Will that really cost that much for the 100000 mile or 7year service? Is it reliable and cheaper if I go with non-Honda dealer? Can I skip this service as I don't have any issues or problems with my car? Please advice me.

Never blindly pay what the dealer quotes. The dealer is a private mechanic like any other except they generally charge more labor dollars to make up for what they lose on warranty claims.
Take out your owners manual and see what is required at 100k. Call a few shops and tell them what you need done and get some quotes. $1500 probably includes "Dealer Suggested Items" that Honda doesn't even require for your car which is usually a bunch of fluff to help their bank accounts grow.

That is quite extreme for a Honda for a 100,000 mile maintenance.
Usually a 100,000 calls for:
Air filter
Cabin Air Filter
Timing belt (and I suggest water pump since you are right there)
ATF fluid change
Fuel filter
LOF
Injector cleaning
Check brakes and several other checks.
I think the last time I wrote one up it was under $1000. Then again I am in Peoria where the labor rate isn't quite as high as Chicago's.
