Married at The Gatsby (Islip, New York)
Dear Captain Arnold,
We can’t begin to express our gratitude to you for performing such a memorable wedding ceremony for us on April 8th at The Gatsby in Islip.
Since this was the second marraige for both of us, we began our search for a Chaplain not really knowing where to go or what to expect. We knew we wanted it to be special, and were very pleasantly surprised at how wonderful it all was!! The vows we spoke touched everyone in the room. You made everything so personal, serious and lighthearted all at the same time. Our family and friends have not stopped commenting about how wonderful the ceremony was. Many guests had never heard of or seen the sand ceremony and were so delighted by it’s simplicity and the depth of it’s meaning. Our wedding day was truly a day to cherish and it was made all the more special by having you as our Chaplain.
With sincere thanks,
Karen & Charles LaCarrubba

Dear Captain Arnold,
Jeremy and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for doing such a beautiful and professional job. Your ceremony was unmatched in beauty and depth and was like no other that I have ever seen. It made our wedding day as unique and special as it was. It was a pleasure dealing with you: meeting you at the diner, your sense of humor, your professionalism, your kind, caring attitude and your availability to us at any time. You also have a wonderful voice!
You made sure everything was just right. From the moment I stepped out of the limo on that rainy afternoon, you were right there to help me out with a reassuring arm telling me "I'm here" and to "Hold your dress all the way up" and out of the rain. You even had a little packet of tissues ready which came in handy, since I never thought I was going to cry but of course ended up bawling by the end of the touching Mother's Ceremony.
Your words made us think, laugh, and cry and got the celebation off to a most beautiful start. Our family all commented about the beautiful ceremony. The packet you sent soon after, with the printed wedding vows, marriage licesce copy and photos was wonderful. We will cherish these memories forever.
Again, thank you for making our day so special. We will be keeping in touch…
With much love,
Gabriella & Jeremy Lehmann

Dear Captain Arnold,
Thank you so much!! Our ceremony was perfect and a lot of married friends did tell me your words made them think of their own marriage. When you did the tribute to my uncle Alexander, my aunt was so touched she cried. The tribute and salute you did to all the military guests was beautiful and the applause you received was wonderful.
Thank you for everything!

Dear Captain Arnold,
A simple thank you does not do your services justice!
We were incredibly thrilled with your time and attention to detail. We wanted something different and you were perfect for the nautical theme, but your ceremony stole the show. Your words were incredibly profound and true for the both of us.
Many of our guests commented on your words and how special the ceremony was!
Thank you everything – your time to answer questions, your attention to detail, and for your amazing words and sentiment.
Thank you,
Caitlin & David Collins

We returned late last night and already received your beautiful package in the mail along with a separate envelope from New York with our official marriage certificate. We can’t thank you enough for the beautiful ceremony and perfect day. We can’t wait to see more pictures and video so we can relive every moment. Hope you are having a great weekend! 🙂

Hi Captain Arnold,
My husband Phillip and I will like to thank Captain Arnold for an amazing ceremony. We learned about Captain Arnold because he was highly recommended by our venue. When I spoke to Captain Arnold on the phone for the first time, I knew that he had to be our officiant. Captain Arnold has a powerful and welcoming voice, which I felt is perfect for leading our wedding ceremony. Captain Arnold stayed in touch with us throughout the process and was easily reachable by email and phone. He even called us the week of the wedding to ensure we had everything we need for the ceremony. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and definitely one of my favorite parts of the wedding. The vows were beautiful and encompassed our thoughts. Captain Arnold did a great tribute to my deceased mother, which meant a great deal to my family and I. But I have to say one thing that I loved the most is that Captain Arnold’s words really resonated with Phillip. The other day, Phillip said to me “Don’t forget that Captain Arnold said never go to bed angry”. I highly recommend Captain Arnold to anyone looking for the perfect officiant.
