💬 "In my family, 'Chérie' was more than a nickname. It was a reminder that family comes first."
It’s what my grandmother called me when she wanted me to know I was special.
It’s the name I heard in moments that mattered.
It’s the foundation of everything I believe in—”cher”ishing time with the people you love.
💬"My family is from Louisiana and Texas. We spoke broken French, and we called each other ‘Cherie.’ So when I started this business, I named it M. Cher because it’s about love and keeping families connected." The M….is for Mama. Mama Cher is what my grandchildren call me. I’m all about the love.

That’s why this isn’t just a travel business. It’s a movement to make sure families stop waiting and start cherishing.
For years, I was the one in my family saying, “We should take a trip.”
And for years, I watched those plans fall apart.
After organizing a family cruise for my son’s wedding, I realized something: families don’t wait because they don’t want to go. They wait because the planning gets overwhelming.
💬"Planning a trip with multiple households is hard. Budgets don’t match. Schedules don’t line up.
Somebody hesitates. And before you know it, the trip just… never happens."
That’s why I started M. Cher Family Fun Travel—to make sure families don’t just talk about taking a trip. They actually do it.
I handle the planning so you don’t have to.
I remove every excuse that could derail the trip.
I make sure this doesn’t become another year of “maybe next time.”
💬 "When I work with a family, I don’t just book a trip. I make sure it’s an experience they’ll talk about for years."
Most travel agents sell destinations. I sell memories and experiences that won’t slip away.
We Plan for Big Family Trips. Coordinating multiple households? I’ve got it.
We Keep It Simple. No overcomplicated decisions—just the best options for your family.
We Make It Stress-Free. I handle the hard parts, so all you do is show up.
We Know This Is More Than a Vacation. This is about family legacy—and I take that seriously.
Most families stay stuck in the “we should” phase.
I make sure you move from talking about it to actually booking the trip.
💬 "One family came to me after years of saying, ‘We should take a trip.’ They had no idea where to start, and nobody wanted to be the one responsible for planning. I walked them through every step, locked in the details, and got every single person on board. That trip? It became the most important one they ever took together."
Here’s how we do it:
We talk about your vision, your family’s needs, and what’s been holding you back.
We lock in the who, where, and when so the trip actually happens.
I handle everything—flights, accommodations, payments—so your family just shows up and enjoys.
