    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%!!!!

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.

“Micro wedding hit!!! 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.” ~Dinah Williams

Good publicity for your banquet center was a highlight for the St. Raphael’s Ladies Club.

“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.

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!

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
