We hired Jeff as our DJ and MC for our September 2011 wedding. Our immediate impression of Jeff was great, loved the energy and enthusiasm that he brought, this continued right through till our wedding day.

He had the tools to enable us to make decisions for music and his knowledge was apparent when we needed help. He was organized and had the experience to allow our special day to go off without a hitch. Everything that he said would happen, happened!

Our guests are still talking about what a fantastic time they had with games and the entertainment, the music was amazing- song after song. For the guests who couldn’t make it talked about what a great time they “heard” they missed!

Jeff had suggestions for the reception and ceremony as well as being open to ideas that we wanted to implement. After engaging the crowd and getting a feel for our guests, he was able to custom make our reception as to the comfort of the crowd.

He exceeded our high expectation for being an amazing DJ. We highly recommend Jeff Hay for any of your entertainment needs.

I have included some of the comments made by our friends and family:

“It was awesome, we had so much fun!”

“Had a blast at the wedding!!”

“We had such a great time sista!’

“Heard the wedding was a blast… wish we could have been there!!!’

“We had such a good time at your wedding!!!”

“Just wanted to say that your wedding was one of the most beautiful I have ever attended! Not to mention super fun!! It was a really great day and night!”

“Your guys wedding was the best wedding we have ever been to…the dance floor was never empty!”

“Just wanted to say great wedding!”

Thank you very much Jeff for making or special day that much more, Danny and Jamie.

Feedback from Mother and Father of the Bride

HI Jeff,

I just wanted to send you a note to let you know how much we appreciated all you did to make our daughter’s fairy tale wedding come true! Chelsea was telling us about you last summer, before she and Matt were even engaged. Now we understand why she was so excited when you had August 27th open. At the beginning when you said, you wanted everyone to walk away saying this was the best wedding they had ever been to…. Well we have been hearing that over and over from our guests. Thanks for paying attention to every little detail, and taking away any stress Chelsea would have otherwise had.

I think my favourite part was when you introduced the head table. I thought it was nice for the guests to know how Chelsea and Matt knew their bridesmaids and grooms men. The little extra you added to each one was hilarious! It wasn’t until you introduced the Stacey, the second bridesmaid, that I realized the extra info. As I could easily see Jessica as the head of a roller derby team.

Thanks again for making the most important day in our daughter’s life so perfect!

Sincerely,
April and Randy Penner (parents of the bride)

p.s. plus I appreciated your help with Chelsea’s dress at the ceremony. I wasn’t sure what we were going to do to have it lined up properly.

Hey Jeff,

Thank you so much for all your work during the wedding.

We had so many compliments about the reception and how fun it was and how great a job you did.

Apart from being the steward of all that fun Sandi and I really appreciated your cool demeanour and the personal support you gave to both of us during that day.

Thank you so much for being such a big part of our successful day!!!

WOW WOW WOW!!!!

What an amazing wedding day and I have SO many thank you’s to give out to you!! I’m constantly getting comments like ‘best wedding I’ve ever been too’. Seriously LOVED what you did, it was awesome!! I know our family likes to party but the dance floor was PACKED the entire night, hah!!

Everything was so perfect!!

I’m still smiling and laughing when I think about the day 🙂

Your one and only….stalker!!!

Jeff

Thanks for the fantastic job at our wedding. You created the perfect atmosphere for our wedding.

As you know, I was a nervous bride, wondering and hoping that the day would go by smoothly. Everything ran super smooth, and I was able to enjoy my day with my guests!

Weeks after, we are still getting told how amazing and fun our wedding was. We were told that we have “set the bar” for weddings.

People keep asking us if we’re related to you because you seemed to “know us so well.”

I couldn’t imagine our day without any other DJ then you!!

From the Mother of the Bride…

Four years ago, we attended our cousin’s wedding where Jeff Hay was the D.J. and my family of 6 had the best time of any wedding reception EVER! We had SO much FUN I vowed that which ever one of my children would get married next, “The Haymaker” would be the planning priority on my list.

Well, two years later, my daughter became engaged and we immediately booked Jeff, two years in advance!

More than a D.J. Jeff Hay is pure entertainment and makes your wedding a FUN PARTY! So many of our guests raved about how much FUN they had.

Leticia Vecchio (mother of the bride)

Jeff, what can we say… “You make life easy.”

After our first meeting we knew we wanted DJ Haymaker as both DJ and our Wedding MC. It took a lot of pressure off of our friends and family members that we would have asked to MC, and truly allowed everyone to have an amazing evening. Jeff took the time to learn who we were as a couple, what our interests and personalities were like, and address any potential concerns that we may have had before on our special day. Jeff’s experience with weddings was very evident by the questions he asked and he was able to make some terrific suggestions regarding our location, layout, and timing of events during the evening.

For everyone reading this, Jeff Hay has many talents. He is extremely professional and first and foremost puts the bride and groom’s interests above everything else. As our Wedding MC, he coordinated the food with our arrival to the hall, warmed the crowd up with a series of amazing ‘games’, and caught all the small details we missed. He also has an incredible ability to read the crowd during the night and keeps the party moving so there is never a dull moment. People are still talking about how much fun they had at our wedding. It’s truly a pleasure working with someone who loves their profession – and with Jeff it shows.

Thank you again for a terrific day!

Hey Jeff!!!!!

I just wanted to drop you a line and say thanks so much for being the best DJ ever! We’ve had quite a few guests say it was the best wedding ever so we did good!

You were such a help during the planning of the wedding and knowing you are awesome at what you do put my mind at ease quite often.

You’re the best! Thanks again 🙂

Jeff!! Awesome night!! It was so good. My dad especially was so impressed. He had a great time and even remarked he hasn’t had “THAT much fun at a wedding in a very long time”!! He had fun….could u tell??

Everyone has been saying that it was great… as we hoped they would! Thanks to you!! I was worried that being a Sunday people would pack ‘er in early but totally not the case at All. The day was flawless and so organized. It was great.

Oh and one more thing….I think I’ve changed my mind for our first dance song….haha. Just kidding!! Thanks for making our day so great! Here is a testimonial for your website too!

Jeff Hay/DJ Haymaker is an awesome DJ. PERIOD

From the earliest stages of planning our wedding, Jeff was completely involved and excited to help us create the perfect day. He got to know my fiance and I and our daughter as individuals and as a family and incorporated it all into our wedding celebration.

He had our guests out on the dance floor all night, whether they were dancing or playing games, they were having a great time. I had so many guests tell me that they have never had so much fun at a wedding ever! Jeff has my highest recommendation. He truly made our wedding what it was. And it was fabulous! Thanks Jeff!! It was awesome!

We are so glad that we booked DJ Jeff Haymaker for our wedding. Giving him the MC duties was the best decision ever. First off, Jeff single-handedly managed the timing with the kitchen, the bar, the wedding planner, and the guests when we were running late after pictures. Because of Jeff’s throuough process for pre-interview questions for us and with our face to face meeting with him a year prior to the event, we got to know him and had the total confidence to pass total control over to him when the time came. Let me tell you, he literally ran the show for us – and made our day much more enjoyable as we were able to sit back and have fun.

That is only the beginning though! One of Jeff’s finest attributes is to judge the crowd, and adapt. When people are crying, he will make them laugh. If they are getting bored, he’ll have something to get everyone’s attention. After the speeches, we played a couple different games – but the best by all accounts was the ‘Survivor’ game. It involves someone from each table peforming a series of tasks with one person eliminated each round. I won’t ruin the final round, but let me tell you by the end of this game everyone was laughing so hard and it definitely got everyone’s spirits up and got them ready to dance! Then come dance time, Jeff sets out a chest of different hats for guest to wear – we had the two grandmas up and dancing with cheeseburger and hot dog styrofoam hats on! I’ve never seen one grandma dance in my whole life, nevermind two! I could not beleive it, but 90% of our guests were on the dance floor all night!

We highly recommend Jeff. Right from the get go he stated he was very excited to be part of our big day. Our guests (and our) feedback shows. All of our guests did call our event the wedding of the century. It was totally to the whole entertainment Jeff provides as a DJ and MC. We can honestly say we do not wish our big day went any other way. I’d like to thank Jeff again for the great memories, as they will definitely last a lifetime.
