I am planning a wedding cake (tiered dummy & "real" sheet cakes). The bride wants all the sheet cakes pre-cut to cut down on cutting and serving costs at the hall. I have absolutely no problem doing this for her, but am looking for the best way to cut the cake, and still have it look nice (no drag marks, pulled icing, etc.). Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

You aren't displaying these sheet cakes, right? 
I'd chill them and cut each slice with a clean, warm knife. You do that by having a jug of warm water beside you and a clean cloth. Warm the knife for a few seconds in the water, wipe off the blade with your dry cloth and cut the cake a few times. Return the knife to the water and do it again. The cuts will be clean and sharp.
Thank you for all the great suggestions! I will probably try both the warm knife and the floss/fishing line techniques, just to see which works better for me...best to go in with options, just in case one or the other isn't what I expected!
No, the cakes won't be displayed, but the bride would like for them to be neat, of course. The hall was charging 50 cents a serving to cut, then more for serving! I don't know if this is typical or not, but there is no way I would want to pay that much!
Again, thanks for the great suggestions!

cut the cake before you ice it. we do this all the time at the bakery for the state school that orders birthday cakes.
No they dont move, much. ice the top first , then work on the sides holding the corner one nearest to you for support. all the server has to do is slide the knife under the corner piece and lift up to remove.
What are the Debbie Myers cutters?
Tina
They are shaped square and slice with handles.
The square is used for cutting sheet cakes and the slice one is used for cutting round cakes.
You just place the cutter on the cake and push down through cake, squeeze the handles and lift up cake and place on plate.
I'm not to good on explaining things 
but they are great to use 
at the bakery, we used the hot knife and partially frozen cake
