When it comes to catering in Mansfield, Ohio, Village Catering Company brings restaurant-quality food and full-service hospitality to weddings, corporate events, and celebrations across the area. We proudly serve Mansfield and the surrounding region — bringing the same fresh, made-to-order approach that’s earned us a loyal following. From a garden ceremony to a downtown corporate luncheon, our team handles the menu, the setup, and the service so you can focus on your guests.
Mansfield has a character all its own — the seat of Richland County, set in the rolling hills of North-Central Ohio between Columbus and Cleveland. It’s famous as the home of the Ohio State Reformatory, the dramatic castle-like former prison that served as the primary filming location for The Shawshank Redemption and now anchors the Shawshank Trail. Add the 47-acre Kingwood Center Gardens, the historic Renaissance Theatre downtown, and nearby Malabar Farm, and you’ve got a town rich with history and beauty. That character is exactly what we love bringing our food to. Whether you’re planning a wedding, a business event, or a milestone celebration, we build a custom menu around your vision and your guest count.
