When it comes to catering in Cleveland, Ohio, Village Catering Company brings restaurant-quality food and full-service hospitality to weddings and special events across the area. We travel from Wayne County up to Cleveland for the celebrations that call for something special — including at the Ariel International Center, one of Cleveland’s most striking event venues — bringing the same fresh, made-to-order approach that’s earned us a devoted following. From a rooftop wedding overlooking Lake Erie to an elegant reception, our team handles the menu, the setup, and the service so you can focus on your guests.
Cleveland is a city that celebrates in style — home to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, a beautiful Lake Erie lakefront, the historic West Side Market, Playhouse Square’s dazzling theater district, and the museums and gardens of University Circle. It’s a place of big moments and genuine character, and that energy is exactly what we love bringing our food to. Whether you’re planning a wedding, a milestone celebration, or a special event, we build a custom menu around your vision and your guest count.
