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

Dear Captain Arnold,

Firstly we apologize for not writing to you sooner.

Thank you for making our special day so extra special. The ceremony you conducted was really wonderful and touching. The inclusion of Patti’s mom in the Rose Ceremony meant such a lot to all of us. What you organized for us was just what we wanted and we had a truly memorable day. Everyone enjoyed themselves very much.

Also thank you very much for the copy of our vows and the photo that you sent us, they are a lovely memento of the day and a reminder of what we said to each other.

Thanks again.
Best wishes,

Patti & Nick

Dear Captain Arnold,

Thank you so much for giving us a wedding day we will cherish forever! So many people have let me know how much they enjoyed the ceremony. You touched the hearts of everyone present.

All the best,
Ellie & Steven Deyoe

Hello Captain,

I just wanted to let you know that we did receive the package you sent, and I can’t tell you how happy I was that you included the vows we spoke, being that we didn’t have a video to play back, the one thing I did want to have were the words that you spoke that made my big guy cry! I have only seen tears like that one other time in our ten years together, and they were nowhere near the strength that your words evoked. I thank you! I also will include a full letter that you can post to your site within the week.

Thank you so much again, and I will always be thankful for you. More than you will ever know!

Love – Angela

Hello Captain Arnold,

I wanted to send you this letter of gratitude for the beautiful ceremony you performed for us and our family on the Skyline Princess. I don’t even know if I could find the appropriate words for how you made all of us feel that day. Your words and humor touched not only John and I, but also our sons and daughter-in-laws, who were all married just recently themselves. When I saw their hands reach for each other, and tears flow from my husband’s eyes, for the 1st time ever, I couldn’t help but feel the overwhelming feeling of love in the room, and could not contain the tears myself, either . From the moment we saw the Trumpeter Swan upon entering the ship, to the personalized details you gave in not only the ceremony words, but the dedication to those who could not be present, to one of my favorite songs in the whole world, and the cake you had made for us in our colors. You surprised us tremendously with your magic at our table, and the making of the pearl poodles for all the ladies was one of my favorite parts. You made our night truly special! I can’t believe how much you touched all of us at that ceremony that night, especially John, who I have never seen tears from before. Your words had a huge impact on him, and he will never forget you. I, personally, will always be thankful to you for all you have given us through wisdom, and words of love. You truly are a unique man, and I thank you a million times over!! May God Bless you and all you do in the name of love, and may your wife also know how very lucky she is to have a man such as you are! Many Blessings to you and your family!

Love,

Angela and John (Ben,Kristen / Justin, Kristine)

Thanks Captain Arnold!!! What a nice surprise.

It’s been 7 months and 12 days since our wedding and we still think of that evening every day. Your ceremony was the perfect fit and it fulfilled my dream of marrying my beautiful Anna aboard a ship, with her childern and mine all together, and a very special Captain.

Thanks once again and may God bless you and yours…
Steve & Anna Barry

Dear Captain Arnold and crew:

I am in writing you this to thank you all for your participation in making my daughter and son-in-laws wedding truly a dream come true.

I have never been to a wedding nor heard of a wedding in which the Bride and Groom, family and friends have expressed to me how wonderful a time they had. Your set up of the wedding chapel was very nice and my daughter looked stunning walking down the aisle. I loved it when you told Vincent to go get his bride! The ceremony was very well done.

As far as the reception, you and your crew did an outrageous job in decorating with my daughter’s colors, red and white along with the food and cake, it was all superb! My sincere thanks go out to your bridal coordinator Allison as well. She was right there making sure the bride and groom were guided into each event and she took care of my needs as well. She was fabulous.

The excitement of the wedding and the cruise along the New York skyline and seeing the wonderful Statue of Liberty just put this wedding over the top. I have been talking about my daughter’s wedding since her special day and I would highly recommend the Skyline Princess Cruise Line.

Dear Captain Arnold,

Nicole, Corinna and I would like to thank you for this unforgettable day. The wedding, you and your ceremony, the Skyline dinner cruise and the skyline of New York will always be in our memories. Your words truly expressed our feelings for each other. Since the child ceremony was part of our wedding Corinna was also very touched and she still talks about you (and your magic tricks during our dinner). We also want to thank Amy and the entire crew for making this the most wonderful day of our lives.

Dear Captain Arnold,

Rich and I just got back from our honeymoon and we couldn’t wait to thank you for the wonderful wedding ceremony you performed for us. We were deeply touched by your beautifully spoken words. Your words were so sincere and put so eloquently. The vows were lovely and heartfelt. We sincerely thank you for making our wedding day so special and meaningful and one that we will always cherish.

Love,

Sandy & Rich Walker

Hi Captain Arnold!

Scott and I would like to thank you for the lovely wedding ceremony. We were really touched by your heartfelt words. Our guests told us it was the best wedding they have ever witnessed. From day one you were always just an email or a phone call away which worked well with our busy schedule. You assured us we would have a fairytale wedding and you were on point! Thanks again for being there and thank you for the memorable ceremony!

Also, please tell Amy we appreciate everything she did for us on our special day.

Dear Captain Arnold,

It has taken us a while to write this letter, but we could not go on without expressing our immense gratitude to you and the Skyline Princess crew.

Everything that was said in our agreement was completed flawlessly throughout the wedding. Our guests, family members and we enjoyed the most lovely and exclusive ceremony ever. The cake was marvelous and delicious. The crew had a pleasant manner at all times. My bouquet was gorgeous, and every single detail of the wedding was better than we’d dreamed of.

All the nervous tension I was feeling, went away when I got to the ship and realized you had everything under control.

We would also like to express our appreciation to Allison. I was almost in tears when I got the Skyline 2 hours late and without my wedding gown! Allison took the time to calm me down with her comfort words and a scotch on the rocks! She is definitely the greatest personal coordinator in the world! Everything I’d ever dreamed of about how my wedding would be was possible thanks to you. We are proud to say our wedding was absolutely perfect. And I can assure you that everyone that shared this special day with us feels the same way.

Lastly, we wanted to let you know that you were and always will be a very important person in our lives. Your name is even in our wedding certificate! I hope one day we will see each other again, perhaps for our first Anniversary? Who knows?

With sincere love,

Alfie and Milennath

P.S. We loved the package you sent us. It was the very first wedding picture we received.

Hi Captain Arnold!

Michael and I wanted to thank you for marrying us on Valentine’s Day aboard the Skyline Princess . The ceremony was wonderful. Everyone kept commenting on how beautiful your words were.

We are so happy that we decided to go with the “child’s ceremony”. Including the kids in the ceremony meant so much to all of us. Our daughter was especially touched that she was moved to tears of happiness, which of course made me cry…and there you were prepared with the tissues!

Thank you for everything!
Melissa and Michael Gurdineer

Dear Captain Arnold,

Adam and I would like to thank you for marrying us and performing a ceremony that we will never forget. The vows that we exchanged were so touching that I didn’t think I was going to be able to say my vows because I was so moved. But then you threw in some humor, the wallet, and the bagel,and then everyone started laughing, that was perfect! Many of my guests came to me after the ceremony saying how wonderful it was. The sand ceremony was very beautiful as well as that will always be a reminder of our special day. Thank you again for making my special day even more memorable, and thank you of course for the beautiful ceremony.

Love,
Gina and Adam

Captain Arnold,

Over a year ago, we placed our faith in you as planning a wedding in New York while residing in Atlanta would be a great challenge. From the first time we spoke, you promised the day would come fast and that you would make our special day a wonderful and almost stress free event. You not only fulfilled your promises, you exceeded all of our wildest dreams for our special day. Your wedding package left us with very little to do besides showing up ready to express our love for each other.

Family and friends from all over the country were greatly touched by your caring presentation and the fine entertainment you provided throughout the evening. It was an evening filled with lots of love, tears of joy, great sites of the New York skyline and tons of laughter. We set forth on our honeymoon knowing that as a newly married couple, we made our first of many lifelong decisions correctly.

The ceremony, special recognitions and vows were delivered with such warmth, meaning and class…your words elevated us to a level we have never experienced before…simply a heavenly dream come true.

We will always remember you as special member of our family.

Mr. & Mrs. Haskins

Dear Captain Arnold,

Thank you for giving us a wedding ceremony that was everything you promised. Our wedding vows were as touching as they were true. You helped us to speak from the heart and to the heart. Our guests told us that ours was the best ceremony they have ever witnessed.

The tribute you spoke for Bonifacio’s mom and family who shared in this special event from the Phillipines helped to bridge our family together. All this aboard the Skyline Princess that came face to face with the Statue of Liberty on a misty eve gave us a dream we will treasure for all time!

Warm Regards,
Amelia and Bonifacio Makinano

Dear Capt. Arnold,

Carlton and I just wanted to thank you for providing us with a truly wonderful and special day. You made the occasion so special with your heartfelt and poignant words during the ceremony, that we will likely never forget them. The atmosphere was so romantic. Our wedding cake was so beautiful not to mention very delicious. The music was great. All our family and friends thought the idea of having our wedding on a ship to be unique and everyone had a great time. Thank you again.

With warmest sincerity,
Carlton & Regina Brown
