History

Established in 1992.

After twenty years in the restaurant business as Ron & Shirley’s Italian Restaurants, Ron Preiss and his daughter, Kelly Simonds, started catering their top quality food to St. Louis and the surrounding area. Known as Exclusive Catering for ten years, in January 2002, the name was changed to Catering by The Christy. As Exclusive Catering we had catered over 2,000 events including beautiful wedding and banquet affairs, luncheon buffets and, through our Corporate Fare division, box lunches, both small and large luncheons and, picnics and barbecue gatherings.

Our off-​premise catering is operated from The Christy and, with the high recognition of the banquet center and the food served, the catering name was changed to reflect that recognition.

In addition, Catering by the Christy is the preferred caterer for several unique venues in the St. Louis area.

Ron and Kelly bring over 45 years of restaurant and food industry combined experience and excellence to the business.
