Wedding reception

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!

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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
