I advise that you discuss what you want with the folks at the Rec Center you want, to be sure that they can accommodate your catererer, as well as your booze provider!
Some of the rules allow the caterer to deliver to your chosen rec center, but your club memebrs must serve (and clean up). Then, I believe there are rules which allow you to hire a caterer who will do it all!
My bottom line is: If you want to have a party (private or not) at a Villages facility, sit down with a Villages representative and work out the details/ramifications! In the long run, I think you'll find a totally acceptable outfit!

Sounds very reasonable. Just last week, attended The Village Cup team pickings, with Hacienda Catering doing the catering. Food was well done, with hamburgers well done and rolls that were old. Looked like they cooked them at noon for evening BBQ!! Chicken was hard to chew, and the person manning the beer station, had a faulty connector on keg, and couldn't get it to work good, which resulted in a long line for golfers. I was surprised, because last year, I thought it was so much better.
