I emailed Ruth a few questions on Thursday and she replied last night (Sunday). I didnt ask a lot of questions this time around. Its kind of weird how she answered the questions so I'll just try to summarize it, lol.

1. Symbolic Ceremony Info
*Her direct words ' for another parts the Symbolic wedding it doesn’t include any kind of certification that prove that you are marriage' -> I asked if there is any kind of certificate or paperwork you sign
*If you want another package besides the Vow Renewal Package, then you can choose any other package and the judge will be replaced by a minister

2. Photographs
*from their first wedding
Ruth is still waiting for the photographer to share the pictures with her, but promises to forward them as soon as she can
*She still didn't answer my question about pricing for photographs/videography if you were to choose a package that doesnt offer this

3. Packages
As far as swapping services (Ex: hair & make-up services for photos), they currently don't offer this

I think that's it!

Also, the reception menus are still a work in progress but here's one for the American restaurant. I'm assuming this is the one that the recent bride chose, since no other are available yet. You will notice that the 1st line is in English, then in Spanish for the same item. One other thing I noticed, it doesnt say how many you can choose from each category! : (btw, there are 2 links, but it is just page 2 of the same menu, since she scanned the documents in). Let me know if you want me to email it to you.

Hey Everyone,

I happen to come by a review on trip advisor with some pictures posted of a beach wedding at EdenH.....it looks really nice and the arch way they use is very pretty.

hopefully this link works, if not i'm sure it would be easy enough to find just by going to the website.

Some people are NEVER satisfied! I understand that everyone wants good customer service but what people need to realize is that they are not the only ones being served at resorts. For goodness sake, its a new resort, some kinks will need to be worked out, no resort runs 100% smoothly everyday!

I'm planning on going with a very open mind and have fun in the sun with my friends and family!

lol

Amen to that Christina! Some people just cant help to complain about everything; the funny thing is that most of those people knew the resort was still under construction yet they still chose to go! You will have a great time & I cant wait to hear your feedback and see pics

Looks like Ruth is no longer the coordinator for EdenH! Grisel (the one from Dreams PC) is the new replacement. Thanks for the heads up Cassie!

Also, it looks like the packages have been updated as well, including extra services and spa pricing. I'll try to post the updated ones.

Grisel also mentioned they are still working on the reception menus.

Here is the new updated wedding package info: Edenh_Wedding_Packages_2008.pdf

One good thing I noticed about some of the packages the couple gets VIP status (which is a bad thing for me, b/c we already paid for this) and also the opportunity to upgrade to a suite!

On the down side, it looks like they put a limit to the # of guests. So if you have more guests, then I guess you will have to go with the higher packages. In the first packages it just stated the # of guests registered with EdenH.

The photo prices dont look too bad. But I am also not too happy with the floral/ceremonial decoration extra prices. $30 each for a tikki torch!!!! $25 decoration for each chair!!! Are you kidding me!!! Its not like I get to take the stuff with me! Is this normal? Or am I just being too dramatic? Ok, I'm off my rant.

BTW: Does anyone know what package they are going with or leaning towards?
