‘Cheers For The Years Limited’ is a new business adventure which competes in the event planning industry. As opposed to competing with multi-service event planners, ‘Cheers For The Years’  specializes in Celebration of Life events. The company was inspired by the death of a very personal friend of the two major shareholders, who after attending his Celebration of Life event organized by his spouse, realized what a profound effect the event had for a deceased loved one’s friends and family.

Cheers For The Years is a family owned business. It is a federally incorporated company. Its principals have 10 years of event planning experience, 10 years of food and beverage experience, 20 years of education experience as well as 40 years of investment management experience and building businesses.
