MVP of My Wedding Day

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!

Weddings with Catering by The Christy

Catering by The Christy deserves five stars on all fronts. Karen and Kim were both wonderful to work with while planning our food and drink, as well as paperwork and invoicing. The kitchen staff and bartenders were incredible throughout our whole wedding day, with food hot and ready on time and drinks refilled for the head table regularly! Would absolutely recommend going with The Christy for any event in any budget. Thank you so much!

The Christy ---- WOW! They were great!

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!

Wedding Reception buffet

My son and daughter in law wanted a hamburger / hot dog bar with several sides for their reception meal. Not all caterers provide that type of food. But, The Christy does, and boy was it a big hit! Everyone loved it! And the Mac N Cheese was super yummy too! Would definitely use them again!

Excellent St. Louis catering service!

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!

So thankful for The Christy!

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 delicious! I even had some guests tell me they were still dreaming about how good the food was days later. ;)
It was very reasonably priced for everything that we got, and I’m so thankful we decided to have them.
Thank you so much again for everything!! We loved working with you!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
