"I am reaching out to thank your team for the outstanding work on our Awards Banquet at the Omni Providence. Working with Elizabeth was a dream - she really saw our vision and made it happen. SCP was on point, within budget, provided full explanations of the decor, band, etc., and went out of their way to meet with our group to be sure we were all on the same page. The result was exactly what the group had hoped for and we received a high five from our resident New Orleans leader ... job well done!"



Mass. Electric Construction Company
"We have been working with Sullivan Custom Planning for over 10 years now, and have never been disappointed. We recently had a company event with 200 attendees. Sharon Sullivan, Elizabeth Swart and the entire team were able to put together a fantastic evening for us, which we feel was the best we have ever had.

We had a corporate theme for the meeting, and they knew exactly how to incorporate it into the event, without giving them much direction. They came with several ideas and potential vendors to utilize in the initial planning stages which was great. They are very detail oriented and organized from start to finish, which we really appreciate. We always know we can count on them to help us create a fun and spectacular event for our employees to enjoy.

It's great that we can attend the event and not have to worry about the details because we know the Sullivan team has already taken care of everything – always one step ahead. We highly recommend Sullivan Custom Planning, as they are absolutely great at what they do. We couldn't ask for a better group of people to work with, and are looking forward to planning our next event with them."



Zaxby's Inc.
"I recently called on Sullivan Custom Planning with only two weeks left before I would bring a very important group of executives to Boston. I knew I had to make this trip an "experience" but had no idea how I would accomplish that. I began dealing with Elizabeth and she immediately put my concerns to rest. Before I knew it she had helped plan an awesome week. Every detail was perfect and she was right there making sure everything went just as planned. I would definitely use this company again!"



National Association of State Budget Officers (NASBO)
"Our conference was a major success in no small part due to your efforts and assistance. Your staff provided professional and courteous service throughout the days.

It was an exceptional way to showcase our state and show off the unique things we have to offer."


"Sullivan Custom Planning took the time to understand our goals and worked with us to produce high quality events within our budget constraints.

"Earlier this year, I was assigned to plan a party to be held in conjunction with an industry conference in June. The single best decision I made throughout the entire planning and execution process was to partner with Sullivan Custom Planning, Inc. The SCP on-site team was extremely professional and guest-focused throughout the evening. The party was a huge success. The room looked terrific. All vendors did an excellent job. All of our guests had a great time. The feedback was all positive. My team was very pleased as were my bosses! My thanks to Sharon, Ali and the SCP team for helping to make my event shine. I look forward to the next opportunity we will have to work together."

We found it in Ali and the Incredible Race. We were on a tight schedule and our event went off without a hitch and all our questions were answered promptly. Next time we're in town, we'll be doing it again!"

"After working with several DMC companies around the United States and Europe during the past 30 years, I have found Sullivan Custom Planning to be one of the most knowledgeable and creative in their area of expertise. Rarely has a supplier given us complete cooperation from the initial planning meeting through the execution of the event. Each event and tour was completed within the budget and at time even below budget. If you are looking for a 'first class' DMC, than look no further than Sullivan Custom Planning!"

"Sullivan Custom Planning's attention to detail, ability to work with budget and 'no worries' attitude in the midst of the storm are enough to allow me to recommend your services to all who might inquire. The background, professionalism, and enthusiasm that I seek in a destination management company are found with SCP! Non-profit organizations do not have an unlimited budget, but SCP managed to pull together companion tours, off-site and hotel events that truly gave the perception of 'deep pockets.' Thank you so much!"
