The Sullivan house was a beautiful site to hold our wedding. The only problem we ran into was with the owner of the house who would not allow us to have a champange toast with bridesmaids. she was rude about it. We also only had 4 hours toatl at the site, so the reception felt a little rushed. But other than that, it was a wonderful event.

The Sullivan House was a beautiful and wonderful one-stop-shop style wedding venue who provides and helps with catering, DJ, videographer, etc. Dona walks you through choosing each step of planning your event, and coordinates the whole day to run seamlessly... and attends and runs the whole thing in the background to go off without a hitch, without any of your guests having any idea she's completely in control. With that said, Dona also is very controlling with every step of the ceremony. Most of the stress I had on my wedding evening was because Dona was pushing people around and yelling at people.

I also found used condoms in the grass in the parking area when we pulled in for our rehearsal, which was rather disgusting. Now that it's all over, I do have beautiful pictures to remember the day.

While the venue was undeniably beautiful and the food was wonderful, these two features were totally overshadowed by the unpleasantness of Donna Sullivan, the coordinator of Sullivan House. She was totally unprofessional to other vendors to the point of pitching fits when they got in her way as well as ugly to family members. It is completely obvious that this woman hates her job and she takes it out on all of those around her. Every interaction with Donna was met with a sour disposition, a complete unwillingness to compromise on anything, and a laziness that should NEVER been seen in the service industry, much less the wedding industry. On a day that should have run more smoothly due to her "help" there were more errors, glitches, and arguments than anything else resulting eventually in tears. I would NEVER recommend this venue to anyone as long as Donna Sullivan is still running it. It was the most unpleasant memory of my wedding day.

As the mother of the bride, we chose The Sullivan House as a one stop shop to take all the stress away so that we all could enjoy the wedding. We had many "stressful" meeting with Donna Sullivan prior to the wedding, and reluctantly, we carried on. We met with the caterer, recommended by Donna, the florist, the DJ, and the photographer, also recommended by her. First, the florist did an exceptional job, and the flowers were beautiful. Kudos to her. The DJ, I would recommend to everyone....he kept the night moving, and was exceptional. That is the end of all the good things. The rehersal was very hurried, and cold. Donna was, as she self proclaims,...the "Wedding Nazi". We arrived the day of the wedding 5 minutes early, and was barely allowed to enter the house to dress for the wedding. We were met in "The Bridal Room" with a paper that my daughter was made to sign saying that if her dog (her child) were to cause any problems, that there would be a $500 charge. The photographer (the guy in training) arrived in the bridal room for photos....again he was the guy in training. The "real" photographer was down stairs with the groom. NO photo's of the bride by herself were taken. Now things are going OK, until as soon as the ceremony was finished, and the guests made their way to the reception area, there was an announcement made by Donna, that "since everyone did not RSVP, and there were a few more people than expected, no one could eat until she set up more tables.....and that EVERYONE WOULD HAVE TO EAT LIGHT" We were informed of this by a guest that decided that obviously there was not enough food, so they were not going to stay for the reception. This was the case for many of the guests. HOW EMBARRISING for us. Some of the guests had come for the wedding only, and were going to leave before the reception, but since the "Wedding Nazi" decided to take a head count during the wedding, we were over by about 10 people.
The reception was another problem. Donna lost my daughters favorite drink, which we provided. Maybe she had some herself before the wedding? The cake was less than expected, and the food was OK. I was extremely disappointed by the service of the food. We had ordered soft drinks, tea, and coffee. On a table was 4 2litre drink bottles, a jug of sweet and unsweet tea, and a carafe of coffee. How tacky! Guests poured their own drinks! During the reception, the photographer, Craigs Photography, (recommended by Donna) was seen many times going through the food line, and taking breaks.
At the end of what was supposed to be a stress-less night, we were told that she, Donna, could not find the bubbles that we had supplied. So we had to use someone elses.
Also, as guests were arriving, I was mingling with them, only to find that there were open condom wrappers on the ground, apparently from the wedding the night before....
Thankfully, my daughter knew nothing of all of the problems of the night. She had her beautiful wedding, and only found out about the problems afterwards.
I would NOT EVER recommend this establishment or anyone associated with them for a wedding, or any other event. They should hang their heads and be ashamed of treating people this way.
