Kind words

I was Sylma's mentor for the Academy of Modern Celebrancy Wedding Course. During our time working together, she was an excellent student, asking questions and taking on board my feedback. Sylma has the most calming and comforting presence and any couple would be lucky to have her holding their hand through the ceremony process. Her scripts have a warmth about them and tell a couple's story with sensitivity and humour. Fantastic!
It was an absolute pleasure working with her.

Sylma is kind and caring and greets everyone with a smile and a friendly chat. She is trustworthy, reliable, and committed to seeing tasks through to the finish line. She puts others before herself and will always go the extra mile for them. When Sylma has organised occasions, they have been arranged to the finest detail as she does her research to ensure everything goes to plan.
It's always a pleasure to work with her.

Sylma is truly a wonderful person to be around and a dedicated celebrant. Her kindness and humour shine through in all her interactions, creating a positive and welcoming atmosphere. She has exceptional patience, and this promotes a supportive and nurturing environment, where she consistently considers others' needs and feelings before her own. It is a pleasure to work with her and be in her company.
