Dear Captain Arnold, There are no words to thank you enough for making our wedding day a day that we will always remember. You performed a spectacular ceremony for Giorgio and I on February 14,2015 at Vetro in Howard Beach. Your words were so special and romantic to us, and what better day for romance…

Captain Arnold,
Thank you so much for posting the video of our wedding – I’ve only managed to find a few short clips and thought I’d never see the whole thing. If you ever have a moment to send us a copy we could download and save, it would mean the world to us. I don’t mean to be a bother, though, espically after all you’ve done for us on our magical day. Many of those who had been present at the ceremony have since asked for your contact information “just in case”, even a few of our single friends! But that comes as no surprise, really. Despite never having met in person and only speaking once of twice prior to the wedding (and only a couple of days’ notice at that), you somehow knew exactly what to say. You are truly the spirit of New York City personified. No one but you could have improvised so seamlessly- and with such warmth and eloquence- around an expected train delay. We’re amazed by how smoothly everything went… all thanks to you, Captain.
Much Love,
Tanya & Hector

Hello Capt. Arnold:
I want to tell you how much we enjoyed the ceremony you performed for us, but I am afraid that my words will fall short of just how wonderful it was for us and our guests. Your words were beautiful, yet not stuffy. You kept an elegant sense of humor that delighted us and our family and friends. We feel that if we had not had you as our officiant, that we would have missed out big time. We are so blessed you were there for us!!! As we said, we could go on and on about all the details you took care of and the beauty of the ceremony, but how does one draw a magnificent painting without a brush and a canvas? We got so many compliments about you from our guests, it was like “where did you find him” “He was awesome” “His comments are so poignant, sincere, and he touched us; not just any old boring ceremony”, “this was all top notch from the moment we got to the cruise terminal”. As you can read Capt. Arnold, the comments speak for themselves, John and I will never forget you…in fact we have you on video forever. We are so fortunate to have you bless our marriage. Thank you for being there and for being you, we couldn’t have wanted for more.
Please convey a special thank you to Tammie and the two other coordinators. Tammie kept me sane during all the proceedings at the terminal, knowing she was in control gave me a lot of comfort and eased my “bridal nerves”. She was awesome all the way. A couple of our guests want to recognize Melissa (I think that was her name). She did a special favor for one of our guests that was cruising with us and he was so extremely grateful that he kept telling everyone how terrific she was and what a great person she was in how she treated him. He wants her to get a promotion whatever that means in your world. Please make sure to convey our gratitude.
I know now why you are so well known out there, but let me tell you that you are also now very well known and loved in my inner circle.
Thank you again. John and I got lucky twice, once we met each other and then when we met you.
With sincere love and gratitude,
John and Maria Aschenbach

Dearest Captain, Christina and the rest of Nautical Weddings & the Skyline Cruise Staff,
My apologies for the delay in sending this as we are still in our “honeymoon” period. So we’re just getting back into the swing of things.
We’re not sure where to begin except of course to say THANK YOU so very much for giving us an amazing wedding on the Skyline Princess last Saturday evening (9/27/14). I don’t think we could have asked for anything better. It was sublime in almost every aspect. The ceremony was perfect and exactly what we wanted. My guests were entertained to the max! The food was great and the staff well trained. You were attentive and understanding with our accommodations and we are grateful that you were able to provide us with such a beautiful memory that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We are so happy!
Captain Arnold, we personally thank you for allowing us to host our wedding on the Skyline Princess and for providing us with such a wonderful service that Stephon and I are still running over in our heads. It was fantastic! We paid attention to your words as you recommended and we are so glad that we did. Thank you also for making our mothers feel so special and for accommodating our family’s requests. Thanks also for providing your cute magic tricks during the event. My guests are still talking about how charming you were and how amazing everything was during the event.
Christina, a special note to you as you were incredible. Thank you for your patience, you kindness, your professionalism, your consistent communication and for your undivided attention to our needs. You did your job above and beyond our expectations. I know that we had countless requests for you and you seemed to have had few issues accommodating them. Thank you for your kind and sweet demeanor, but also showing us just how professional you are and how well you know how to do your job. We will cherish you in our memory. Nautical Weddings and the Skyline is lucky to have you.
We will certainly recommend you to others and we hope Skyline Cruises and Nautical Weddings continues to do well and prosper.
Job well done folks. We can’t wait to see the pictures! All the best to you.
Love,
Gina and Stephon
