Dear Captain Arnold,

We wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything that you’ve done for us to provide us with our perfect wedding!

Having a big wedding wasn’t something that we were really interested in. We looked into many different ideas, but it is extremely difficult to find something accommodating for just to the two of us but at the same time still feel special and unique. When we came across your website we couldn’t have been more excited!

You offered us everything we wanted and more, and New York City is our favorite city, so it truly couldn’t have been more perfect!

We still can’t believe how easy and smooth the entire process was! Thanks to you, we never stressed about one single detail! You were always available to answer any questions, and you offered us many wonderful suggestions to make our wedding day more personal and special.

When the day finally came, we were SO excited! Everything went perfectly! Your ceremony was beautiful, and your words of love were truly touching. We will remember them for the rest of our lives. We are so happy that we did the sand ceremony. We put the vase on our mantle, in our home, and it will always be a reminder of our love, new lives together, and of course our wedding day!

Both you and the staff on the Princess Cruise Ship made sure that we had everything we needed so that we had the best night ever! And for that we are truly grateful! We wouldn’t have changed a single thing.

Thank you again, Captain Arnold, for making our wedding day one of the best days of our lives!

Sincerely,

Coury and Nicole Badnell

Dear Captain Arnold,

Andras and I wanted to thank you for helping to make our wedding such a wonderful occasion!
It truly meant a lot to Andras and I that you, Captain Arnold, officiated our wedding.
You took the time to get to know us and as a result, the ceremony was perfect. We will always
remember the kind words you said and how comfortable you made us feel on the big day when
we were already excited and anxious.

So many people commented on how much they liked our wedding Officiant.
(And the memorable magic tricks he performed!) You helped us so much in making sure that we had all the details covered. We so appreciate everything you did. Please, confer our special thanks to the lovely Christina, your wedding coordinator who made sure that every aspect of the event was attended to. She is a true professional with exceptional attention to details.

We are happy to serve as a reference for you any time you need us to. Feel free to have people to contact us. Thank you so much again for helping to make our wedding perfect!

Captain Arnold,

Thank you so very much for helping us coordinate such an amazing wedding ceremony. You have been wonderful throughout this entire process and a pleasure to work with. We have looked forward to this day for a very long time and could not ask for a better person to marry us. Please be sure to know additionally, that the staff and service was amazing and the cake was incredible! I am a lucky girl as I got to celebrate marrying the love of my life in a celebration and setting that left absolutely nothing to desire. I hope we do cross paths again! Keep doing what you do, because not only are you great at it, but the testimony of your own marriage is truly inspirational.

We are home now and getting settled in but wanted to take a moment to again say thank you so very much for performing a beautiful wedding ceremony for us. Everything was beautiful and perfect and we could not ask for more. We are honored to have had you officiate our marriage in the amazing setting surrounding us. Once the unpacking is complete we will be going to your website to add a very positive testimonial to the collection. You’re an amazing person Sir, and we are so grateful to have found you! God bless you and Thank You!!! We are blessed to have found you.

With Sincerest Thanks,
Bryan and Jaime Christensen

About the photographer you referred to us:

NEVER let him get away. He was so great. He was so professional but felt almost like a friend at the same time. He gave us an enormous amount of information about all of the sights we sailed past and cracked me up if Bryan pulled out his cell phone, because he would tell him to put it away. He’s been married for a while himself so he knows what the wife wants! He made the experience that much better. Such a nice person, just like you and all of the staff, truly from the bottom of my heart!!!

Sincerely,
Jaime Christensen

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

Capt Arnold is the best,I put him through hell and he is a very patient man, our wedding was great! Every thing went very well, I have spoken to capt. Arnold a few times, and he is the kind of man you wish you had a reason to call him just to talk to him again. Thank you capt Arnold for you, your crew and the time we spent together.

Rich Corbett

Dear Captain Arnold,

Thank you.

Although these two words are small, please know the gratitude and appreciation they carry are mountainous. With your guidance, patience and advice, our day was truly magical.

From the first time I spoke with you, you were such an extremely big help. You were always available to meet with us or to talk with us and to help us. Time and again you put my worries and fears at ease, especially during our most stressful times. Your assistance in arranging all the extras that go along with planning ones big day (and after) is truly appreciated. Our wedding ceremony was beautiful.

The vows we exchanged, although not traditional, were perfect and I would not have wanted them said any different. We are truly blessed to have had such a wonderful wedding day and to have someone as wonderful as you to officiate and be a part of.

Again, thank you for everything.

Love Mr.& Mrs.Bryan and Ann Carroll

Hello Captain Arnold,

Sorry I’m so late on writing you. Thank you so much you and Christina was amazing. Christina went above and beyond expectation. Your ceremony was so beautiful my family is still ranting about it. I received the pictures about a week ago and they were wonderful. I just loved the slide show. Once again thank you so much.

Letoya & Brian

Hi Captain Arnold,

Joe and I just want to thank you for making our special day extra special for us. As we already knew you were the best choice for us to make our day so special. We were so touched by the personalized ceremony you prepared for us. It was a day we will never forget and it was all because you made it happen! We are truly grateful from the bottom of our hearts for knowing you. We can’t say enough to tell you how happy you made our day!

God Bless you, you are a dear and wondeful person!
Mr. & Mrs. Joseph DeIeso

Dear: Captain Arnold,

Thank you for making the day May 2nd, 2014 so wonderful. Our special day; our wedding day would not have been that complete and successful without your support and love. We truly appreciate your time and effort and we would like to thank you for the beautiful ceremony you performed for me and German.

I would like to also thank you for your patience and keeping me calm since we were so late. My guests loved the wedding ceremony and everything came out as I dreamed. These words are not enough to describe how thankful and happy we are for choosing you to do our ceremony.

Thank you,
Maria & German

Hi Captain Arnold!

Thank you so much for letting us know about the NY Times article and video- I loved it! I loved the video the most, especially since we could not afford a videographer so this totally makes up for it 🙂

Alex and I wanted to both thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have done for us. We could not have imagined a better person to work with and to officiate our ceremony. You made our ceremony the perfect blend of love, fun, and celebration that we had envisioned from the very beginning. And even after, your magic and presence during the cruise entertained our guests and cemented our decision to have you be a part of our special day. If I could tell any of my friends or family getting married that are looking for an officiant, I wouldn’t even think twice about telling them to talk to you!

Feel free to use that on your site as you wish – any couples I can steer your way, I am happy with 🙂
Be well, and thanks again!
Best,

Alex & Holly Colón

Dear Captain Arnold,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the picture you sent and for the beautiful speech you gave me at the ceremony. Everyone of my guest including my husband and I, enjoyed it to the fullest.
Well done.

Beth & Raymond

Dear Capt. Arnold

Many of our guests said how very personal and intimate the ceremony was. You and your staff did a remarkable job entertaining and attending to us and our guests.. Thank you again for a day we will never forget!

Felicia & Stacey
