For couples planning a wedding in Dutchess County, Christo’s Catering in Poughkeepsie offers a combination of wedding venue, catering, bar service, and event planning experience in one location. Set alongside the McCann-Caven Golf Course, Christo’s has hosted weddings and special events in the Hudson Valley for decades.
One feature that sets Christo’s apart is its focus on hosting one function at a time. Rather than sharing the venue with another wedding or party, couples and their guests receive the staff’s full attention for their celebration. The venue can accommodate weddings of up to approximately 300 guests, making it suitable for both intimate receptions and larger Hudson Valley weddings.
Wedding Catering at Christo’s
Food is a major part of the wedding experience at Christo’s. The venue offers several wedding packages with selections ranging from cocktail-hour hors d’oeuvres to plated entrées, desserts, wedding cake arrangements, and beverage service.
Cocktail-hour choices include jumbo shrimp, smoked salmon, fresh mozzarella with tomato and basil, prosciutto and melon, spanakopita, stuffed mushrooms, shrimp Provençal, meatballs, Italian sausage with peppers, and other hot and cold selections.
For dinner, couples can choose from entrées such as filet mignon, roast sirloin, salmon, chicken piccata, stuffed chicken, pork, seafood, and other selections depending on the wedding package chosen. Christo’s also says it is willing to discuss requests not included on its standard menus.
Complete Wedding Packages
For couples who prefer to simplify wedding planning, Christo’s offers packages that bundle many reception essentials. Depending on the package selected, wedding services can include cocktail-hour food, dinner, wedding cake planning, coffee and tea service, a five-hour open bar, wine and champagne service, table linens, napkins, and centerpieces. Linen colors and other details can also be coordinated with the couple’s wedding plans.
Having the same venue handle catering, beverages, reception space, and several décor details can be especially helpful for couples who want to reduce the number of individual wedding vendors they need to coordinate.
A Scenic Poughkeepsie Wedding Setting
Christo’s is located beside the McCann-Caven Golf Course, offering landscaped surroundings and outdoor scenery that can also serve as a backdrop for wedding photography. The venue offers on-site parking and is wheelchair-accessible. Its Poughkeepsie location also makes Christo’s convenient.
