We couldn’t have asked for a better catering crew to cover our wedding needs! Kim and her team were incredible. Very friendly, asked all the right questions to take some of the burdens off of us, and they knew exactly what they needed to do. It was perfect and we recommend The Christy for any needs!

The Christy was amazing for our wedding in May 2024. We had originally booked them with a different venue and that venue closed on us unexpectedly. Karen Wilson was so quick to pivot to a new venue that typically doesn’t accept outside catering. Karen connected with the venue to get all of the details they needed and ironed out everything for us to make sure everything ran smoothly and we saved money. I can’t recommend them enough. The food was INCREDIBLE. So many compliments on the food. I highly recommend them for your next event!

I recently worked with the Christy when they catered my wedding in March 2024. My wedding was outdoors so we used there Off-Premise catering service. The week before my wedding, there were issues and concerns with the venue that threw a wrench in my plans for the layout of everything I had planned for months but The Christy was the MVP of the week and wedding day. They worked with me to keep my layout, plans, and wants the same and it was clear their main focus was for me and my husband to have the perfect day of everything we'd envisioned. Even at the reception, they stayed in contact with me or my mom to make sure we had everything we needed, wanted, and if everything was going okay. They even packed a couple to-go boxes of food and dessert for my husband and I to take with us when we left. Working with The Christy made my wedding reception flow and take so much worry off my plate! I can't thank them enough! I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

The Christy Banquet Center in O'Fallon, MO is the place to have your event!! I had my wedding reception here and everything ran so smoothly. From our first time reaching out to see if the venue was available, our consultation, with Ron, to the food tastings was everything!!!! Ron make sure that everything was in place and we had nothing to worry about. We received so many compliments and high praise for the food selection and the open bar. We had outside decorators, DJ, live band, photo booth, cake and gift table all around the room. I would highly recommend this venue. You will not regret one ounce or dollar of your experience!

What I like most about our experience is working directly with the owner...from start to finish "Ron is AWESOME"! He set up the taste prior to us picking our meal, explain the pros and cons of having your wedding and reception at the same place, we had a certain set up for our decorating and all he told me was if you all come in an set up a table take a picture of the table and my staff got it from there(that to me was going above and beyond with customer service). The food was awesome, the banquet center is beautiful, the staff was awesome. I had over 375 guest and Ron got everyone thru the buffet line in less then 30 mins and no one was rushed. Everyone is still talking about the wedding, reception, food, the bar etc. Thanks Ron for making our day amazing!

We had them cater our special one year anniversary celebration at the World's Fair Pavilion. They were very helpful throughout the time with planning for the event and flexible with my husbands and I's busy schedule. The day of the event went very smoothly with the set up of table and chairs, to good waitresses serving and making sure our guest were good. We had a lot of compliments on how good tasting and good quality the food was. We were very pleased!

We have hosted our nonprofit's annual year-end fundraiser at The Christy the last two years, and it has been a great experience! The venue is stunning and Ron is incredibly helpful. Our communication was smooth leading up to the event, and he ensured we had everything we needed for the evening. We highly recommend booking The Christy, you will not be disappointed!

My wife and I used The Christy for a wedding rehearsal dinner held at the STL Carousel. The dinner was for a large wedding party and family: 72 people aged from 2-65. Wow, we couldn't have been happier and more complimentary of The Christy's food quality and server performance! The food was great and the service throughout the evening could not have been better. The evening alternated between 2 areas and the servers were very attentive to our guest's needs. They also were very proactive and accommodating. 5 Stars indeed!

Leading up to our day everything was good. We booked our venue 17 months in advance to make sure everything was on track for our day. We had our tasting, multiple calls and communication and everything was wonderful. We had our final call, and everything was set to go. We showed up the 2 hours early to set up, and no one was there to let us in. Thankfully, the chef was able to let us in so we could quickly set up. A few flukes in between that could be forgiven, but at the end of the reception no last call was called, our DJ was confused when the manager was telling us we had to get out at that moment. I understand staying on time, and leaving at our time, but when you are the bride/groom and have no phone (or last call, called) you have no clue what time it is. My husband and I weren't even allowed our last dance. In our exit pictures the manager literally has her hands full of all of our stuff right behind us in our pictures. All of our decorations were thrown in random boxes by our friends and family to get us out of the hall as fast as we could. I wish we had a better experience, especially since the food was so good, and every experience up until that point was nice. When you pay thousands and thousands of dollars, you expect to have everything you want...even if that means 5 mins over for the MINIMUM of a last dance.

Ron at the Christy is incredible. He and his team are ready and willing to make your event perfect! Our wedding reception was amazing. They put out all the decorations where they should be for us. The food was amazing. Our guests have been raving to us post reception about how great everything was. Ron was present to help out during the event and came to check in and ensure we didn't need anything several times. It was a perfect night and we highly recommend the Christy for all event needs.

My wife and I had both our ceremony and reception at the Christy in O'Fallon MO and we couldn't have been happier. From the beginning Ron made the process easy. He was very helpful and answered all of our and families questions. He remembered the little details, down to the fact that my new mother in law needed a softer chair and had it ready for her. We were able to come in early to set up and decorate and Ron was helpful with all the details. Their food is amazing and all the staff was professional, helpful and friendly with warm smiles. Both me and my new wife highly recommend The Christy, they will make your day perfect.

The Christy Banquet Center is such a beautiful venue. I had my reception here last week, everything was absolutely perfect. The food is very delicious, the venue is nice and spacious, the staff was very friendly and on top of everything to make our night amazing. Ron the owner is very professional. He helped make sure every detail was exactly how and what we wanted. He went around to every table through out the night, greeted all the guests and asked if there was anything him or his staff could do to make sure everyone was having a great time. My family and I can’t get over how PERFECT my reception was. So many of our guests came to me and commented how in awe they were with the place, food, and service. Ron and his staff are truly so amazing and if you’re looking for somewhere to have your reception, or any banquet The Christy Banquet Center is the place to have it. You won’t be disappointed!

Thank you, Bri for the kind words. I do have an amazing staff. You are such a sweetheart. ...

This was the first and only place we toured and fell in love with the BUDGET FRIENDLY all inclusive package ! They include everything besides the cake, DJ, photographer, and officiant. We paid the extra fee for the ceremony room to have both the ceremony and reception at the same place. The decorations included were perfect, we just added our own centerpieces to give it a more personal touch! Amazing communication from Ron and he was always ready to lend a helping hand. The food was also pretty good as well; go to the FREE tastings they host once a month. Only downfall I would say is the ceremony room was a bit smaller which didn’t allow for many pics down the aisle, and the lighting also wasn’t the best. There was also another event going on in the other room, and luckily it didn’t disturb the reception, it did make getting pictures outside in the lobby a bit difficult as well. Overall it was an amazing place for an amazing price and fit perfectly in our budget :)

We held a banquet at The Christy in O'Fallon, MO. It was the easiest part of planning! Our projector didn't work with our laptop and they let us borrow one, saving the day. Then when we forgot a flag, they had one, once again saving the day! Everyone raved about the location and food, we will definitely book there again!

I booked the Christy Banquet Center for my wedding and just booked again in December for my Christmas party. The staff could not be any more helpful and everything I dreamed of was brought to real life. The food was perfect. Tons of options to pick from and we enjoyed everything we put on the menu. The bartenders were something my guests talked about for quite some time. Very outgoing, fun and made the party complete. We cannot wait for our next event to host there!

Ron at The Christy (O'Fallon) is amazing! He made my entire wedding process feel SEAMLESS! Every step there was from the initial venue tour, day of celebration, to the Monday following when we had to come back and collect all of our items (and every moment in-between), Ron made my husband, family, friends, and I feel so welcomed and cared for! He even hand delivered a plate of green beans (nut-free) to one of my family members who had a nut allergy - what a guy! He was also dressed to the nines for our special night! There was a "no stress / anything is possible" vibe and I loved that. Bartenders were awesome, food was delicious, and the facility was very clean! We are very happy with our decision to celebrate here and wouldn't change a thing!

We genuinely cannot say enough positive things about The Christy, Ron, and the entire team. They did everything in their power to give us the absolute best day of our lives in an unbeatable price range. The food was immaculate, our bartenders were so much fun, and we had such an amazing time with the manager, Ron. When I called around to other vendors before booking, it took multiple calls to get through and often times, managers were quick and short- not Ron! He is so extensive, answers punctually, makes sure you understand what you get in each package option, and makes sure you feel loved and supported in every step of your event planning journey. I would recommend this venue to anybody planning an event over and over again!

Such a great reliable vendor for weddings! My wife and I chose The Christy Catering for our wedding in Nov 2022 and it was such an amazing experience with them. Awesome food that was hot and ready for our us and our guests for our wedding day. We had multiple friends and family say the food and dinner service was amazing. Best thing too was we had left over appetizers and miscellaneous food that we got to take home at the end of the night. I’ll glad eat their food reheated for my neat meal! Thanks again Karen and Ron, you guys have an amazing family owned business!

Great staff & Ron was so accommodating when we told him that we only had 6 weeks to plan a wedding! We found a date that fit our children's schedules, being a non-traditional bride & groom planning with fulltime jobs was limited but Ron & staff took good care of our every need! Their facilities worked well for our guests and they were quite content with The Christy's tasty dinner & apps. I recommend them & would definitely use them for corporate events as well.

We had Catering by the Christy cater our wedding at the World's Fair Pavilion in Forest Park and couldn't have been happier with their work. The Pavilion is a blank space so choosing a good caterer was essential! After reading good reviews, we did a taste test with The Christy and decided to go with them. Karen worked with us months before to determine the menu, layout, and all the staffing details. She was very responsive if we had any questions and offered great advice. Catering by the Christy was a great price point and brought in everything for our big day - the tables, chairs, bar, linens, stage, and more. Our guests were very complimentary of the food and service. I would 10/10 recommend Catering by the Christy for your event! They are easy to work with and do a wonderful job. Thank you!

We used The Christy for our wedding catering at the NEO on Locust, and they were absolutely wonderful! Karen helped us with our booking - she was knowledgeable, quick to respond for any questions, and extremely nice. And then Kim ran the show for our big day! She was awesome in guiding us on those finalizing details for the day (from the menu, down to our decor), and she and her team did such a great job with bringing our reception ideas to life. Everyone was courteous and well-organized for the day, and the food was SO delicious! I even had some guests tell me they were still dreaming about how good the food was days later. ;) Thank you so much again for everything!! We loved working with you, and highly recommend you to everyone!!

Hired The Christy to do our catering. The food was great and affordable, and they were super easy to work with! We were able to pick up our silverware a couple days before the wedding so we could have the tables set for the day of the wedding without having to pay extra for them to do it! Really a wonderful team to work with, and I couldn't have asked for better!

Oh my goodness, we simply cannot thank these guys enough for the delicious meal and the flexibility of the crew. They set up in the kitchen area, were so helpful and extraordinarily professional. The food was terrific. Our pregnant guest with a severe food allergy ate the most she has in weeks. Her delight delighted all of us too. Thank you tremendously for taking her safety so seriously. The micro wedding was lovely, topped off by a wonderful meal provided by a skilled crew. The crew chief, whose name I forget, was tremendous as were her assistants. We truly felt “ catered” to. Thanks so much for making all those little details no big deal and lowering the stress level tremendously. First class operation. The communication between the vendor and client was also outstanding. Karen ensured all my questions were answered, made several suggestions we hadn’t thought of and followed through on everything, big and small.

The Christy in Ofallon was beyond perfect for our wedding! The staff was professional, friendly and kind. You could really tell that the staff wanted to be sure we all had a good time. Both bartenders went above and beyond any expectations and were truly amazing. Ron made sure that everything went smoothly and turned out exactly how we wanted it, not to mention how extremely easy and great he is to work with. The dedication to our safety was evident as well. From the hand sanitizing stations and social distancing signs to keeping the dance floor dry (despite all the spilled drinks). I also can not say enough about the food. It was AMAZING. I would 10/10 recommended this venue to anyone who wants to have a good experience planning their wedding.

We used The Christy for their catering services for a wedding and they were fantastic from the tasting all the way to the actual reception! Their staff is easy to deal with and very responsive. We dealt with Karen and she was so nice and very helpful throughout the planning process! During the reception, Kim was in-charge and she was equally as helpful and professional. Our guests all complimented the food and service. Overall, a wonderful experience with The Christy.

We had our 50th Anniversary in O'Fallon, Mo. Ron and his staff bent over backwards to accommodate us at every turn. We live in Southwest Florida so planning an event 1200 miles away was a concern. There were absolutely no concerns what so ever. We highly recommend this venue. I was in the catering business for more than 15 years, so I know of what I speak.

We had our wedding reception at the O'fallon location and we were not disappointed! I don't have a single negative comment about this venue. Ron and his staff do such an amazing job at making everything so perfect. We could not have asked for a better venue and for a better person to work with. The space is absolutely beautiful, the food is amazing and the staff is so friendly and easy to communicate with. I will be using the Christy for any future event needs (and I cannot wait!) Choosing the Christy will be the best and easiest decision you can make when planning a wedding (or any event.) I highly recommend!

We used the Christy located in O’Fallon and it was amazing! I was out of town for most of my planning and they worked with me and helped out a lot. They did wonderful on setting up my decorations. The service was fantastic and the bar tender was spot on. The whole venue was more than accommodating. I also loved the price. This was a wonderfully priced venue with wonderful staff. I would definitely recommend!

Top venue to book. Amazing staff, great pricing, bang for your buck, exquisite atmosphere, and great coordinators. They communicate very often. Advise of upcoming payments, changes, and review day of several times to ensure everything will be to your liking.

Christy was our granddaughter's caterer for the reception at the NEO on Locust. Karen helped us with the amount of appetizers and the type most sought after. She was very helpful in choosing the table settings we wanted. We had chicken, beef, green beans, white and red pastas and they made a wedding sheet cake to go along with cupcakes from another vendor. We received many compliments on the food. The Ron and Shirley salad with cheese and deli meat was excellent. We had a number of vegan meals which were delivered to the tables. Kim was the catering Captain and we had several discussions and emails before the reception and even while she was at NEO. Her attention to detail was really appreciated. The crew had nice uniforms and they packed up the left over food which we ate for several days. We have 2 other granddaughters and will use The Christy when their time comes!!!

The Christy O'Fallon hosted our dream wedding!!! Ron was amazing and accommodating from the very beginning. He answered all my questions, remained flexible with changes, etc. He even let my mom and I come in the day before and decorate with our own decor since there wasn't another event in our room. His crew had it all ready for us! At the reception, he brought us a drink, checked in on us several times, and was an absolute perfect host. The pricing was also wonderful for all our package offered. I truly felt all the staff cared about our wedding being amazing! I recommend this venue 100%!!!!

Ron and his staff at The Christy are truly exceptional. I would highly recommend this venue to any and all who are looking for a wedding reception venue. Ron and the staff at The Christy were professional, courteous, and extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process, and they did everything in their power to make our wedding reception the best night ever. The food was outstanding, the bar tending staff was great, and the venue was clean and elegant. I can't say enough about how happy we were with our event at The Christy.

The venue is very pretty inside, the food was delicious and the manager and bartender, that night was so very helpful. One thing I would have liked was that the food I asked to be boxed up to go, was actually done. I didn't get to eat because I was socializing and thus my plate of food and cake was thrown away even after I asked for it to be boxed. other than that everything was wonderful.
