Looking for reception that allows outside catering

I got a terrible time finding a place that allows outside catering.  This is what happens when you're Asian American and both families insist on having a traditional Chinese banquet.  I got a list of a few place but with a guest size of 300 (yes, also a typical Asian wedding size :/) I am again limited.  My choices are dimming.
Do you ladies have more that I can add to this list?
Possibilities:
Walden Pond (too small)Fairfield Community Arts Center (too small)Edgewood Senior Center (too small)Lake Lyndsay (too small)Nathanael Greene Lodge (too small)Krippendorf Lodge (too small)The Carnegie (too small)Anderson CenterSouthgate Community CenterHartwell Golf ClubFt. Thomas Community CenterMusic Hall
And for those who have had theirs at either Southgate Community Center, Hartwell Golf Club, or Ft. Thomas Community Center, can you please tell me what your experiences were or link me to your vendor reviews?
Thanks so much!

    You could try asking Savannah Center where I got married.  My friend (who is Indian and also had a very large wedding) was able to cater in their own food.  I can also give her your email if you want to find out more...email me if interested.

    What about Ronald Reagan Lodge at Voice of America Park?  Not sure what their capacity is but know they allow your own catering and some girls on here have had their wedding there.

    I'm getting married at Ft Thomas Community Center in June, so no reviews yet, but I have known several people who have gotten married there and all had great things to say about it.  I've also heard nothing but good things about the Southgate Community Center. 

    I'm not sure if whiteda is still around, but she had her reception at Southgate in the spring.  you could try searching for her vendor reviews.

    I am getting married at The Elements and I have 350 people coming. We are a mix of two cultures so I know they allow you to bring in outside catering. We had so many changes in our wedding and they took such good care of us!

    The Glendale Lyceum is where we've had company holiday parties and it is very nice. I believe it seats around 300 ppl and that you can bring outside caterers.

    Also I've been to a wedding at The Grand in Covington and it was very nice. This wedding had over 300 ppl. I think they have a list of preferred caterers, but not sure about the rules.
