Robyn and Sam are absolutly amazing! I got married on 10/15/16 and I thought for sure I'd have a breakdown on my wedding day because of how particular I am with my hair and makeup but instead I could not have Been happier! They listened to exactly what I wanted. I would absolutely recommend using cheers to you events for your wedding/event.

Marla Lackey was wonderful to work with. Her loving disposition broke down all the barriers. I felt like I had known her for years as a close confidant. She listened and followed through on all my thoughts and concerns. She took care of everything. I would highly recommend her.

Marla and her team are amazing! I have worked with her on many beautiful weddings over the years, each one's success has been attributed to her attention to detail, experience, organization and what everyone always loves about her which is her personality. She manages the day with a smile making the bride and groom, their bridal party and family members all feel assured that they can relax and enjoy each moment while she executes that the day goes as planned. She's bright, creative and so much fun to work with. I hear our mutual couples rave and sing her praises beyond the wedding day as I work with them after the day-of when I give them their collection of images and design their album. They often reminisce about how wonderful Marla was and what value she brought to their wedding day. Another bonus is everyone in this industry just loves working with her from a vendor standpoint. I look forward to weddings in which I know Marla will be at the wheel! I know I will always stay informed, that my needs for their best interest will be met, that the day will be filled with creative touches and fun things to photograph. I speak for many of my colleagues when I say we love a Cheers To You wedding!
