We hired Jeff for his DJ/MC services at our wedding ceremony and reception and we are SO glad we did. Throughout the months leading up to the wedding he was in communication with us and helped calm our worries for the big day. We used his wedding portal to fill out information and forms that helped create an extremely personalized service from Jeff. We had multiple guests ask us if we knew him personally because of how wonderful of a job he did. We loved the little ice breaking games we played during the reception. We loved how he introduced our wedding party to our guests, everyone was laughing and it really got the party started. Our ceremony was flawless as well and he was able to accommodate my requests for certain songs and extending the length to make it work etc. Jeff was able to create a perfect entertainment environment for our dream wedding. He’s actually a bit of a comedian with how funny he is. He even got my 92 year old grandmother breaking it down on the dance floor! We seriously could not have asked for anything more from him! He even took pictures and videos through the day, communicated with our venues so we didn’t have to worry about set up, and completely stole the heart of our guests! Thank you Jeff for an amazing da…

Using Jeff for our big day was the best decision we made in the wedding planning process.

We used him for our ceremony music, our reception DJ, and he was also our MC. He really played such a huge role in the planning process to ensure we had thought of all the little details. He gave us some outlines about things that we should think of…

DJ Haymaker was an absolute GEM and truly one of the highlights of the final night of our summer convention!

Planning this event came with its own unique logistical challenges. We were unfamiliar with the area and, from across the country, needed to conduct scouting trips to secure the right venues, accommodations and entertainment for our group. During every site visit and every meeting with a hospitality professional, I asked the same question: “Who would you recommend for entertainment?” One name came up again and again — DJ Haymaker.

I was quickly told that booking Jeff would be nearly impossible within our nine-month booking window, particularly for a summer weekend. As luck would have it, our closing night fell on a Monday — and Jeff happened to be available. Even more incredibly, it was his mother’s birthday. Jeff went above and beyond, moving his own family celebration to the following day so that he could be there for our event. That level of commitment and willingness to make it work meant so much to us and set the tone for what turned out to be an exceptional evening.

From the very beginning, Jeff was exceptionally prepared and incredibly intentional about understanding our event. He took the time to research our company and learn about key participants so that his talking points and interactions felt relevant, personal and authentic. That level of preparation made a huge difference and demons…

Heidi & James Excell

When we had decided to have our wedding in Kelowna, we checked out many different venues. At each venue, we were told that the BEST DJ to book, and the one that would GUARANTEE a great party would be DJ Haymaker. At the time we found this quite interesting that every venue would give the same recommendation.

As a cou…
