YOU’RE INVITED…
To read some accolades of praise!
HAPPY COUPLES POST THEIR FEELINGS AND HEARTFELT THANKS!
NEVER EVER just “let your fingers do the walking.” Recommendations and referrals are by far the best way to select your wedding service providers.
You can visit many beautiful and eloquent venues where you plan to have your ceremony and reception and even taste the food. You can walk into a florist and look at amazing flower arrangements. You can go hear a band play, listen to them on a recording or video, or check out a live DJ. You can look at a photographer or videographer’s work in his studio and some will be happy to come to your home. You can even select your wedding cake from a photograph.
And let’s not forget the selection of the brides wedding dress and the groom’s tuxedo. Just another process that takes place during the planning stages of your wedding day.
You can’t, however, see a wedding officiant perform a ceremony unless you attend an actual wedding. So what’s the next best thing?
It’s simple! I extend to you and your fiancé a very special invitation to read all the warm and heartfelt letters written to me by couples that have experienced my unforgettable ceremony first-hand.
This is the only way you can see why the wedding ceremony I perform
is truly beautiful and unique. My ceremony will become the most important part of your wedding day – I guarantee it!
YOU’RE STILL INVITED…
To read some more accolades of praise that go on and on ….!
HAPPY COUPLES KEEP POSTING THEIR FEELINGS AND HEARTFELT THANKS!
And you can expect even more! Couples and guests that have seen me perform my ceremony at several weddings keep telling me that I’m getting better with age, just like some fine wine!
"We were both speechless when we saw what you sent & the presentation of it."
Dearest Captin Arnold,
Bruce & I just wanted to say thank you to you for the BEAUTIFUL ceremony you performed for us on April 22, 2011. Words can’t say enough about how beautiful the ceremony you performed was. From start to finish it was PERFECT! You have such a gift & we are so blessed to have had you as a part of the most special moment in our lives. From the very time I arrived for the ceremony, you came in my suite & put my mind at ease. You walked me thru every step & made me & the entire bridal party feel so comfortable. All of our friends & family couldn’t say enough about you. You had the married people reminiscing to the day they got married & those who are single day dreaming of their special day to come. The words you spoke will forever echo in our hearts. Thank you so much for making our day so special & giving our guests a unique ceremony experience. Upon returning from our honeymoon, just as you said we had a special package from you. We were both speechless when we saw what you sent & the presentation of it. It will be something we cherish forever. Any one looking for someone to perform their ceremony would be more than lucky to have you. Thank you again for everything!
Love,
Bruce & Jenny Ramsey
"You said everything we wanted you to say and much more."
Dear Grandpa,
When we decided to get married, we knew the true heart and focus for us would be the ceremony. Initially, I felt so honestly overwhelmed by so much of what we laughingly called the “wedding industrial complex” and all the unnecessary distractions and drama that wedding planning unfortunately but inevitably brings. We wanted to stay with the true meaning of the day. We wanted words that merged our two lives and brought eternal symbols and rituals to life in a solemn, but joyous way. We wanted something simple, elegant, and deeply meaningful. And that is exactly what you provided.
As a writer and teacher, I searched through many, many stacks of books trying to find the right words to pledge a lifetime to another person. You told me you had it all set and ready, and not to worry or stress. Finally, I had the faith to believe you and trust your experience and drop my intimidating task. After all, I had seen you perform ceremonies for other couples and each time was wonderful and flawless. I put my books away and left it up to you. I’m glad I did. Your ceremony is just the right balance of humorous and sentimental. It is exactly on the mark.
The funny thing is, many of the words spoken were exactly some of the things I stumbled across and loved the very most. Certain lines of poems and sayings that were exactly what I had found and underlined were weaved together with a masterful touch. It’s really as though you read our minds and found the wise words about the sacred commitment and unparalleled love marriage brings. You did all the work finding the right words so we could simply focus on the experience itself. I am so grateful for that.
You said everything we wanted you to say and much more. Your engaging, rich voice and touching sentiments brought tears of emotion to guests we know well and even to strangers witnessing the truth and beauty of your words. To listen to you speak about love is transformative and resonates with every person present. We were so touched and moved by the magic of your ceremony and so was everyone joining us in a perfect moment of connection and bliss.
We have and we will reflect back often to the meaningful words spoken and revel in the powerful and transformative ceremony you created. You helped us focus on the true purpose of the day: to connect our lives and pause to be grateful and celebrate the love that holds our families together.
Love Always,
Nicole and Josh

"Just wanted to tell you how special you made our Wedding onboard Explorer of the Seas on April 9, 2011."
Dear Captain Arnold, <br<>
Just wanted to tell you how special you made our Wedding onboard Explorer of the Seas on April 9, 2011. The words, vows, and your personal experiences really made for a thoughtful and unforgettable ceremony. You are very talented and provided our guests with a unique, but still, very traditional Wedding ceremony. Joe and I could feel the love you have for your wife in the beautiful words you spoke about the true meaning of marriage.
Your team of coordinators made the room look so elegant with the arrangements of decorations and flowers provided. When I first met with Tammy the morning of the ceremony, my mind was at ease as she went through everything detail by detail to ensure all our requests were met. There is not one thing that did not go smoothly!
Thank you again for a magnificent job, and providing us with our dream come true Wedding.
All the Best,

Dear Captain Arnold,
Heather and I would like to thank-you for performing such a memorable ceremony. We will truly never forget it and you will forever be in our hearts for giving us the ceremony of our dreams. I will always be touched for the way you honored my father. There was not a dry eye in the house including me and Heather. I know he was there in spirit and I’m sure he was quite honored himself. The rose ceremony was beautiful and our mothers still have them as a beautiful memory. Once again, thanks for an extraordinary and beautiful ceremony we will never forget as Heather and I embark on our new lives together.
Sincerely,
Eric & Heather Wagner

Well, where should I start? I know ‘THANK YOU SO MUCH!’ We have been married for five weeks now and we are still smiling, laughing and sharing stories with our friends and family about how wonderful our wedding day was and that is all thanks to you.

Hello Captain Arnold
I have just sent you an email for you to add to your website expressing how grateful we are for the wonderful ceremony.
I can honestly say everything about our wedding day was amazing, the ceremony, the flowers, cake, photographer everything was perfect! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Can you please pass on our thanks to Ashli, she was amazing on the day helping us to make sure we were at the right place and the right time, she was great with the bridesmaids as well especially the younger ones. Please tell her we will be eternally grateful.
I am sorry it has taken me so long to sit down and write this but life has been very hectic and this is the first chance I have had since getting home from NYC.
We have received all the paperwork from you (our marriage certificate, Apostille, a copy of our vows), thank you for organizing and posting it all to us.
Again, thank you so much and we will never forget everything you have done for us. I will be recommending you to everyone I know so don’t be surprised if more people from Glasgow contact you!! ?
Regards
