Hello Edenh Brides.... I just got back from the NH on Saturday. We were married on April 22nd and had the greatest time. I'll post a quick review and is anyone would like more information feel free to PM me. I had spoke with Mariana frequently before we left so had a pretty good idea of how things would go. She also emailed me with a meeting time to discuss last minute details once we were at the resort. We traveled with a group of 64 and everyone had the best time...the resort and rooms are beautiful. We had the upgraded package. We even had a letter in our room congratulating us on arrival! The meeting was great. Mariana is a sweetheart and will do whatever she can. The only supplies we had were for the sand ceremony, bubbles, music, and cake topper. Everything else was provided and she will do whatever you want. She showed pictures of different cakes, flowers, etc. and the meeting was about 30 minutes. Payment was made the next day with mastercard. We even went over how we wanted the reception area to look. As for the wedding....I did my own makeup (I had a lesson prior!) and my cousin did our hair so I have no comment on the spa. My two sisters stood for me and I had small bouquets for each of them and I chose to have blue ribbon around the flowers. The guys and my father had white flowers and blue ribbon as well. These were all delivered an hour before the ceremony. We chose the huppa (gazebo) for the ceremony on the beach. It was $350 but well worth it. Mariana chose the flowers that went with the huppa and they looked amazing. I had the white chair covers with blue ribbon. Mariana provided rose petals for down the aisle. I gave her music on CD's for the ceremony as well as a CD with 1 hour of music for the cocktail hour. The ceremony itself was very quick. Once it was over, we went into a toast (wine and sprite for everyone, which can be chosen during your meeting). Hardly anyone ate the h'or douvres but they looked okay. Our ceremony was at 4pm and it wasn' t too hot. During the cocktail hour is when we had our photos taken. I highly recommend our photographer and videographer. I couldn't be happier with the pictures. He gave us (before we left the country) a DVD, CD with 599 photos on it as well as personalized wedding book which is beautiful. If you would like to see it please PM me with your email and I will send it. His name is Michael Weiler and his website is weddingpuntacana.com. He and the videographer were hilarious and truly made the day! The reception was held at the Italian. Great spot because you have a dance floor. I provided the CD's for music and it was fun. The food was delicious. It wasn't a very detailed review but I really have nothing but the greatest things to say about the resort and how they handled the wedding. Everyone from the wedding coordinator, those that prepared the ceremony and as well as the staff at the reception....they were all great. I would go back there in a heartbeat!!

I spoke with Mariana yesterday and she had asked me if I wanted a gazebo or arch for the wedding ceremony. I asked her for pictures of both before I made a decision and she said she would send some. I will post them on here if I get them!!!

Hi everyone, I was told by Elizabeth that the resort photographer is Jorge Allocco and his website is jorgeallocco.com Hope this helps!!

Congratulations to everyone getting married at this resort!!! Our wedding is April 22nd, 2009. I'm just wondering if anyone has heard of ideas for a reception/gathering for the guests after the wedding. We didn't want to go with a private gathering as it would be expensive (we have 64 booked so far!!). So, if you have any ideas I would love to hear them.

Hi my name is Heather and I will be getting married April 22nd, 2009 at the Edenh Real in Punta Cana!!! Any information will be greatly appreciated!
