Dear Captain Arnold; You made our wedding day the most beautiful and stress free, we could not have found a better person to perform the ceremony. Everyone absolutely raved about the ceremony and how different it was from any wedding they had previously attended. The special touches you added made it even more so special….

Married at the “Milleridge Inn” (Jericho, NY)
Dear Captain Arnold,
Michael and I returned from our honeymoon and got caught up with the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, and just realized we hadn’t thanked you yet for providing us with the most beautiful, meaningful and unforgetable ceremony one can ever imagine. Our married guests keep telling us they felt like they were renewing their own vows all over again. The words chosen to express the commitment, your personal touches, our vows, all set the tone for a successful reception following the ceremony. We could feel the warmth and love everywhere in the reception room. Thank you again, for making our special day, truly special. You made a great impact on the whole ceremony that our family and friends will never forget.
Michael and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a holiday season filled with joy and delight for you, and those you love, and the best of everything in the coming year.
Thank you,
Michael and Louise Regan
P.S.We just loved the picture taken of the three of us. Feel free to post it on the website together with our comments.

Dear Captain Arnold –
We wanted to tell you ‘thank you’ again for making our day extra special (10/30/11).
I hadn’t been told by the wedding ‘people’ who would be performing our ceremony and quite frankly, I had some concerns. Those concerns were quickly swept away when you arrived at the pier and took charge of us – I couldn’t dream up anything to be concerned about because you took care of everything (exactly what a bride, of any age, needs)!
Your words couldn’t have been more perfect – and the vows we exchanged might have been written by us, as they were so perfect and full of meaning.
Thank you for having tissues, too 🙂
Our honeymoon cruise was wonderful and over too soon. When we arrived in port this past Sunday, I was feeling very melancholy that it was over. When I put my coat on I reached in the pocket and found the little blue bead dog you had made to entertain (distract) us. All I could do was smile about the very special memories we have from our special day.
I named the ‘bead dog’ Capt Arnold, by the way, and he has a place of honor in our china cabinet.
Thank you again!

Hi there Captain,
I wanted to thank you again, very much for the ceremony that you did for us. We were very blessed to have you do it and the sand ceremony meant a lot to both of us. It was an amazing day, with an amazing ceremony. Also, thank you again for asking Rich if we could use the fishing station. It was a unique location, which as I mentioned the other day, fit us very well and with Brandon’s history was very appropriate. I also wanted to send you a few of the pictures that we got, if you’d like physical copies of them let me know and I’ll mail them to you as well, but for now, here are a few that are attached. =)
Thank you again so much

Hello Captain,
Thank you so much for performing such a wonderful ceremony. Although it was a blustery fall day on the beach, you warmed everyone’s hearts with your kind words and wisdom. It truly was such a beautiful ceremony! Your commanding presence and the waves and wind really made quite an impact on everyone there (including the seagulls hovering over the water, riding the wind.)
Everytime I think about it I tear up!!! My friends and family loved you! I really appreciated how organized and helpful you were before and after the event. You kept everything together while I was a nervous bride!!
I would also like to thank you for all the helpful information and documentation you sent along after the wedding as well.
You will always have a very special place in our hearts.
Love,
Carol & Michael Nofi

Dear Captain Arnold,
Brian and I both wanted to thank you so very much for the beautiful wedding ceremony you officiated for us on September 23, 2011 on the Cloud 9 III. We thought you were just wonderful. Your words were lovely and you made our day an absolute joy. I also thought you were very funny which fit perfectly with my family. I will never forget the moment when you asked who gives this woman away and you had my mom’s and dad yell at the top of their lungs “We do” It was just so wonderful and fun. I thought all the ceremonies were beautiful including the rose ceremony and sand ceremony. It really included everyone and all my guests laughed and cried throughout the entire ceremony. Many people said it was the most fun they had at a wedding ever. Thank you so much for your heart felt words about love and also for giving us a little insight to who you are and how your marriage has been successful. You made the ceremony personal even though we had just met. Thank you again for everything you did to make our wedding ceremony beautiful. We will definitely recommend you to anyone we know getting married in NYC.
All our love and thanks.

Dear Captain Arnold,
We’d both like to thank you for the beautiful wedding ceremony you performed for us aboard the Skyline Princess. The wedding experience was everything you promised us it would be. Many of our guests have said it was the best wedding they had ever been to, they were also very impressed by your magic tricks after dinner, which was also excellent.
We’d like to thank you for taking care of all the arrangements and ensuring the evening ran smoothly. When we first spoke on the phone you said all we had to do was turn up with our marriage license, you’d organise everything else, and you were true to your word.
Thanks once again,
Stephen and Fiona Glass.

Dear Uncle Arnie,
John and I would like to sincerely thank you for performing our marriage ceremony. We were both very nervous but your words were soothing and inspiring. We remember speaking with you beforehand and your advice was to simply listen to my words and while we were up there you made it easy to do that. All of our friends and family could not stop talking about how wonderful your ceremony was and how it made them laugh at times but also touched them deeply. It was special for us to have a family member play such an important role on our wedding day. We also really appreciate your timeliness in getting our marriage certificate processed – we received it not even two weeks later! Thank you again for everything!
Love,
Melissa and John

Dear Captain,
We would like to thank you so much for the unforgettable wedding we have had thank’s to your tenacity. Without your efforts, we were probably unable to have the “highest” wedding of Manhattan!
This day on the 86TH floor of the Empire State Building will stay in our mind as one of the best souvenir in our life.
We have dreamed it, you did it !
Thank you again and hopefully see you soon…

Married at the “Larkfield Manor” (East Northport, NY)
Captain Arnold:
We wanted to send this email to you to say thank you so much for making our wedding day as special as it was. Your whole presentation blew away our audience. You made our parents so proud and the rose ceremony with our mothers was a complete surprise and honor for both of them. Out of the 140 people we had attend the wedding, 140 of them praised your dedications, presentation, and demeanor. We knew from the day we met you at the Bayside Diner that you would do a great job, what we did not know was that you would do such a great job that everyone at the wedding would be raving about you after they watched the vows. Thank you for filing ever so quickly as well, we had the marriage license within 7 days of the wedding which was a big help since having that is what enables you to switch all of your documentation when changing your name. You made us proud to have chosen you, and to have gotten to know you.
We wish you nothing but the best in the future, and we will never forget how you made our day just that much more special. I will not hesitate to refer you to anyone I know going through the same process in the future. I also know you did such a wonderful job that everyone who was lucky enough to have witnessed it will also recommend you in the future as well. God Bless.
Sincerely,
Keith and Blair Cassagio

Captain,
Carl and I want to thank you for the beautiful ceremony, which, as many people commented, has also just the right amount of humor to lighten things up. Many of our guests commented on how lovely the ceremony was! Luckily, since Carl and I were so nervous that day, his daughter had videoed and recorded it, so that we could again here your words and our vows.
Thanks again!

It was truly something we will always remember! We have been told by our friends and loved ones that we had a beautiful ceremony.

Thank you for everything!
