Just wanted to put down in to writing all the amazing feedback we had from our wedding!
From Aaron’s first phone call to you and my first meeting with you we knew you had to be a part of our wedding and your promise to make it ‘the best wedding ever,’ did not disappoint. From start to finish you were there to answer any and all questions I had regarding the wedding, music and DJ related or not.
Every time I even started to think we hadn’t touched base and should there was an email in my inbox with another simple question. You were invaluable with planning the timeline and assisting of emcee for the evening.
I felt relaxed and comfortable the entire day of the wedding knowing that things were just going to happen and trusted you entirely to make them happen. The music and mics at the ceremony we perfect, while the games at the reception were wonderful and got everyone ready to party.
Oh, and the videos are priceless! Comments from friends have included; ‘Where did you find him? He was awesome’ and ‘My stomach hurts from laughing so much!’
I don’t think the dance floor ever cleared out from start to finish. You read the crowd really well but still managed to play songs that we wanted to hear, as obscure as some of them may have been.
For ourselves, our families and friends, you were worth every penny! We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding. We I would recommend you to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding or event.
Mum and Dad fly out this morning but they wanted me to say –
“[Jeff] was wonderful at our daughters wedding. He played songs that meant special things to our family, he also played music to suit all ages, and the “hatbox” was amazing! He was really good fun. You’ll love him, a very friendly guy, full of enthusiasm and he went that extra mile to make us all feel very special. I’d take him back to England if I could!” Sue Snell (my Mum)
“From start to finish Jeff was by my side guiding me through the unknown world of weddings! His advice and confidence was extremely reassuring and put me at ease. He made the whole experience very personal, remembering key peoples names and finding songs which suited my family down to a tee! He was very professional during the ceremony and during the reception he addressed our guests and made them feel involved and part of the whole day. His games and jokes are very well done and injected at just the right times. I feel like I have found a secret gem in the Okanagan and hope to use his services again – even if it is only for a house party!”
Jeff, you were amazing.. from the moment we met you, we wanted you to be a part of our big day.
You offered help and expertise with not only music, timelines, games, MC duties etc, but also helped us remember what they day was all about. Our meetings in the planning stages were so helpful, we always left feeling less stressed and more excited about the celebration to come!
Your involvement in our wedding ceremony at the church allowed us to enjoy every moment of it without worrying about organizing people, the music, and getting the ceremony started and running smoothly.
We had many family members and friends tell us that was the best reception they had ever been to. You helped us create a timeline specific to our wants and needs, we were able to spend lots of time visiting with friends and family and you kept everything on track from the wedding party entrance, awesome icebreaker games, facilitating dinner, speeches and getting everyone pumped for the dancing with a game we will never forget “Survivor”
When it came time for us to leave the party we still had many guests young and old who worked it on the dance floor until the final song at the end of the night. Looking back we have only positive memories of a day of celebration with the people we know and love.
Thank you for becoming a significant part of our marriage celebration! Hope to see you again soon at our friends wedding’s in the future, you will be highly recommended!
Having been a bartender for years I know the value of a good party! I’ve heard the good, bad, and ugly when it comes to DJs… and then I’ve heard DJ Haymaker. He falls into into a category all of his own – SUPERB! Over the course of a year I heard DJ Haymaker entertaining guests every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night at weddings and Christmas parties at the Harvest Golf Club where I tended bar. You would think after so many nights of hearing the same DJ that I would get bored – not the case! Without fail, every party-goer who came to my bar loved him… it’s definitely thanks to him that I had to work so many late nights – people just wouldn’t go home when he was there.
When I got engaged I knew I needed Jeff Hay aka DJ Haymaker to DJ my wedding. I wanted the biggest, best, and most spectacular wedding around and knew that Jeff was the guy to make it happen. I can be difficult to work with – I want what I want when I want it. Jeff was instrumental in making everything I wanted happen. From meeting with us to plan everything, sourcing some difficult to find songs for our ceremony, working out last-minute details and basically acting as DJ-meets-wedding-planner, Jeff was nothing short of amazing!!
We had a very diverse crowd of people – from age 19 – 90. Jeff made sure that everyone had a great time – when it looked like people were about to leave, Jeff would do some quick thinking DJ Magic and play a song to get them all back up on the floor again. Our party raged on all night thanks to Jeff! He made sure people stayed hyped up and ready to party.
Everyone at the wedding commented that Jeff was worth his weight in gold. Even my 90 year old grandfather thought the games and activities were fun! Yes, games at a wedding!! It was a great ice breaker and allowed everyone to let loose in preparation to get their party on! I would not hesitate to recommend DJ Haymaker for whatever event you may be having.
If you a bridezilla like me I can assure you that nothing shocks him! He will put your worries at easy and he will treat you with the utmost respect and professionalism! You better book him early though – DJ Jeff Haymaker is highly in demand!!!
We want to let you know what a great help you have been to Ryan and myself, from the initial planning right up to the day of our wedding. We booked you before anything else and the help you provided to us about other aspects of the wedding (photographer and venue, etc.) were crucial in making our wedding as great as it was.
We could always count on you for feedback and ideas. On the wedding day itself, you were organized and made sure we knew exactly where we were supposed to be and what time things should be done. We did not feel stressed at all and the night flowed so seamlessly that we were able to relax and have fun!
The games and activities made the night unforgettable and your ability to make everyone in my wedding party feel important was so special; we had a wedding party of 12 and they commented that you knew their names!! That was awesome. Ryan and I felt that you were able to capture exactly what we had in mind for our wedding and the day was perfect!!
We are so grateful to have had you be a part of our day. We would recommend you to anyone that wants their wedding to be everything they dreamed of!! People are still commenting on what a great wedding it was and how much fun they had; we have had more than one person say that it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to!! So Thank you again Jeff for the best day of our lives!!
Alicia & Ryan Mayne

Also Jeff…here is what my mom wanted to say…
We cannot tell you how important you were in making our daughters reception “the best time ever!” You proved to be the ice breaker that brought friends and strangers together. Even weeks after the wedding your performance is the talk of many conversations. Thank you for delivering on your promise to make it the most unforgettable evening. We will recommend you to my co-workers, friends and family.
We were very excited to have DJ Haymaker at my daughter’s wedding.
We had experienced Jeff in action at other events and knew the energy he could put into an evening. We were not disappointed.
From immediately after the ceremony to the last dance of the evening Jeff kept the evening flowing.
Tasteful, fun, action packed, exceptionally amusing it was all there.
The dance floor was full from the first song to the last, credit also to the amazing crowd we had at the wedding but also to Jeff’s skills in reading that crowd.
The first time I met Jeff I just had the girls with me. Right off the bat I loved his energy, all of his ideas, willingness to help and especially his personality! I knew right away, he was the guy for Rob and I to have on our special day. The weeks leading up to the wedding, as per normal, were a tad stressful- a HUGE thank you to Jeff for helping me with that. Getting the time line and introductions/bios all figured out was a blast.
I must say I was all for the, what did we call them Jeff, “ice breakers” (games), from the beginning….Rob, not so much. He didn’t want our special day to turn into, in his words, a circus. Boy was he (and I was too) pleasantly surprised! The games were all enjoyable and they were all huge hits, a great way for both sides to interact and get to know each other
Everything from the start of the ceremony to the end of the evening was PERFECT! full of energy and I must say a packed dance floor ALL night (which was our goal). The only complaint I had that day was that it had to come to an end. It is just awesome to hear people still talking about how much fun they had at our wedding… and ” wow, where did you find that DJ, he was AWESOME! “.
Thank you so much Jeff for having a huge part in making our day so incredibly special.
We just wanted to take the time to thank you once again for the amazing job you did as our Wedding DJ and MC. From the first time we met, right up until the last guests left, you were so helpful and always professional. Your ideas and suggestions, calming presence, and energetic personality were invaluable to the success of our big day.
The whole day truly went off without a hitch. With your helpful advice and organizational skills, we were able to put together the perfect ceremony. Everything flowed so well. And then the reception, oh the reception! Everyone had such an amazing time! The games we played were terrific ice breakers and really brought everyone together. Your MC skills were top notch as well, and you had everyone laughing and enjoying themselves all night. You were able to make everyone feel included and comfortable, which was very important to us. The dance had to be our favourite part of the night though. From beginning to end you were able to keep the dance floor packed! We have never experienced such an amazing dance (nor had anyone else we spoke to). We were especially excited that you were able to accommodate some of our non-traditional song requests. You really catered to what we wanted to hear! Our wedding was so fun that we couldn’t even bring ourselves to leave, we stayed until the bitter end!
We would highly recommend your services to anyone planning a wedding or other event. Thanks to all of your hard work behind the scenes, we were able to just relax and completely enjoy our special day. The amount of compliments we received about your work and the wedding in general were off the charts. We couldn’t have imagined the day without you. Thanks Jeff, you are the best!!
So wow. What can I say. I can’t believe the big day has come and gone already. After meeting you in person an entire year in advance I never thought the day would actually come.
At our first meeting you were such a joy to talk to and bounce ideas off. Trenton and I were both so happy and excited to work with you, we just had to wait such a long time.
Then when the big day finally came we were both so so happy with the way everything turned out. Everything you suggested was a great idea and everyone was so shocked at the amazing job you did. I have never been to a wedding with so much laughter, excitement and energy the entire night. Everyone was out of their seat and having the best time ever if they knew people or not. The night was exactly what Trenton and I dreamed of.
You are so easy to approach and talk to and I think everyone go that impression and it felt like you were completely a part of the family which was phenomenal. I got so many complements throughout the night about how amazing you were. Everyone was completely shocked and amazed. I still to this day can’t believe how good you are with names and how well you read
everyone. It truly felt like you knew all of us for years not a few hours.
Thank you so much Jeff. It’s has been an honor to meet and work with you and I can’t imagine our day without you in it. You played such a huge role and I don’t have a single complaint. Everything you did was above and beyond…….it was absolutely Perfect!!!
All the best to you and thanks again for a spectacular night!!!
Karen
P.S. Thanks again for everything. I don’t know how to explain in words how pleased we were with everything.
Jeff asked us what kind of wedding we wanted to have and what we wanted people to remember the most. We told him we wanted a fun, magical, unique and WOW wedding and that’s just what he gave us. We could not be more pleased with his personalized custom service to us before, during and after the wedding. People say that a DJ can make or break your wedding and we, our families and our friends, feel that Jeff MADE our wedding. Everyone had a brilliant time, his games and the way he MC’d for us was off the charts and we would hire him again in a heartbeat to do any other party we might be throwing in the future.
– Jeff rocked the house! He made our Wedding… LEGEND!
