Hi Captain Arnold,
Emiko and I have received your package with the copy of vows, license and the wonderful picture of the three of us. We couldn’t agree more that the day was “fairy tale” perfect, and so many people commented to us that your ceremony was excellent. My mom thinks you’re the greatest!
You brought a natural solemnity to our wedding, yet kept it light with your gentle humor. Your words of advice to us in the ceremony were wise and well considered. You have an orator’s voice, and a stately demeanor. You brought dignity to our affair.
The ceremony itself was beautifully written, and several people told me later that my mom was crying like a baby by the end of it. (so at last I finally did something right!) Your Unity Candle Ceremony in our wedding was perfect then and provides us now with a lovely remembrance in the future. Anyone who is at all unsure of whom to have officiate their vows, should certainly consider your services.
Well, that’s about it. Thanks a million, Captain. You are the best!
Best Regards,
Mr and Mrs Charles and Emiko Suydam

Hi Captain Arnold:
We have received your package this week after we returned from our honeymoon. Thank you! The decision of having you to perform our wedding ceremony was truely no regret. Irving & I appreciated your thoughtful time of putting our wedding vows together. You had certainly made our wedding ceremony as like “Fairy tale” and this will always be in my wonderful memories that I can later tell our children or grand children. Thank you!
Warm Regards,

Jeff and I just got back from Bermuda to find the package you sent waiting for us. Thank you so much for performing our wedding ceremony. It was a beautiful day that we will always cherish. I can’t wait to frame the copy of the vows and display it with the photo you sent. Everyone is still going on about how lovely the ceremony was. Your words made a huge impact not only on us but also friends and family who have been happily married for years. You inspired a few couples I know of to renew their own vows in the upcoming months. I will always cherish our wedding day, thank you so much for being a part of it. It truly was the perfect day, it was everything we wanted and even more than we hoped for. The day went by so quickly, a lot of it is a blur but I know I will always remember every word you spoke and every moment of the ceremony and most importantly, every vow that was said. Thank you for making it so special, and personal.

“Captain Arnold really got to know us, and why we were getting married. We never felt like a number or just another client. He and I had several long phone conversations, he really wanted to know who we were. The ceremony was beautiful, poolside in our backyard. It really felt like each word spoken was picked specialy for us. There wasn’t anything that made it feel impersonal or routine. He either had our friends and family laughing or crying happy tears, everyone felt involved in the ceremony as oposed to just watching. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Captain Arnold. He turned my best friend into my husband, I’ll always be thankful for that. As long as I live, everytime I look at my husband’s wedding ring, I’ll always laugh about how he joked it was so big it looked like a bagel. You can’t go wrong with Captain Arnold, I can’t say enough good things about him.”

Dear Capt. Arnold
This letter is long overdue, but as time passes you are more and more appreciated. It meant so much to us that someone who had met us before we went on the journey towards marriage could marry us. I knew from the time we had met before and all the stories we had heard about you that one day when the time was right you would be the one to marry us. Of all the difficult decisions that come with planning a wedding, you were the easiest and you exceeded our expectations a million times over. We still continue to this day, almost a year later, hearing about how wonderful and amazing Capt. Arnold was at our wedding. From family to friends and colleagues, young and old, everyone has acknowledged how special you made our ceremony and as we continue to attend more weddings since, all we hear is “That was nice, but it wasn’t the Captain.” When you really look back, a wedding isn’t about the flowers, the cake or the dress. It’s about the commitment two people make to each other and you made that moment stand out and not be forgotten as so many tend to do. Words can’t describe how memorable you made our wedding. You made us laugh and cry and really think about the commitment we were making. The sand ceremony and the rose ceremony really added that individual touch so many of our guests had never seen, adding to the uniqueness we successfully created with your help. You truly have an amazing way with words and know how to captivate people’s hearts. You are a special person and will hold a very dear place with us always. We look forward to watching our video ceremony over and over and it is because of you that we will continue to enjoy one of the most memorable moments of our lives. Thank you for being part of our wedding and for everything you did to make it special. Take care of yourself and hopefully we will see you soon.
Love always,
Jill & Sanjoy

We cannot thank Captain Arnold enough for his outstanding service. He incorporated our selections of religious readings into his tailored ceremony. Our guests continue to rave about his sense of humor and unique speech, even inquiring for his contact information to renew their vows or perform their marraige . The sand ceremony was a perfect substitute for a candle lighting during our outdoor ceremony and the rose ceremony was a perfect way to honor our mothers on our special day.
