Dear Captain Arnold

Let me start by saying what a fantastic ceremony you performed for us at the Tavern on the Green. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and complimented us on our choice of officiant. “TAKE NOTE! Anyone reading this who may be in the market for an Officiant, shall not find a more sincere, genuine and humorous man than Captain Arnold. He provides a truly MAGICAL ceremony, in all meanings of the word!”

Best regards,

Tim & Penny Youens

“And here’s another little note on their 1st anniversary”.

Captain Arnold Thank you very much for the E-Card, it was a lovely thought. It’s hard to believe that it’s been a year since that wonderful day. It’s a memory that will last in Pennys & my minds forever.

Pen asked me on Saturday just gone, what I was doing a year ago to the day. She said “sitting on a stainless toilet with a piece of crusty bread”

I hope one day I can re-live the day again by renewing our vows and personally, get out of it what I had initially hoped for.

You’ll be in our thoughts eternally.
All the best

Dear Captain Arnold,

We would like to thank you for turning a hectic day into something special that we will treasure in our hearts forever. You made us both feel very comfortable and at ease during the ceremony. The vows that you chose for us were very fitting and your words were quite touching. All our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the entire ceremony.

Warm Regards,

Iain & Sharon Graham

Dear Capt. Arnold:

My wife and I want to thank you for such a wonderful marriage ceremony that you presided over on 30NOV07. Your words made our wedding ceremony special and unique, just as you had promised. Before the ceremony, you took the time and talked to us separately to help us relax and gave us words of wisdom. Your words of wisdom meant a great deal to us and will be in our hearts forever. During the ceremony, your words of how to keep a happy marriage and what love is about truly touched not only us but others in attendance. A lot of the people who were at the ceremony came up to us afterwards giving us nothing but praise. There were quite a few couples that told us that they felt as if you were talking to them and how much your words touched them.

Again, thank you so much for everything.

Fancy & James Zavala

Captain Arnold,

Christine and I would both like to thank you, profusely for the outstanding job you did to wed us. The feedback from our family and guests has been overwhelming.They are inquiring for your info and wondering if you’re available for Christenings or perhaps the next family gathering. You touched everyone at our ceremony like no other could have.

You are a true talent at what you do. As the groom, you made it more comfortable than I could have ever imagined. You made our day a memory that will last a lifetime. Most importantly, you did what you said you would do. We can’t thank you enough.

You have our recommendation and referral 100%. Feel free to post this letter on your website Captain Arnold. Let it be known! We shall meet again.

Ahoy, all the best,

Damien & Christine Marchese

Hi Captain Arnold!

It’s Samantha and Frank Piedmont from Old Bridge,NJ. We were married on the Explorer of the Seas on November 4th. We enjoyed your ceremony so much. It was the best part of our entire wedding. You were so sincere and professional. Our family and friends also equally enjoyed your ceremony too. Our wedding day was such a crazy day with the a hurricane coming in and the boat not coming into port when it was suppose to, but you made us feel relaxed and comfortable. Thank you so much for making the most important day of our lives so memorable. You were wonderful.

Sincerely,

Samantha and Frank Piedmont

Dear Captain Arnold,

First of all, we are grateful for your service and for making our wedding memorable. You truly live up to your reputation, but it is your passion in making the best wedding for the couples that impresses our guests and us the most.

Second, of all, we want to thank you for all those beautiful and touching words you gave at the ceremony and the words of wisdom that truly open the eyes of our hearts.

New York City is a very special place, but you added its color and soul, one wedding at a time. You are truly gifted, Captain Arnold. For everything you have done for us, we salute you!

With Warmest Wishes,

Meng Koay & Priscilla Lim

Dear Captain Arnold,

We just had to write to thank you so very much for the beautiful ceremony you performed for us onboard the Explorer of the Seas. As we stood and listened to your words, it was as if they came right from your heart. Everyone who attended could not stop raving about how wonderful your service was, saying it was the best they’ve ever attended. That made us feel so good to hear that our guests were touched by you as much as we were. Thank you so much for being such an important part of our wedding day.

When we returned home, the package you sent us was here waiting. Thank you for sending us a beautiful copy of our vows, and for the photos too.

You have a special gift, thank you for sharing it with us! We are blessed to have met you.
Love and warmest regards,

Mike and Tracy Morgan

Captain Arnold –

We received your letter and picture – thanks again for a lovely ceremony. Everyone had a great time and we were very happy with our once-in-a-lifetime wedding day.

Best regards,
Jeff and Jonita

Dear Captain Arnold,

Thank you for a beautiful ceremony and for giving us beautiful memories for years to come! Happy Birthday!

Sarah & Paul

Dear Captain Arnold,

We just wanted to take a moment and thank you for the part you played in making our wedding day so special. Many of our guests told me that our ceremony was the best they had ever attended. It was a real hardship for Bruce’s mom to come to the wedding, but after the ceremony, she told me that she would never have forgiven herself if she had missed such a beautiful service. As you know, you were recommended to us by the managerial staff at the Gatsby. Once I spoke to you, I was confident that you were going to do the right job for us. I know our ceremony was a little unique because it was a second marriage for both of us, and we both come from different religious backgrounds. As I had expressed to you, the goal of our wedding was to have our close friends and family celebrate with us as we formalized an eleven-year relationship. We wanted our event to be memorable and fun. You gave us that and more. Your words completely captivated the audience. People laughed, couples held hands and I think we all took a few minutes to reflect on the true meaning of love. I think the addition of the unity candle and wine ceremonies brought an element of spirituality to the ceremony that was appreciated by all faiths.You told me to trust you to pick out beautiful vows that would make our ceremony special. You certainly lived up to your promise. I especially appreciated the fact that you sent us a copy of them as a keepsake. You are a true professional who clearly loves what he does. We are so glad that we chose you to play this very special role in our lives. Thank you for a day that was everything we wanted it to be.

Sincerely,

Kim & Bruce Kane

Dear Captain Arnold,

Thank you for making our day as special as you did. I still have people telling us how great and unique our ceremony was. You did such an amazing job. We will always cherish what you did for us.

Love always,

Heather & Kyle

Hello Captain,

Thank you for the nice card. I apologize for not emailing you sooner. Dominic and I are doing well. We are very happy. I wanted to take the time to let you know that you made our day come true. Your service was wonderful. Your kind words and caring thoughts were amazing. My friends and family are still talking about the wonderful job you did. I can honestly say there was not a dry eye in Beckwith Pointe that day. Dominic and I have now been married for 2 great months and I would do it all over again and not make one single change. You are a wonderful man who made our day very beautiful with you kind words. Although we only had a few days we are truly grateful for the wonderful ceremony you performed on that special day of Oct. 5 2007. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!! May you have a Happy New Year!!!!

Sincerely,

Dominic & Yvette Giordano

Hi Captain Arnold,

Emiko and I have received your package with the copy of vows, license and the wonderful picture of the three of us. We couldn’t agree more that the day was “fairy tale” perfect, and so many people commented to us that your ceremony was excellent. My mom thinks you’re the greatest!

You brought a natural solemnity to our wedding, yet kept it light with your gentle humor. Your words of advice to us in the ceremony were wise and well considered. You have an orator’s voice and a stately demeanor. You brought dignity to our affair.

The ceremony itself was beautifully written, and several people told me later that my mom was crying like a baby by the end of it. (so, at last, I finally did something right!) Your Unity Candle Ceremony in our wedding was perfect then and provides us now with a lovely remembrance in the future. Anyone who is at all unsure of whom to have officiated their vows should certainly consider your services.

Well, that’s about it. Thanks a million, Captain. You are the best!

Best Regards,

Mr and Mrs Charles and Emiko Suydam
