Robert Loo wrote a review on Facebook about Nautical Wedding Bells & Captain Arnold:

Captain Arnold was the best! He was a huge highlight of our secular James Bond wedding and his speech about love and devotion nearly brought everyone to tears. We would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks again Captain!

Sincerely
Jennifer & Robert Loo

Dear Captain Arnold,
We’re back and settling into some type of normalcy…I must tell you we’ve received phone calls and cards from family members telling us what a beautiful ceremony we had and how nice and touching it was to include the children in ceremony.  This is exactly what we were looking for.  Thank you again, for performing such a beautiful and touching ceremony that conveyed the message of family and unity.

Thanks again for everything.  We would highly recommend you to anyone planning a future wedding.  I’m sure we’ll see you next May at Tarayn and Kevin’s wedding.

Jomarie and Chris Pasterak

Dear Captain Arnold:

Trevor and I can’t thank you enough for the beautiful ceremony that you performed for us on our wedding day.  Your thoughtful words really helped to bring out the love that we feel.  Thank you also for sending us pictures and a copy of our vows.  After the honeymoon, I read the copy, and the words moved me to tears just as they did during the ceremony.  Indeed, they captured everything we feel for each other and everything that a perfect marriage should be.  Many of our wedding guests have told us that it was the most beautiful ceremony that they have ever witnessed.

Finally, thank you for mentioning all of the people that mean so much to us but were unable to be with us to share our special day and for paying tribute to my heritage by reciting the prayer in Hebrew during the wine ceremony.  Your kindness and sincerity have helped to make a special day even more meaningful and wonderful than we could have ever hoped for.  When we look back on the experience we will always feel grateful for having you there with us.

Best wishes and lots of love,
Tina and Trevor Evan

Dear Captain Arnold,

Thank you so much for performing our ceremony at the Crescent Beach Club. It was a perfect expression of love for the start of our lives together. Everyone keeps commenting on how great our ceremony was. The sand ceremony was also very fitting. We thank you again for your wonderful words of love and commitment.

Thank you,
Amanda & Jed Herman

Dear Captain Arnold,
First things first! THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU. Chuck and I feel so blessed to have had you perform our beautifully personalized wedding ceremony.  We feel as if we had a “friend” marry us. The time and thoughtfulness that you put into our ceremony really “shined” on our wedding day. We so appreciate all the “touch base” e-mails and phone calls and the wonderful and fun meeting we had with you 2 weeks prior to the wedding. You touched our hearts with your genuine interest in making our special day perfect. Everyone raved about our ceremony and how unique and extraordinary the “Child’s Ceremony” portion was. Andrew was very proud to be involved in the ceremony and it made him feel very special. Our wedding ceremony was the perfect way to start our new life together, and you saw to every detail and helped to create a day we will always remember with smiles on our faces.
Our Warmest Regards,

Dr. and Mrs. Charles Davidowitz
P.S. Thank-you for the beautiful copy of our wedding vows that you sent us.

Captain Arnold,

Ireny and I just wanted too take the time to thank you for the wonderful ceremony, you delivered as advertised, touching the hearts and minds of our guests, Ireny and I are very grateful that you took the time to be patient and thoughtful with our special requests. Many of our guests commented on how beautiful the ceremony was, and of course, as you noticed, my Mother was very much touched by the beautiful words spoken of her during the Rose Ceremony, thank you for making our ceremony and day memorable for all.

Thanks
Phil & Ireny

Dear Captain Arnold,

Mike and I want to thank you for making our wedding perfect. Of course, I knew that we were in good hands when I first spoke to you on the phone–when Mike was still a skeptic–and then when we met for the first time at the Border’s Bookstore downtown. After just a few minutes, we both knew you were the person we wanted to perform our wedding ceremony. I loved that you kept in touch with us over the months with notes about other weddings you’d done because it made me feel like you were thinking about us and our upcoming ceremony.

Just before the flurry of activity started for our wedding weekend, you called to touch base and make sure that we were feeling good and confident. You offered yourself as a sounding board if we needed it and said to call if we needed you for any reason. We didn’t call, but it was so comforting to know that you were there willing to listen.

Then, July 3rd arrived. Lucky us! It was the most beautiful day July had ever known in New York City. You were at The Torch Club on time with kind words for everyone. I loved that you took my mother aside and spoke to her for a few minutes. That meant a lot to her. You were so organized and calm before the ceremony took place–a true professional that knows how to keep others at ease! And, please don’t forget, that you are responsible for the wedding rings actually being at the ceremony–Mike forgot them at the hotel! Luckily, you asked him if he had them and there was enough time for him to go all the way back to midtown and return downtown with time to spare. Good thinking on your part! (Thanks!)

The ceremony itself was great!! In fact, everyone talked about you. They (and we) liked that you talked about the practicalities of love and life together. Mike appreciated the fact that when he was saying his vows and starting to get teary, you told that joke about his wallet. It made him laugh, which he said made it possible for him to finish his vows without incident (he didn’t want to cry).

So, in conclusion, choosing you was the best choice we could have made. Every time we talk about our wedding with people who were there, inevitably we hear about how great “the captain” was. Because of you, we heard that our wedding was the best wedding our friends have ever been to more than once–keep in mind that we’re in our mid 30s, so that means something!! Thank you so much for being there and doing such a fantastic job. We couldn’t have asked for more.

With great appreciation,
Liz & Mike Sosa

Bruce and I want to thank you so much for making our wedding so special.  The service was the highlight of the evening.  There wasn’t a dry eye in the house!  We loved including the children and our mothers.  It made the ceremony so special.  All of our friends have called and said that this is the first wedding that they have ever been to where they heard every word that was spoken and took them all to heart.  Usually you are looking at your watch waiting for the ceremony to end.  That didn’t happen on Saturday.

We know our situation was a little unique and the format was as well.  That alone made it special.  Your contribution only heightened the emotional impact for everyone.  It was a magical evening!

As soon as we have pictures we will forward them to you.

Until then, thank you again.

With warmest regards,
Lisa and Bruce Clark
