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.

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 religous 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

The most amazing cermony ever!!! Did the best job, all our guests are still talking about how great it was. I would do it all over again with captain arnold!!!!

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 officiate 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

Jeff and I just got back from Bermuda to find the package you sent waiting for us. Thank you so much for performing our wedding ceremony. It was a beautiful day that we will always cherish. I can’t wait to frame the copy of the vows and display it with the photo you sent. Everyone is still going on about how lovely the ceremony was. Your words made a huge impact not only on us but also friends and family who have been happily married for years. You inspired a few couples I know of to renew their own vows in the upcoming months. I will always cherish our wedding day, thank you so much for being a part of it. It truly was the perfect day, it was everything we wanted and even more than we hoped for. The day went by so quickly, a lot of it is a blur but I know I will always remember every word you spoke and every moment of the ceremony and most importantly, every vow that was said. Thank you for making it so special, and personal.

“Captain Arnold really got to know us, and why we were getting married. We never felt like a number or just another client. He and I had several long phone conversations, he really wanted to know who we were. The ceremony was beautiful, poolside in our backyard. It really felt like each word spoken was picked specialy for us. There wasn’t anything that made it feel impersonal or routine. He either had our friends and family laughing or crying happy tears, everyone felt involved in the ceremony as oposed to just watching. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Captain Arnold. He turned my best friend into my husband, I’ll always be thankful for that. As long as I live, everytime I look at my husband’s wedding ring, I’ll always laugh about how he joked it was so big it looked like a bagel. You can’t go wrong with Captain Arnold, I can’t say enough good things about him.”

Hi Captain Arnold:

We have received your package this week after we returned from our honeymoon. Thank you! The decision of having you to perform our wedding ceremony was truely no regret. Irving & I appreciated your thoughtful time of putting our wedding vows together. You had certainly made our wedding ceremony as like “Fairy tale” and this will always be in my wonderful memories that I can later tell our children or grand children. Thank you!

Warm Regards,
Elaine & Irving Lee
