Jeff Hay is a wedding/party genius who is worth his weight in gold.
Jeff played a huge part in the success of our wedding; we couldn’t have had the wedding we dreamed of without him.  Three years ago we had the pleasure of attending a wedding in which Jeff was the MC and DJ, and we had a blast a…

Mike & Jennifer Schoenenberger

Jeff is one of a kind! When we were searching for a wedding DJ in Kelowna, I knew that we had to go with the “Haymaker” just from all of the great stories that I have heard from his events. Experiencing it first hand at my own wedding really confirmed that we made the PERFECT decision having Jeff be a part of our weddi…

Our experience with DJ Haymaker started the moment we found out that we were going to have him DJ our wedding.

We met with him soon after we heard the great news, and so the planning began! DJ Haymaker came to us with an open and creative mind, dedicated to creating the perfect day for us. He wanted to get to know us…

Jennifer & Mike Carlson

Mike and I had over a year and a half to plan our wedding so we had lots of time to make sure all the details were taken care of. However, there were a few things that we wanted to make sure we booked early such as our reception location, photographer and most of all D.J.!

I initially thought of choosing Jeff when I saw him on Summerhill’s list of recommen…

Rachelle & Mike Gravelle

As a wanna-be bride since the age of 5 I knew my wedding would be planned and executed the best it possibly could be. Living in Calgary but choosing Kelowna as our wedding destination meant I had to have control and organization from 7 hours away. Dress, photographer and DJ were the top 3 on my list of things that we…

More Than Just Music.

I help your guests connect, laugh, and dance so they leave saying “Best wedding ever!” Beyond music, I run a smooth, personalized show that feels unmistakably you.

READ MY FULL PHILOSOPHY

You’re inviting your favorite people from all over the world — they deserve an amazing celebration. We set a clear outcome (so-worth-the-trip, so-you-two, best-ever) and reverse-engineer the moments that create it.

From creative dinner ideas to turning “clink the glasses” into a memory, I bring MC leadership and interactive fun so, when it’s time to open the floor, your room is a cohesive, ready-to-party crew.

THE MC ADVANTAGE

Your DJ sees hundreds of timelines. I know what works, what doesn’t, and how to adapt the energy. I’ll guide the flow, keep your VIP moments on time, and make transitions feel effortless.
