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 caterers were very professional and efficient. They were very willing and able to fit our schedule and coordinating with other groups for our ceremony! The food was also all absolutely delicious!
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!
Any questions?
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!
Kim Heinzerling is a diamond in disguise. She was my contact as I planned My sister's wedding. I can say your hospitality, professionalism, service, personality, and class were always on display no matter my request!! I am a repeat customer I am an event planner and I use your venue often. You always make me feel like I am at home You were such a huge part in making My Sister's wedding a gigantic success. Everything was perfect and we could not have chosen a better place or more wonderful people! Thank you for being flexible with my over-the-topness. I appreciate you. It was a pleasure working with you. Ms. Kelley & Ms. Pam and the bartender were so amazing. The food was delicious. Thank you for everything you did to make this dream a reality
The best choice for us. Everything was beautifully set up and the food was amazing. They surprised us with a projected image of our names. It’s the little things that made everything so special. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you Katherine!
We had a great time!
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!
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.

We had our wedding reception at the Christy this past weekend. It was so much fun, everything was beautiful. We received so many compliments on the food and drinks. Thank you so much to their staff.
You knocked it out of the park!! The food was delicious!! Your staff was awesome!! Would recommend your services to anyone!! Thank you so much!!!😋😊
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!

It was our pleasure!
The Christy was great to work with! They are affordable and their food is delicious!!
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!
Extremely accommodating, personable, and flexible! Kelly and the staff were super friendly, always quick to respond, and made sure our big day turned out better than we ever could have expected! We definitely made the right choice by selecting The Christy, not one bad thing to say.
They were very helpful! Beautiful venue and an amazing value!!! Such a hidden gem, I am so glad I chose to have my reception at the Christy!
I had the best experience with The Christy! The whole process from start to finish was EASY! Even during a worldwide pandemic, the staff at the Christy has been so pleasant to work with. They had great food, great party environment and excellent bartenders the night of our reception! Would highly recommend The Christy over and over again!
The Christy was absolutely fabulous and so easy to work with. Karen helped us with the food planning and also coordinated all of our tent/table/chair rentals as well. The food was delicious and Kim and the staff were so wonderful at the event! We couldn't be happier with their service and would highly recommend them to all!
Catering by The Christy did a wonderful job!! They were so helpful, answered all my questions, and are reasonable with pricing. The food was awesome! Made my wedding night perfect. Thanks to Karen and the staff!!
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.

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.
Wonderful people to work with. They made the planning process easy and the night was memorable
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!!!
We could not be happier with our experience! We chose The Christy for our wedding reception venue and everything was perfect! Kim and Kelly were so kind and easy to work with! All of my questions were quickly answered and the service we received was amazing!! Thank you so much to the entire staff for helping to make our wedding day everything we could hope for!
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.
Response from the Vendor on 08/28/2019
Thank you so much for the positive review. I'm happy to give you a goody box made fresh anytime you like. Please reach out to me at 314-352-4800 to make arrangements. Kelly Simonds
We just got married last weekend and The Christy was so accommodating with everything! Our ceremony and reception were outdoors in the same location and the venue looked fantastic. Table settings and decorations were placed perfectly. All of our guests loved the food and we could not have asked for more friendly staff on hand that day. We don't have one bad thing to say about our experience and would definitely recommend to anyone! When you're spending this much time and money on one day you want everything to be perfect and both my wife and I felt that Karen, who was helping organize everything for us, put just as much effort in as we did. There was rain later in the evening and the bartenders still stuck it out and were happy to help any way they could. I would definitely suggest considering them for your big day!
We chose the Christy as our caterer for our wedding on 5/11/19 at Neo on Locust. Working with the Christy was an excellent experience! We planned our wedding from out of state, so communication was key in our planning and the Christy did not disappoint! Kim and Kelly were always prompt and responsive to all of our questions throughout the planning process! Our parents were able to attend a tasting at their venue months before, which worked out perfectly. We received many compliments throughout the reception about the Christy, and would definitely recommend working with them! From setup to break down at the end of the night, the entire night ran smoothly with the Christy! They were willing to work with our other vendors throughout the night, making the reception flow. The food was AMAZING too!!!!!
The Christy is a wonderful venue for banquets and weddings. We have hosted a banquet there for the past seven years. They have beautiful banquet rooms and their banquet food is delicious. The management and staff are very accommodating and helpful. We return every year because we love it!
We had such a wonderful reception dinner catered by The Christy at Majorette in Maplewood, MO! From the set-up, to the flip, to the dinner and afterwards--all aspects ran seamlessly!! All of your servers were so nice and polite! I did not worry about anything, Kim had things under control! The food was delightful and plentiful!!
The Christy was just great!
The staff at the Christy were so easy to work with and they did a great job making our event special.
The whole process was so simple. The staff were extremely accommodating and pleasant to work with. We had so many complements on how pretty the room was, how good the food was, the variety of the bar, and how fun the reception was! We're so happy we trusted The Christy with our special day!
The Christy catered for my daughters wedding.
They were OUTSTANDING! The food was delicious.
All of our guest raved about the food.
The staff were so helpful at the reception. They did whatever was requested of them and more.
We rented the tablecloths, china, silverware. The tables were set beautifully.

Everything was amazing! It was beautiful! The food, service, everything! My guests had such a great time.
We have used The Christy for our banquets for several years. They are super to work with, the people are thoughtful and professional, and the quality/value is great.
Ron was great to work with! He was very flexible with me the day before and always answered my many questions. The only thing was I should have been very specific when it came to the cake cutting. They did not cut into one of the flavors at all.
The venue was gorgeous inside & out. The staff was such a pleasure to work with frim the beginning of planning until the included open bar last call for drinks at the reception. The guest absolutely loved the hor'douers, the dinner menue, & the phenomenal hospitality. They allowes me to come to venue with my coordinator as much as we needed to make sure set up was om time & things done correctly. Everything went as planned & on schedule. I absolutely would recommend The Christy to anyone planning an elegant event but not trying to break the bank!!
The Christy catered our wedding reception at Neo. They were great to work with leading up to the wedding and on the day of! The food was phenomenal! We received lots of complements from our guests on how good our food was! I highly recommend The Christy for catering!!
Cannot say enough great things about the wonderful people at the Christy! From the first meeting to the planning process and into the reception and even afterwards the customer service was second to none! They were easy to work with, helpful and the pricing was phenomenal compared to the service provided. The food was amazing to top it all off!
The place was beautiful. The food was delicious. The wait staff was very attentive. Ron and his management went out of their way to make our day special even when Mother Nature had other plans.
Colleen G,
Ron and his team at the Christy in o fallon did a wonderful job. I, being the bride, did not have any stress with having them be part of my day. I would highly recommend the Christy to every single person looking for a wedding venue.
Not a Wedding party but a Birthday party in celebration of 70 years of good living. Ron worked with our every wish to make this a highly successful and fun party. The banquet food exceeded our expectations and the personnel assisting with our event were a delight to deal with. Every whim was satisfied and the professionalism shown by all was exemplary. So many compliments from the 100 or so guests on the quality setup and level of service provided by "The Christy". And to think that the guests did not even have the pleasure of working with Ron on the planning. Our Kudos to all who participated or assisted with this endeavor.
Larry and Donna Johnson - O'Fallon, MO
They did an awesome job the whole night!
Ron at The Christy was absolutely amazing and made our wedding reception so easy and beautiful! I would highly recommend The Christy to anyone!
Great venue and awesome staff! Highly recommend!!
Ron and the staff at The Christy were super easy to work with and very flexible. They were not at all pushy, but had great recommendations and accommodated everything we wanted for the reception.
The staff at The Christy went above and beyond. They were so helpful and easy to work with. The food was delicious, we have received so many compliments. The decor was set up exactly as we wanted and looked amazing. Our wedding day went so smoothly and Ron and his staff are to thank. We will be recommending The Christy to all our family and friends and we won’t hesitate to use them for other special occasions.
I highly suggest The Christy Baquet Center. It’s beautiful and a great price. We went to the O’Fallon MO location. Ron is a great guy and very easy to work with. His whole staff did an amazing job at making our evening perfect.
The Christy Banquet Center turned out to be a beautiful venue for our wedding reception! The staff the day-of were very friendly and made sure we were taken care of! The food was delicious!!
LOVED, LOVED, LOVED The Christy!! Ron was great to work with. The food was amazing. Bartenders and staff were all great.. My guest still are talking about how great the food was. Anyone would be crazy not to book at The Christy!
By far the best place to have a wedding, the venue is beautiful, the food the best I have ever had at a reception and I have been to many places. This place blows any hotel away. The service is the best and the owner Ron goes above and beyond to make sure your special day is one that is talked about for a very long time. I would tell anyone to pass on a hotel wedding and book at this place!
We loved our reception at the Christy. Ron Preiss was an excellent host and all of our guests complimented the food. We felt like they would have bent over backward for us if we asked them to.
The christy was the perfect place to have our reception at. It was beautiful! We couldn't choose a better place to have it. Plenty of room, a lot of fun and everything went so smooth. They all helped to make sure we we're happy and everyone had a great time. I highly recommend the christy. It wouldn't of been the same if we had it elsewhere. Thank you!!!!
We absolutely loved our experience with The Christy! They were accommodating with us being from out of town and let us come in to trial the food and look at linens whenever we had time. The food was so delicious and all of our guests loved it! They also set all of our tables and helped set up and everything looked gorgeous! They are so affordable and such great quality, we couldn't recommend them more!
Ron and his team were great. The food was awesome. Great pricing. Will most definitely use again.
YUM! We used The Christy catering at NEO for our reception. We received so many compliments on the food! Karen and Kim were so helpful during the entire process. They were patient and helped us figure out linens, food choice, how much to have, etc. We also had them tear down our reception for us which was extremely helpful! Kim was our event manager and she did an amazing job setting up the venue for us. We couldn't have done it without her! Thank you!
Everyone was very friendly and efficient. They helped keep the reception on the timeline we had agreed on so I didn't have to worry about anything. Food was great and they were very accommodating of my gluten allergies.
We received multiple compliments on how good the food was at our wedding! The Christy was the most reasonable caterer around for everything they offer and wonderful to work with. They answer questions quickly and keep the process easy. My only suggestion is to clarify rather your venue has any special fees or requirements. We didn't find out until our final payment was due that we had an extra fee due to our venue requiring them to stay throughout the night.
Ron was absolutely amazing!!! Since the day my husband and I walked in he has been very knowledgeable and very helpful!! The venue is incredible and the food is freakin fantastic!!! 😍😍 I recommend this venue to everyone!! Also, the price is unbelievable!! Thank you soo much!! My day was perfect!!
Everything turned out perfectly at the reception! My husband and I and everyone else that came to our wedding was impressed! The food was great! I recommend doing the tasting so you can decide what you want!
They have affordable pricing and food is delicious! I did multiple spring colors and got to choose all different colors don't to napkins for no extra charge the place was beautiful! Ron is great to work with allows flexibility for setting up and taking down which most venues don't do. Added bonus you get to keep leftovers most people won't do that either!
Ron who manages the Christy was so amazing to work with. Our event was scheduled the same day as an ice storm was going to hit. We asked Ron if we could push the date back a week on very short notice. He had the availability so he let us move it with no extra charge. The food was delicious and the staff was very accommodating. The price was fantastic as well. I highly recommend the Christy for any event and I plan to use this venue again.
We had our wedding reception at the Christy Banquet center in O'Fallon MO and I would choose them a million times ! Ron was incredible to work with ! He helped make all our dreams come true and even had a riser built for us ! I can't even put into words how much I loved my experience there ! And all our guests raved about how delicious the food was ! Highly recommended !!!! I wish I could give them a thousand stars ! Staff was amazing too and so friendly !
Amazing! My husband and I were married almost a month ago and we are still receiving compliments from our guests on how wonderful the venue and the food was. The staff was amazing and so easy to work with. They helped us with more than any other vendor offered and the food was fantastic! The entire staff definitely worked hard to make sure our night went as beautifully as possible and I can't thank them enough for their role in making my wedding night the best night of my life!
We had our wedding and reception at The Christy in O'Fallon. It was very reasonably priced, the service was good, and the facility is very nice. I was able to drop off our decorations and set up one table as an example, and they did the rest of the decorating for us. They also have contacts with various vendors to help coordinate your cake, chair covers, etc.
The food was very good, we received a lot of compliments on it.
The ceremony room is small, but sufficient for a quick ceremony. We loved the convenience of having both at one locations. There is also ample parking for guests.
Ron was wonderful to work with at The Christy Banquet Center in O'Fallon. My daughter's wedding reception was absolutely beautiful. The food was delicious, the staff was great and the bartenders were exceptional. We are still receiving Facebook messages, texts and personal comments regarding how wonderful and beautiful the reception was and how good the food was. We would recommend The Christy in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a great venue at a really good price.
Ron and his staff at The Christy O'Fallon did an amazing job. The reception was beautiful and the food was delicious. He even gave us a discount for having my daughter's reception on a Friday. I highly recommend The Christy O'Fallon.
I could have not asked for a better venue for our wedding. Both Ron and Raven were incredibly helpful during the process and patient with all our questions. They worked with our schedule and never once was the source of anxiety. Not to mention the place is beautiful (in general and especially for O'Fallon, MO). All our pictures came out wonderfully and our day was everything we hoped for and more. Highly recommend The Christy for any couple looking for a simple place with good prices, great food, and warm people.
The Christy was a great venue. Ron was amazing to work with. The price was insanely reasonable. They took care of everything and were very responsive and accommodating. The whole reception went great and everything came together without a hitch. All of the staff was amazing and the setup looked great. I would definitely recommend them for any couple looking for a venue.
My husband and I absolutely loved the Christy Banquet Center and staff! They made our special day perfect!
We had our wedding reception at The Christy in South CIty. I worked primarily with Kelly, who was fantastic. She answered all my questions throughout the process. She was very patient as my seating chart changed days before the reception due to my Grandmother wanting to attend last minute and needing more space at the table to accommodate her wheelchair. She was very honest with us and made recommendations based off our wants. I received and continue to receive compliments on the food and service. Everyone was so kind and truly wanted to ensure that I had the best experience. Thank you Kelly for all of your help!! My wedding would not have been the day it was without you!!
We had our reception at The Christy in O'Fallon. It was a wonderful experience from before we booked through our reception! Working with Ron was easy. He was accommodating before we booked with meeting us after hours for a tour and offering a tasting. He was VERY responsive to email, getting back to us often within a couple of hours with answers to our questions. We used the centerpieces offered by the venue, which were nice and one less thing we had to do before our wedding. I liked that we were able to come in two days before to decorate. The day of was perfect. The food was delicious and we got several compliments on it. The only thing was that we paid extra for a monogram that was projected on the wall and there was a typo with my groom's name, but that wasn't a huge deal for us. Raven (Ron's assistant manager) was very helpful throughout the night and kept things running smoothly.
The Christy was easy to work with, affordable, the amenities made our day easier, and the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend them to other couples!
My reception could have been better. People were raving about the food and how good it was. The atmosphere was exactly what we wanted for our classic/ romantic theme.
The Christy was a great fit for our wedding reception! Working with Ron Preiss at the O'Fallon location was a very easy and stress-free part of our overall wedding planning. We are so glad we chose this venue!
We reserved the entire building, which gave it a nice private feel, as we were the only event being held there that night. The food was delicious and they accommodated all of our little requests, including a little side dish of mostacholi just for my dad (even though we didn't serve it as part of the buffet).
When a Friday night event got booked shortly before the wedding (the day we had hoped to decorate) and we weren't able to decorate for ourselves, they took over the set up of the venue as well, which took that off my plate during a very busy wedding week. Everything looked just like the sample tables we set up for them.
We were able to use a side room as a "kid's getaway" for coloring, etc., and they kindly set up a few additional tables and tablecloths in there for that purpose.
The "late night appetizers" were a big hit with our guests.
Parking is ample and the overall location was perfect for our needs.
They were willing to utilize all of the special items we brought along...my parent's champagne glasses for the whole wedding party, etc.
They also provided us with the leftover food, which we divvied up among some grateful friends and family (they also offer to donate the rest to a nearby shelter, which is a great alternative).
Those are just a few of the nice things that made The Christy a great fit for us, but all aspects were handled very professionally and confidently. We received rave reviews from our 270 guests. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone!
Ron and his team at the Christy are Terrific! The food was delicious and the hall was beautiful. He made everything run smoothly, he helped with who we might want to use for the cake and the DJ too, which worked out fabulously as well. Our guest enjoyed our reception and so did we!
Ron and everyone at the Christy made our wedding reception SO PERFECT!!! We could not have asked for anything better! Ron was very personable and accommodated to all of our needs, and always made us feel special! The food was also AMAZING! Highly recommend them!
I hired The Christy to cater my wedding at Quail Ridge Lodge last month. I cannot say enough about their service and food. Karen was extremely responsive all throughout the process. The staff the day of was accommodating and very friendly. The bartender was great! We received tons of compliments on the food as well. I would highly recommend The Christy to anyone looking for a reputable caterer in Saint Louis!
We would highly recommend the Christy! The manager, staff, decorations, music and food were wonderful! Couldn't ask for anything better!
The Christy was a wonderful venue to have our corporate awards banquet. Ron was great to work with. He had great ideas and was very flexible when we had to change things at the last minute. The sit down dinner was handled very promptly and elegantly. The food was delicious and the portions were large.
We will definitely have other events in the future there!
Outstanding venue, Excellent Food, Beautiful decor and FANTASTIC customer service. So many of our guests complimented on this being "the best wedding reception" they ever attended!
We loved having our wedding reception at The Christy! Ron was very accommodating and went far above and beyond with his service and hospitality. He genuinely cared and wanted to help us achieve our perfect reception any way that he possibly could. The staff was professional and took care of all of our needs at the reception. We did not have to worry about anything, and were able to enjoy our amazing night!
We have used The Christy many times for our company Christmas party and have nothing but good things to say about them! We are a company that supports developmentally disabled individuals and they are always very accommodating and accepting of all of our individuals. Great food, great atmosphere, and we love the family run business. They're pricing is extremely reasonable and I would recommend them for a variety of events!
I can not say enough amazing things about The Christy and the manager Ron. The venue was beautiful, the up-lighting really set the mood. The food - was amazing! So many people came to me to comment on how great the food was which was incredible, because I know I personally have come to accept "wedding food" and disappointing. Not theirs though - it was truly delicious! And Ron is the best thing that could happen to a Bride! He was so accommodating and helpful. He was so nice and generous, helping me through the entire process. I recommend The Christy to EVERYONE. There are so many headaches and complications when planning a wedding, do yourself a favor and have a meeting with Ron and you will see how him and The Christy far surpass any other venue.
The Christy in O'Fallon, MO will be the best stop you make. The venue is beautiful, Ron is so easy to work with; flexible, accommodating, kind and an all around great guy. Comments from my guests ranged from how beautiful the room was to how amazing the food tasted to how welcoming Ron was. You will not get better value for your dollar anywhere in the St Charles/St Louis area. I cannot say enough about our experience at the Christy. Do yourself a favor and visit the venue. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
The Christy really went above and beyond to help make our special day perfect. The day before our reception, they set up the favors, and laid out our seating cards. The day of, they decorated the tables with additional flower petals. The staff is extremely helpful and easy to work with. Someone is always available when you call and answer questions/emails promptly. Loved them! The guests also raved about the food, it's delicious! And everything is reasonable! Guests had a blast, and so did we.
The Christy is a fantastic place for a wedding reception. Kelly, Kim and the entire staff were fantastic. They answered all of our questions no matter how many times we called or emailed them. Our family and friends said it was the best reception they have been to. Their buffet was great in particular the salad was out of this world. I would definitely recommend the Christy to anyone who is planning a reception.
Ron and the Christy were fantastic to work with from the beginning. We met with several different reception vendors and many were very pushy and it didn't feel like we were anything more than income to them. Ron and The Christy were completely different. When we met with Ron the first time he was very friendly, open, provided a lot of tips and feedback, and he set us at ease. At the time we were living in South Dakota and he said he would be more than willingly to work with us to help accommodate our needs. He responded to emails in a reasonable amount of time, usually same day. My parents live out of town and he was flexible with me every time I asked if I could stop by to show people the place.
Since we lived in SD we were looking for a place that required very little decoration and very little work on our end, and The Christy was just that. They already had centerpieces, table cloths, napkins, option of chair covers, chandeliers, and lights behind the head table. They also do their own catering and had their own bartenders, so that was one less thing we needed to worry about.
We did decide to use a few of our own decorations and Ron and his team were more than willing to help us out with getting them set up. He offered to put the decorations out for us so that it was one less thing we needed to worry about.
When we arrived for our wedding reception, Ron was wonderful. He came out to greet us and to talk to us about how the night would start off as far as meals, clearing the buffet, etc. It was such a relief to get to the reception and know that he had everything under control and that we didn't need to worry about a thing. The night was so stress-free for us. The food was delicious! Everyone complimented it that night and weeks after our wedding as well. Ron made sure to check in with us a couple of times throughout the night to make sure we didn't need anything. At the end of the night, we never felt rushed or like we were being kicked out. The Christy boxed up all the buffet food that wasn't eaten and the cake for us so that we could take it home.
I highly recommend The Christy in O'Fallon to everyone. They were such a great, kind, and sincere staff to work with. They made it so we were able to enjoy our reception without any worries.
We had a wonderful experience with the Christy and their staff. They took the time to work with us and made sure that everything was ready and in order so that we didn't have to worry about ANYTHING on our big day. I wasn't the easiest bride as I asked for several meetings throughout my wedding planning process because I was nervous and wanted everything to be perfect. They granted my every request with a smile and made sure we were happy with our service. The food was great and everyone at the reception commented on how delicious it was and how great the staff was in our room. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who is in need of a place to host a wedding or any event.
