Cocktail Wedding Venues on the East Coast that let you BYO catering (cheese & meats grazing table)?

We're looking to have a wedding with around 100 guests in a cocktail setting (no sit down meals etc.). We want to bring in an external company to do an amazing cheese and meats grazing table (that can easily be done by a registered caterer if need be) and then do drinks through the venue as well as potentially canapes as well. We know some venue's supply grazing tables but we're really after something quite extravagant hence the external caterer. We're based in Sydney but are really not fussy about time of year or destination as long as it's on the east of Australia (QLD, NSW and VIC) and a venue that's indoors (or at least has an indoor area in case it rains). Does anyone know venues who would allow this or know whether it is a viable option at all? Thank you!
