For more than 30 years, I have been an active United States Coast Guard Licensed Captain. I am also the only "Ordained Chaplain" registered with the City Clerk's Office of the City of New York as an official Wedding Officiant. I perform beautiful, unique and memorable wedding ceremonies on land or at sea, aboard the vessel of your choice or at the restaurant, catering hall or land facility of your choice. I will assist you in personalizing your vows to highlight your sentiments and emotions for this most important day.

As a Captain and your wedding officiant, I am aware there are literally hundreds of vows, readings and blessings from which to choose. I also recognize that your time is valuable, and planning a wedding can be very stressful and time-consuming. Therefore, I have put together the distilled essence of what I consider the "best of the best."

My purpose is to help you plan your wedding so that your ceremony, as well as your reception, is truly one that you and your guests will remember for many years to come.

"A Wedding Ceremony to Remember." Captain Arnold Interfaith Chaplain

Dearest Captain Arnold, The ceremony was just perfect. You chose words that were perfect for Doug and I, it was if you had known us our whole lives. I am tearing up as I write this, thinking about how absolutely special it was. Our friends are STILL talking about you and I would imagine you will be a topic of conversation for many, many years to come.

Dear Captain, We can't thank you enough for the way you made our wedding so beautiful. It was the most perfect love-filled wedding because you, Captain, lead George and I through the most beautiful joy-filled ceremony that ever there was. You have gotten rave reviews from everyone who was there and for very good reason. George and I will always have the most beautiful memories of our very special day and the very warm and loving ceremony For that we will be forever grateful.

Dear Captain, Your words are refreshing to today's life styles. You chose the perfect words that will last a life time for couples and their witnesses to remember. Those special words should be the LAW of every marriage that couples enter into. As I read those words with Patrick, we agreed that you are truly a man who knows what love is and how to express the meaning of LOVE in a marriage.
