The food was incredible, the space was absolutely lovely, the wait staff was very attentive, and I do believe the game show was a bit hit. I look forward to working with you all again, hopefully in the not too distant future. Please do keep in touch!"

- "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!"
- Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island

- "Thank you for very much for executing a magnificent event for us. Walk Rhode Island has grown over the years as our signature corporate event; and it has been because of your attention to detail and your seasoned event planning skills. Your consistent commitment to organization and planning was invaluable to me. SCP always has great ideas and is very creative, which is very important in our field. I plan to contact SCP in the future with all of our large events!"

- "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!"
- Lockheed Martin Corporation
