Help with last minute receptial hall suggestions?

Hi Everyone - Please help! I am at my wits end with looking for reception halls. I have been trying to find something 'different' - classy, elegant, impressive & not too overdone or gaughty - maybe I am being too picky?? I am hoping to find something around $100/pp all inclusive with tax & tip. I will be guaranteeing 125 people minimum for a Friday night, but will probably invite 165 so it will need to accommodate up to around that # of people. I was really leaning toward the OldField Club in Setauket, but nowt I'm not sure. Other places that I have looked at are:

Crescent Beach Club - (liked it, too expensive)
Vanderbuilt Mansion - (liked it, but not sure)
Atlantica - (loved, too expensive)
Raphael - (way too expensive)
Thatched Cottage - (not impressed)
Harrison House - (pretty, too expensive)
Beach Club Estate - (not impressed)
Metropolitan Club - (liked, but not a fit for me)
EastWind Caterers - (liked, but unsure, not a favorite)

Outside of this, I have also looked at about 8 places in Westchester which is where my family is from. So I am driving myself nuts! I am trying to book for June 2006, so I am running out of time. Can anyone give me some suggestions of a place that I might have overlooked? Also, any feedback on OldField would be appreciated. I like it, but I'm wondering if my guests would like something a little more fancy vs the OldField's quaint/simple style. Sorry for the long post, but I am getting desperate . Thanks - Laura

Thanks so much for your great advice everyone! I will check out a few of the spots you mentioned and make my final decision. It's good to get some positive feedback on Oldfield Club as well just in case I end up going with them. Thanks so much!! If anyone has any other ideas, keep them coming. I'm sure I'll be back with more questions once I book my place Thanks again!!

Majestic gardens is very nice, what about the Huntington town house, timber point, west sayville country club or hamlet willow creek

North Ritz Club may suit your needs. I think the friday minimum is higher than 125, but they may work with you

I second the North Ritz Club. If you want to stick to Westchester try the Glen Island Harbour Club - it is beautiful. There is also the Surf Club and the VIP Club in Westchester

ETA: By the way, in case you don't know anything about these places. North Ritz Club hosts only one wedding at a time. It's elegant but understated- looks like the inside of a classic home.

The Westchester clubs are all on or near the water which should provide for a unique atmosphere.

Check out Bridgeview Yacht Club. It was absolutely amazing. The food, service and hall are really top notch. Please do not be turned off by their website (if you check it) I don't know when the last time they worked on it was.
You could also look into Chateau La Mer, they recently redid the place.
Both these places should be within your budget.
