I had my wedding at the Meridian, and everything was perfect! The room was set up better than I had anticipated, and the food was fantastic! Joyce was great in helping us create and implement our vision and answering our many questions that we had. For the price you pay, you really can't find a better deal anywhere else!

Haley Vitucci(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-06-2022 We got married at Meridian banquets on 6/25/22 and worked with Tina. We LOVED the Meridian and everything went perfectly. From the very beginning, Tina was patient and very explanatory of the entire process. She openly discussed pricing, different package options, and answered every one of ours and our parents questions. She was communicative throughout the planning process of the timeline and what needed to be done and always offered advice when asked. She made the process seem fun and exciting and never a hassle or stressful. Prior to the wedding, we scheduled a tasting that we were able to bring our parents to and they made it so fun and celebratory.The week prior to the wedding, we dropped all of our wedding items off during our final meeting. They had everything set up as asked on the day of and at the end of the night had everything we needed to take home in a box packed up for us. They didn't miss a beat on one thing. Tina was more than excited to have us pop in a few times throughout the planning process to look around the venue again, which we really appreciated!The day of the wedding, everything went exactly as planned. Timing was spot on with no delays and Tina was there in at night as well making sure it all ran smoothly! The food was out of this world and exceptional. We had the athenian chicken and filet options with duchess potatoes and julienned vegetables. We also did the ceasar salad and chicken and rice soup. We loved every bite of both entrees and our guests raved to us about the food. We took a few of the extra entrees home and have been savoring every last bite! They were incredibly accommodating for allergies and special requests.The room looked gorgeous and was a fairytale wedding. We loved the twinkle backdrop and the set up of the GIANT sweets table on display. We were so happy we got the largest room (room A) because of the extra room for seating and larger dance floor. It also provided 2 open bars so there was never a line at the bar!I would recommend the Meridian as a wedding venue to any family or friend. We had a phenomenal experience and are so thankful to the whole team, especially Tina! Reviewed on 13-07-2022
Kelsey Olenski(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-01-2022 We got married at the Meridian this past January and the venue was absolutely beautiful. Our guests still talk about how beautiful our ballroom was, and how good the food was! We worked with Tina throughout the planning process, and she was WONDERFUL! Planning a wedding can be so stressful, but Tina made it so easy. She was so sweet and so flexible. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and we cannot thank everyone at The Meridian enough!

Abby Dupee(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-12-2021 Meridian Banquets more than accommodated our wishes and needs all throughout our wedding planning experience, allowing us to customize and personalize our event to our liking and within the bounds of what was feasible for them. The eventual reception was ornately decorated and elegantly lit, with some truly delicious food that every guest couldn't speak more highly of. Really impressed us in every way!!!

Lina Al-Chaar(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-08-2020 This is truly the last place you want to entrust your big day to...we reached out to this banquet in summer 2019, they seemed to be reasonable and the front desk people were very friendly. So we booked a date in august 2020 for our wedding and paid a deposit. Then the pandemic took over and made it impossible for us to have the celebration we want, so we requested to have our deposit back, but the management refused to return phone calls and only communicated with us by email, refusing adamantly to return any portion of our deposit. Despite the fact that they can’t host the minimum number of guests we agreed on according to state law to maintain social distancing.They were not even able to keep their end of the contract, but they still refused to return money they received for services they couldn’t provide... I have never dealt with a business so unreliable and immoral. Reviewed on 01-02-2021

Kimberly Fennell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-02-2020 My husband and I had our reception at Meridian Banquets. We fell in love with the venue after our walkthrough. We loved how fancy the lobby and banquet rooms were and they have an option for wall twinkle lights which was a big hit for us and our guests. Several of our guests including myself are gluten-free and Meridian was able to have the dinner be entirely gluten-free, it was so nice not having to worry! The only thing I wished was that the items at the sweet table could have been adjusted to meet our diet needs because they looked SO good and everyone was talking about them! The food was incredible and the room looked breathtaking! My husband and I were so happy with everything the staff did for us at Meridian!

Julie Redini(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-11-2018 The Meridian did a great job starting 10 months out from our wedding date. Joyce, Janet, Tina and Phil were all great and very thorough and accommodating. Our room looked beautiful and the service was outstanding. The only negative thing I can say is that they charge you full price for vendor meals-which I don't think is fair considering the full price includes your appetizers, table wine, open bar, sweet table and any other add-ons you choose. Every other venue we looked at offered vendor meals at a reduced price considering those factors. But everyone loved the food and the staff was great to work with. Cost wise, they are very competitively- priced and they will work with you if you get married in the off-season (which I highly recommend). Overall it was a great experience! Reviewed on 14-11-2018

Lorilane Chouinard(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-10-2017 We got married October 21, 2017 and had our reception at the Meridian. We were extremely happy with how everything turned out!! I mostly worked with Yola, who was absolutely wonderful to work with. I was a bit indecisive when I was wedding planning. There were so many different accent colors and options to choose from for table linens and uplighting and Yola was so patient and helpful throughout the entire process, spending so much time with me making sure I was happy with everything before the big day. She emailed me about different ideas she has seen from previous wedding receptions or something she saw on Pinterest. On our wedding day, our ballroom was beautifully decorated exactly how we pictured it to be and the staff did all the set up and decorations for us. The sweets table was a big hit with the guests and was so pretty!!! The food was delicious and a very generous portion. Majority of our guests had the chicken marsala with beef sirloin and neither me nor my husband could finish our plates. Nobody left hungry! A few guests had the vegan dinner and they both said they were very impressed with their special ordered dinners. The bar was fully stocked with something for everyone, they even carried Maker's Mark which is not common but so nice, since a lot of our friends drink that. The company they work with for our wedding cake was so easy to deal with and was also delicious. The wait staff was very friendly and and gave excellent service. They have a car port (in case of bad weather) but we were lucky enough to have amazing weather. Some of our more elderly guests loved it, being dropped off and picked up at the front door and not having to walk through the parking lot. Washrooms were kept clean throughout the night. What else can I say? We are so happy we picked the Meridian to have our wedding reception. It was absolutely perfect!!!!! I highly recommend it! Reviewed on 31-10-2017

At Meridian you definitely get deliscious food and service from the beginning to end and the venue and rooms are absolutely stunning. Also, all the servers and staff that worked with us on the day of our wedding reception were so helpful and would go above and beyond to make sure we are satisfied and accommodated.

Nyika Williams(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-05-2017 Meridian hosted my wedding ceremony and reception on 5/12/17. From our very first meeting with Janet in March 2016, we knew that this was our venue. I knew I wanted a place that included many things in their package that would minimize the amount of vendors I had to keep up with. We discussed our budget and they made sure to help us get the most in that budget. For everything we received, we were honestly surprised at how affordable it was. From the moment you walk in and see the fountain you are blown away with how nice the venue is. The rooms are naturally pretty with minimal decor and very spacious. I worked with Janet during the planning process. She met with my husband and I when we decided to move forward and went thru everything with us during that appointment. Janet is amazing and answered all my emails and calls up until the day of the wedding. Every staff member we encountered was polite and helpful. Our wedding was on a Friday. We were able to drop off all of our decor during the final appointment the Tuesday prior. We discussed everything in detail for the day of which was a huge stress relief. During rehearsal we were also able to practice with the sound system. The day of the wedding, the staff was great and made sure everything went perfectly. At least to my knowledge lol. They were amazing with making considerations for my guests with food allergies and checking in with me if they had questions. THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS!! My husband is still talking about the clam chowder lol. The staff packed up extra dinners for us to take with which came in handy following the reception after we got back to the hotel.A plus for us is that we were the only event the night of our wedding. My guests took many pictures by the fountain and photo area without having to wait for guests from another event. I could go on about how great the staff and location was.

I literally brought a tub of props ( pictures, photo to sign, chocolate bars for seating arrangements, 2 sets of champagne flutes cause we couldn't choose just one, and more) a few days before, and crossed my fingers that everything would be where it was supposed to be on my wedding day, and it was! The food, omg the food, it was amazing! People couldn't stop raving about it. We did the filet and chicken vesuvio- we didn't have any complaints, just tons and tons of compliments.

When we met with Kate, she was so personable and showed us everything. She was able to answer all of our questions and understood and evalutated any concerns we had. I already knew the food was delicious so after recieving so much amazing customer service right off the bat, we knew we had to hold our reception at the Meridian. They were so helpful with every bit of the planning. I could send them an email and within a day or so had a response. If they didnt know the answer, the would inform me as such but would investigate and get me an answer. They were so great with providing us flexibility when bringing in some extra decorations. I was a total DIY bride but I did use their centerpieces (just added some stuff). On the day of, everything looked great! The food was delicious and the cake was beautiful! They even let my family bring in sweets to add to the sweet table. Price point was great for everything that was included. It was everything we needed from a reception hall! I only took off some points as we had an issue with one member of their staff but Tina had such amazing customer service and took care of everything.

The attention to detail was intensive and the results were spectacular. Table settings were precise, elegant; guests were welcomed with tasty hors d’oeuvres served by waiters and waitresses. The five-course meal was spaced out to allow for a casual culinary experience, bartenders cordially served up drinks to match everyone’s tastes. Management allowed us to bring in homemade Polish, Mexican, and Armenian pastries which were displayed on a show-stopping sweet table. Our manager of the night, Kate, tended to our every request during the evening. We worried about nothing! Meridian took care of us like family.

Lisa Mejorada(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-09-2015 We had our dream wedding at the Meridian. Tina, our event coordinator, was the absolute best. From the time we met her until the day of our wedding, she was there to answer our questions and address our concerns. We met with her several times throughout the process because our wedding plans, including the count, changed drastically from the initial meeting we had with her. We were concerned with 3 other wedding going on that day if she would have the staff capacity to handle the changes, but she assured us that it will all work out just fine. And she was completely right. I was floored when the doors opened for the first time and I saw the room set up. It was beyond my expectations. Our guest list was 450+ and service was absolutely flawless. No running out of hors d'oeuvres, no complaints of slow service at the bar, and there were no complaints of the food that I heard of. We decided to offer the choice entree for our guests (I know, crazy), and I was concerned that there would be a mix up along the way, but as far as I was aware, everyone got the meal they requested for. We had the filet, chicken marsala, and the chilean sea bass. Of the three, I highly recommend the chilean sea bass. The have the capacity to host 4 weddings at the same time, but you would never know it. Each room is a separate room - there are no partitions, so you won't hear the wedding next door. Each room has a high ceiling and a a real bar, not a set up one with tables surrounding the bartender. We had minimal decorations, but the place is so beautiful, that you really don't need too much. I have nothing but good praises for the Meridian. If you're planning a wedding, I highly recommend setting up a meeting with the event coordinators. You'll fall in love with the place like I did, Reviewed on 24-11-2015

It absolutely exceeded my expectations! the hall staff was beyond accomendating throughout the entire planning process and made us feel right at home when we had a thousand crazy questions or when we brought in tons of stuff to set up the week of our wedding. they made sure to come and see us personally before our reception started and again at the end of the night.

I really loved the atmosphere of the Meridian but the Representative that did the walk through was very rude. Not a very good first impression. Reviewed on 02-03-2015
Lauren Blane(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-07-2013 Our reception was everything we dreamed it would be, down to the last detail! Our guests were raving about the space all night, and for many months after. Staff was very attentive and made sure everything was exactly what we wanted. Food was delicious, and there was another wedding across the hall that we didn't even notice! Staff was willing to work with us and open to working with our budget. Five stars! Reviewed on 10-11-2014
Jennifer Marian(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-09-2014 I have had a great experience working with the folks at the Meridian for my wedding September 2014.

Dana Rohde(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-04-2014 We had the best experience ever here! The staff were beyond helpful from start to finish. The planning was easy. Janey took all the stress of organizing our room off my hands. When our big day came, the room was everything we ever dreamed of and more. Classic romance from Beauty and the Beast with a hint of country and it was all tied in beautifully! Reviewed on 11-05-2014
Jennifer Bailey(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-03-2014 The staff is very helpful and accommodating to your needs. The bakery they use for the cake definitely needs to learn customer service skills and had our cake all wrong. I suggest many follow up calls to ensure they understand your order. Great food!

Andrea Winter(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-06-2013 Love the venue, it's very beautiful. The food was great. I received so many compliments from my guests on how great it was. The wedding planner was so friendly and helpful before the wedding; however on the day of it took 45 min to find anyone to help us when we arrived and it was so upsetting! Reviewed on 11-08-2013
Kaitlin Giammarino(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-06-2013 I saw MB in a Knot magazine and decided to check it out. First and only place I ended up seeing. It used to be an old movie theatre, so the rooms are huge. The lobby is beautiful and they have a brand new fountain. My mom and I met with Joyce. She was so sweet... like a second mom. We walked around and saw all of the rooms. We wanted to have the ceremony and reception there, but in different rooms. The ceremony room is large, but kind of ugly. We ended up having Elegant Event Lighting drape and light the room. The reception rooms are all large and the room we chose (E) holds around 180. The open bar is top shelf! The man and I hadn't set a specific date yet, but we knew we wanted early June. When Joyce and I sat down to discuss dates, I casually threw out June 1 as an option. Surprisingly, both rooms were available! I put a temporary hold on the rooms and called the man that night (he was currently stationed in North Carolina). He said sure, so I went back a few days later to put down a deposit.\r\rWent for our tasting in January and the food was FANTASTIC! The portions are HUGE! We went with the combo plate (prime rib and athenian chicken) with asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes. Our cake and sweet table came with our package, as well as top shelf open bar.\r\rThe ceremony and reception went beautifully! Everyone was so nice and helpful. All of my guests were thrilled. It was well priced and a great value! Reviewed on 18-06-2013
Kathryn Kostich(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-05-2013 When picking a reception hall, this is where most of your money goes so you want some place that's big, accesible, and with good food! Meridian Banquets is the place!\r\rI had some issues in the beginning when my coordinator suddenly quit. No one informed me and I was sending emails to someone who did not work there anymore, but I was never receiving return mail-so I just assumed I was falling through the cracks. Then one day I got a phone call from a new coordinator asking questions and I was finally informed that I no longer had the same coordinator. There were some hiccups along the way with my new coordinator-to the point where I had to sit down with my family, the coordinator, and the manager. From there on out, there were no more problems.\r\rThe day of the wedding was the most perfect day. The head server was Maria and she was wonderful! Everything was perfect from the beautiful lighting, to the decorations, to the most delicious, hot food. I did not have one complaint about the food-it was wonderful!\r\rThere were 2 other parties going on that night, but you wouldn't know it since the banquet hall is large and spacious with enough bathrooms.\r\rI would recommend this reception hall to anyone!

Julie Schmidtke(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-10-2012 After despairing that I'd never find a place for my 80+ person wedding that was within my budget, I set up an appointment with Joyce at the Meridian. They're willing to work with you, customize their packages, and are with you every step of the way. Planning my wedding from out of the country, they were quick to respond to emails, and always remembered us when we showed up unexpectedly. The food was really above grade for banquet hall food, the only complaint I head from my guests was that it was too much! The place was full of weddings that night, but we never heard them, every room is soundproof as well as beautiful. Future brides, please..call Joyce or Tina..you won't be sorry.

Heather Jonasson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-07-2012 My husband and I choose the Meridian for our wedding because of the location. However, the venue had so much more to offer than just a convenient locale. We worked with Tina, who was very patient with us during the planning process and was always very informative about our options and suggestions for how to incorporate our ideas into the day. She worked with us every detail until we were 100% satisfied with our decisions and was always available via email or phone when we had questions. The day of the event went flawlessly. The food was incredible...from the soup, the salad, the main entrees, and the sweet table. Everything was served professionally and the taste was perfect! Many guests commented about how this was \"actually good wedding food\". The layout of the room accommodated all of our guests without feeling like there was tight space. The staff and bartenders at the Meridian executed our event perfectly and exceded our expectations. I would recommend this venue to any bride and groom looking to get married in the Chicago suburbs. It is a great value for the cost and you will not be disappointed...it will make all of your wedding dreams come true! Reviewed on 16-09-2012
