Question for photographers - places for great photo ops?

I'm trying to find a reception hall but am having a tough time. Here's why.....

I'm only going to have about 80 guests and don't want to go over $100 pp. My top priority is to have my reception at a hall that is not only reputable, but that has beautiful grounds (or beautiful indoor decor) on location or nearby for picture taking. I don't want my pictures to have boring backdrops. I don't want "studio-like" pictures. I'm looking for a hall in Nassau (or close to the border) and I'm looking for an end of March '04 date.

Can anyone suggest any good halls that meet these qualifications? I'm out of state so I need all the help I can get! I'll be making a trip up to NY soon but I won't have much time.....

Thanks so much!!!! I really appreciate it....
