Testimonials

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.

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.

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!!!😋😊

Throughly enjoyed our experience with this venue. Everything moved smoothly and the price was reasonable. We rented the chapel and the reception area and we couldn’t be happier with the way things turned out.

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!

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 🙂

Ron and Jimmy went above and beyond by delivering food to our facility during a blizzard. I received so many compliments from all of our associates on the food. They made a holiday work event even more special.

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!

The Christy was super helpful and kind. They were very quick to answer any questions my husband and I had. The service they provided on our wedding day was just absolutely amazing. The bartender was just so sweet and very professional and quick. She made sure we were taken care of all night. The catering staff was very attentive. I could not recommend them more!

The venue is very pretty and the food is absolutely delicious. They have done a great job keeping the colors neutral. I love how they have everything you need in house from a variety of color linens to centerpieces. Everyone was very impressed with the food. We all had a wonderful time at a very competitive price!

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!

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!

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 want to start with a huge shout out to Ron! he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was so helpful and easy to talk to. He really made every step of the planning for the reception enjoyable. We even told him he better come have a drink with us night of lol. The food was delicious, drinks were made right and flowing all night, all the staff was friendly. We truly had the perfect reception. We highly recommend the Christy in O'Fallon and Ron!

Wow! Had wedding and reception here. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL, WELL ORGANIZED, JUST GORGEOUS! Food was deeeelicious! Ron and his staff were friendly, professional and just simply- on point! Ron was kind, knowledgeable and helped us navigate EVERYTHING! It went off without hitch! Not 1 hiccup on their part( 1 on mines- lol.. left wedding shoes and bridesmaid had to run to hotel to grab!) He allowed our outside vendors to come in an do their thing with set up. He was gracious(honestly he was) from start to finish! I'd have event here in a heartbeat! Facility is updated, clean. Plenty of parking spaces. Not 1 regret having our day here.. best day EVER! THANK YOU RON!

They did a wonderful job helping us plan for our wedding and the food was awesome! They took care of everything even containers for left over food! Thanks Ron and staff!

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!

The Christy Banquet Center was very helpful with our end of year banquet and trivia night. Their service was friendly and nice and accommodations and changes were done with a friendly attitude. This is a nice venue for weddings and celebrations of any type. Ron is always willing to work with you and super helpful.

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!

Ron and everyone else were awesome. Food was amazing! Highly recommend!

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.

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.

Wonderful people to work with. They made the planning process easy and the night was memorable

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%!!!!

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!

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.

Let me just say, my wife and I got married on 6/24/2018. I meant to write this review a long time ago but kept putting it off. However, the fact that I'm coming back over a year later to write the review indicates how great the staff at The Christy was, and how deserving they are of a great review. My wife and I got married at the O'Fallon location. Ron and his staff were absolutely terrific. All the guests commented that the food was very tasty. The décor was beautiful, and the service was outstanding. My wife and I felt that the price was more than fair, and we are extremely happy we chose The Christy. It means a lot to us that they made one of the best nights of our lives such a memorable one.

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!

If you want to have an elegant yet affordable wedding, this is THE place to go. We did so much searching, attended bridal shows and finally found this gem. The owner is so nice and so personable. They do practically everything for you so no need to stress about decorations or bar. It has a flat per person rate that INCLUDES open bar and other freebies that other places charge for. Also did I mention the food? So good and they sent all of the left over food home with us. I highly recommend the ham, chicken parm, au gratin potatoes and green beans. The best deal for a beautiful wedding.
