    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!

    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.

“I just wanted to pass on a letter of thanks to  your staff for a job well done at the Doss/Roberts  reception that was held on Aug. 27th at the St. Ann Community Center. Your staff was the friendliest, most customer-oriented staff I have ever had the privilege of dealing with. As the campus manager for Enterprise Rent-a-Car’s corporate headquarters in Clayton . . . I work with catering staff on a weekly basis. Our caterer’s can take tips from your employees on how to deliver top customer service in a very busy environment. Your staff provided us everything we needed in a timely, professional manner. I cannot commend them enough for their responsiveness to all of our needs and their willingness to accommodate our every request. …their suggestions helped the evening flow smoother. We had 400 people to feed and they had it done within approximately 30 minutes. …Please pass on our thanks to all the staff. I would highly recommend your company to anyone who is looking for top quality catering at a fair price. By the way, the food was delicious and there was enough for seconds! …” ~Yvonne Roberts


“We just want to let you know that the service  you provided to our Marine Corps League on  May 20th was delightful. “Your staff was very professional to deal with. Gary, our server, was wonderful. As he set up and tore down, we were not aware of his working in our midst. The buffet looked lovely and the food was not only delicious but served hot. “Would we use your services in the future? You bet we would.” ~Adrienne Steinke, Marine Corps League Auxiliary


“To all who were involved: “Just a word of thanks for making the 80th  birthday party on Sun., April 30th for my husband, Ameal, the best ever! Our friends and family could not complement the affair enough.  “Everyone that I came in contact with could not  have been more helpful and kind. The food was  great, the room was set up just the way I had asked and the party went just fine.  “Kelly, Rich, Ron, Joyce and the people who helped out at the affair; and the very kind gentlemen who served the drinks at the bar — they were  terrific. Please thank them for me, also.  “You have a wonderful business, keep up the  good work and I will (and would) recommend your facility to anyone who wanted to have a wedding, party, shower, etc. It is the finest! May your business be prosperous for many years to come.” ~Ameal and Gerri Nassif
