before the wedding to talk through details and we felt that she was extremely thorough and on top of everything. We had hired a day of coordinator and the day of the wedding, everything went so smoothly we never even had to worry about a thing. The head banquet person had met with Julie and was aware of all of the specific things about our day. We were able to change our head count even a few days before the wedding when an additional guest was added. The food was awesome and we had so many compliments since it was not your typical chicken or beef meal that you usually get at a wedding. We chose the tapas menu, but added and substituted a few things without a problem. The banquet staff was fabulous and kind to us and all of our guests. It was the perfect place to have a wedding and the perfect place to ring in the new year. We appreciate everything that every employee did to make our day perfect!

to! I think the excellent food had a lot to do with it! My favorite thing about having my wedding in the Pavilion was the big open windows. So many banquet halls feel like dark dank caves, but the Pavilion has large windows through which you could see trees and the garden. It really makes a huge difference. Our ceremony was in the garden just east of the Mansion, and it was even more beautiful than I had pictured. The grounds are so gorgeous, and made for great pictures! As for the planning process, Katie and Julie were super helpful the entire time. They always got back to me quickly and answered my questions thoroughly. Meeting with them was always a delight, and they made the planning process EASY and enjoyable. The ceremony and reception both ran very smoothly. I do not have one critique! Our wedding was a little unique in that we had several small children in attendance, about 10 between the ages of 1 and 12. They have great children's menu options, and were willing to let me use the bridal ready room as the "kids" room. I was so happy that they were so accommodating to our friend's kids. They are special to us, and we wanted them treated well! Other venues are not so kid-friendly, but Meson Sabika was wonderful to us and our little guys :)

We were just married less than 3 weeks ago - and had our reception at Meson Sabika. I honestly do not even know where to begin, to sing our praises for not only Meson Sabika itself (it is such a gorgeous venue!) but for the team at Meson Sabika...
as well. While we did not have wedding planners for our big dey (my husband and I were responsible for all our wedding planning and budgets), I swear that the service that Meson Sabika provided us, made us FEEL like we had not just 1, but 2 wedding planners on our side! From the first day we met with the team, to tour the Pavillion, we were treated with such care. No detail was too small and they anticipated every single one of our questions and concerns. The team was incredibly professional but also kind, approachable, saavy, and sweet! It was quickly apparent that we were not just a number to Meson Sabika, but that we were like family. The reception itself was flawless. All our plans were executed exactly as we discussed. One great thing about Meson Sabika is they ask a lot of questions (questions we never even thought to ask) which made us feel very taken care of. And after asking questions, they made schedules, charts, etc. to make our plans crystal-clear. For a bride trying to juggle it all - that was an incredible service! Apart from the planning aspect, the venue is gorgeous with large chandeliers from the ceiling and huge windows wrapping around the pavilion. The food (the initial reason we choose Meson Sabika) was delicious (many guests have reached out to us since the wedding to say the food they had was the best food they have ever had at a wedding). We choose the "Tapas-Traditional" option - with a cocktail hour followed by tapas served (in place of appetizers or a salad), then entrees to follow. Overall, it was an incredible experience working with Meson Sabika. And if we had to plan a wedding all over again (thank goodness we don't, lol), we'd pick Meson Sabika in a second!

The ladies are so attentive, replied to emails promptly and always very friendly, and paid attention to every detail of our wedding reception. They really know how to run the show over there, and we were never left feeling worried about how things would turn out. The food was simply amazing, and our guests were so pleasantly surprised to have a really good meal at a wedding reception. The Pavillion is just stunning. We had 185 guests, and the ambiance was still very intimate because we weren't sharing the space with anyone else. The grounds are also beautiful, and we were able to get some amazing photos by their gorgeous cherry blossom tree. The owner of the restaurant also took the time to stop by and make sure we were well taken care of on the wedding day which we really appreciated. The best part of all of this was that our guests genuinely had a fantastic time - the venue is easy to locate, parking lot is on site, there is a gorgeous patio that was private to us for our guests to use during the cocktail hour and reception. You will absolutely not get this experience anywhere else in the western suburbs or the city. Meson Sabika truly is a gem and we are so happy we booked with them!

hicken and soup and a salad (which probably has like a raspberry vinaigrette on it cause that's totally original) like you've had at the last 6 weddings you've been to, this is the ONLY way to go. From the first meeting with the coordinator Meson was very helpful and made the process very easy. No lagging or lack of communication. All our questions and concerns (will there be enough food??) were handled right away and the whole planning phase was very very easy. Pricing is equal to if not better than what you get for your standard wedding meals, but with much much more memorable food. We used the pavilion for our ceremony/reception as the mansion would have been too small for our needs (185 people). The pavilion is beautiful and located right next to the mansion. It's windows all the way around that let in so much light that it makes the space even nicer. We had planned on having the ceremony in the courtyard out front, but due to weather that wasn't possible. Our ceremony was held inside the pavilion instead and it was very nice. The tables had been moved to the side to allow for seating and after the ceremony the staff had the dining reset in no time flat. No guests were inconvenienced, there was no standing around waiting, no confusion whatsoever. We had 185 people and no one was shoved around or crowded while waiting for the change over. Dinner was, as always, amazing. A lot of the people we know don't even know what tapas is or what Spanish food is like. This was not a problem. All night long and everyone we've spoken to afterward have all raved about the food. A family member who's paid for 3 (not cheap) weddings in the last 6 years said multiple times to several people "Best food I've ever had at a wedding". That was our sentiment as well. There was a minor issue with bar closing time toward the end of the night, but that was swiftly corrected. The experience was from start to finish amazing. Everyone involved in the planning and everyone at the ceremony/reception were extremely helpful. Having your wedding at Meson is one that is guaranteed to be remembered by you and your guests for a very long time.

ed $10 off per plate because of it (I know some venues that wouldn't do that). As another example, they had another rule that there had to be 10 people per table, but they gladly changed it to 9 because I had a smaller wedding and wanted the room to be filled up more nicely. In general, they really allow you to personalize the wedding to make it fit your budget and needs. Now, the day of the wedding started off disastrously. I was doing all my own centerpieces and so the agreement LISTED ON OUR CONTRACT was that I would show up at 11am for set up. I showed up at 11am to find that the people from the previous night's wedding had not picked up their stuff, and that the event coordinator of the day (NOT the one I'd been working with the whole past year, by the way) had not even called the family! I would have expected that if the family had said they would be there at 10am to pick up their belongings and by 10:30 they hadn't showed up, the event coordinator would call them up and let them know the next party would be there in 30 mins to set up their stuff! There were over 40 huge vases filled with flowers, about 100 wedding favors, and five tables FILLED with stuff (the wedding before was a 300 person affair). They left huge boxes filled with decorations (it was military wedding, so lots of large posters about guns/military), the carpet was filthy, there were wrappers from the candy bar (which was still set up) all over the place. The bathroom was disgusting and the event coordinator was cold and unhelpful. So, even though I had VERY limited time to set up the centerpieces with my bridal party (11-1 so that I could go home and get ready), I spent over an hour cleaning up the previous wedding! This was NOT how I wanted my wedding day to start out. They had 1 employee helping us carry everything, but that's IT. The coordinator had completely disappeared and was barely available for questions or concerns (and did not help with picking up the wedding either). In response to the extreme dirtiness of the place, they assured me that they would clean the venue at 2pm so that it was "fresh" for the reception and I said fine. But, when I showed up at 4:30 for pictures, the bridal suite was STILL dirty (including poop stains on the toilet which I had specifically requested they clean when I came in earlier). As guests arrived, the event captain was still rushing around trying to light the candles. It was truly an awful start, but to be fair, the rest of the event went by flawlessly. Our event captain was extremely helpful, the guys at the drink bar were hilarious and so helpful. Best of all, the food was incredible and all of my guests were completely satisfied with their meal. Despite the disaster start, by the way, they did not take anything off of our bill which was disappointing. In the future, I hope that Meson Sabika will work on increasing communication among their event coordinators to ensure that these communication failures do not happen again. It definitely put a damper on the day to have it start off in crisis-intervention mode.

We had dinner with him about two months after the wedding and he told us there were changes in the management staff already and newly implemented weekly meetings between the event staff, restaurant staff, and the owner. There are also steps in place now to make sure things that happened to us never happen again. I do feel he was sincere about feeling sorry for what we went through and he definitely took measures to make sure it will never happen again. I would recommend them and say this, if there is ever trouble, call the owner, he really does care and he will make sure you are taken care of. My original post: Let me start off with the good: absolutely amazing "day of" service. The bartenders, wait staff, crew, everyone were absolutely top notch. Melanie and Bianca know how to take care of people and deserve a raise. If it weren't for them this place would have gotten 0 stars. The food was also great. Here's is the awful though- every single thing leading up to the wedding was unorganized and a huge headache. They double booked our original date, after taking our money of course. (We had to push our wedding back. And I know that may not be the biggest of deals, but I am in school out of the country and that week actually screwed us a bit. I had to go back to school late.) They couldn't find our contract, all the way up until a month before the wedding. Their responses via e-mail were always late and inconsistent. Once I got two e-mails from two people about the same question I asked, with different answers. They also never remembered anything they had told us before. When I talked to the MANAGER of the events department, someone who should know what is going on, she gave me information I already knew to be wrong, so when I said to her, "No, you already told me differently." She replied she had been out of the office for a few days and had to double check. Really? A few days? That shouldn't matter if you know what has been going on for months in your facility. Information kept changing on us as well. Things we were told were ok at our first meeting later became "well maybe" and then became flat out no's. Which is fine if things can't be done, but tell us that in the first place. The worst was the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding. We had double confirmed everything both in person and via e-mail. We showed up and no one in the restaurant had any clue we were coming, the pavillion which we were PROMISED access to was locked, and we were told we couldn't get in there because it was already set for an event the next morning! No one there cared whatsover and of course, no one from the events department was there. It really made my finace and I feel like we weren't a big enough dollar amount wedding to them for them to care about us. And let me tell you, they are not cheap, not by any means. But because we didn't do any extra special frills or add-ons and were only about a 140 person group, we weren't worth their effort to pay attention to and treat us right. I was truthfully expecting a very poorly put together wedding day and was surprised and unbelievably relieved that it went so smoothly.

me menu changes that happened after we chose our tapas/entrees. Needing gluten free options, he was able to allow us to go back to the original beef tapas recipe we had picked out instead of the new one because he couldn't say for 100% if it was going to be gluten free or not. The ENTIRE meal was gluten free, which was amazing in taste. We had duck, beef, chicken, and veggetarian options...all of which tasted great. As for the before wedding pre-planning, there are a lot of questions they will ask that may seem silly, but be sure to be specific when you answer and what you want, and they'll take great care of you. I will say, however, the place can be kind of pricy after you tack on their tax and gratuity and sales tax AFTER you make you set minimum. This is all in the contact, though, so unless you're not paying attention it should all be pretty much up front and they will answer any questions you have. We chose Meson Sabika because we married in September, outside in the courtyard. They have several different places outside you can choose for the ceremony. In case of rain, they have alternatives in place for that too. We decided to have both our ceremony and reception (in Pavillion) there and it was nice for everyone to just get up and walk over to the Pavillion instead of dealing with driving to another location. There are also several options available for reception areas you can book. They are very busy, so make sure to have everything taken care of to avoid running into other vendors or weddings if you happen to be "sharing" a morning or evening event day. However, David asks all the questions the week of the wedding to make sure "that we can take care of as much as possible without having to bother you" =) He helped us with out timeline and other things we'd totally forgotten about *lol* Post reception, we didn't have to clean up a thing. And they boxed up our sugar cranes and cake topper for us, too. By the end of the night, all we had to do was gather up our friends, gifts, and misc stuff we wanted to keep and they took care of the rest. This was the biggest chunk of our wedding budget, I will admit that. If you have a large wedding or a small one, they can accomidate both.
