It’s been nearly two months since our wedding and people are still talking about it, everyone loved the full day of wine touring, gorgeous ceremony venue, but most of all, how DJ Haymaker had the perfect music for each moment and different location in the background, it was like being in a movie. We had a friend sing at both our ceremony and do a full set at our reception and DJ Haymaker made all of her AV possible. DJ Haymaker had the dance floor packed from the first song with the “McStack Mashup” and kept it rolling with all of the music we wanted to hear, country, house music and good ol’ Michael Jackson hour. It was awesome and we’re so glad he was the first vendor we hired, I don’t know how we would have pulled off a destination wedding without his guidance, suggestions and vendor hook ups. DJ and Wedding Planner in one!

Thanks so much Jeff – you rock the Kasbah

From the Mother of the Bride!!

It was great to see you on Friday evening at the Benewealth event……what an event eh!!!!! You really are a sought after person!!!! Have to tell you we were at my niece’s wedding on Saturday in Vernon…………there was a live band but no entertainment………..suffice to say there were many positive comments from people that had attended both events what a difference it makes to have a DJ Haymaker!!!!!! Thanks again. Here is a paragraph that I prepared for you for your website – I hope you like the following…..it is most sincere!!!! Chris

“Where to begin???? Jeff from the first time we met for coffee to discuss Robyn & Tyke’s wedding until the lights came on after the dance you have out done yourself!!!

Your positive energy completely relaxed all of us and instilled confidence that the day would be perfect and it was more than perfect.!! I can’t tell you how many times I heard throughout the evening and still that it was the best wedding people had attended and that is because of you. The games were hilarious and really got the crowd going.

When we had met for coffee you shared with me that your goal was to get two people that did not know each other at the start to be buddies by the end……Mission Accomplished. We totally and completely lucked out in booking you and should we need a DJ in the future you are definitely our man. Thanks again for helping make beautiful memories of a beautiful day!

Hey Jeff!

We are STILL basking in our Wedding Bliss! Honestly, what an amazing day; it really couldn’t have gone any better. You really did give us peace of mind – we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Matt and I had an absolute blast and I know all of our guests did too!

Our impression of DJ Haymaker:

Where to begin…Our Wedding day was absolutely perfect. We really do owe a lot of thanks to Jeff as he kept our day rolling along smoothly. From the Ceremony to Cocktail Hour, to the late hours of the night; Jeff kept the party going. He definitely knows how to read a crowd. Most importantly, Matt and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Jeff gave us peace of mind and really kept us on track. From the bouquet/garter toss, to first dances, Jeff had it under control! Folks at our Wedding definitely like to Party and that’s exactly what Jeff gave us; there was never a dull moment! Our friends and family are STILL talking about our Wedding…”Best Wedding Ever.” So many great memories were made that will never be forgotten.

Jeff also organized some great Wedding Games that our guests absolutely loved, it really got the whole room engaged! The energy in the ballroom was absolutely amazing.

AND to top it off, Jeff really went above and beyond – he sent us a few videos after our big day. We weren’t able to have a videographer so it was fantastic that Jeff was able to capture some of those important moments for us!

Thank you again Jeff, you are an amazing DJ and really just a lovely person over all 🙂

Choosing the right DJ for a wedding is not an easy task, as having the right guy there can either make or break the party. DJ Haymaker is THE GUY who will not only make the party, but he will go over and above all the callings of a simple DJ. Some of our guests thought he was not only the DJ but our wedding planner. Time and time again we have had guests say to us, “what an amazing DJ”, “was he your wedding planner” and “what a fun and memorable party”.

He took care of every detail, any request, made arrangements or changed plans with the reception staff when the bride and groom could not. He even had safety pins for me when I needed to adjust the length of my wedding dress so I could comfortably dance. YES HE IS THAT GOOD!!! Prior to our ceremony he had recommendation of songs to play as we walked down the aisle, and assisted with getting everyone and everything set up perfectly. My husband and I were amazed by his charisma, talent and attention to every detail.

At the reception the ice breaker ‘games’ were a riot, as were the introductions of the bridal party. It is not only that he manages to entertain the crowd, but he has that confident radio voice that just captivates the audience and has everyone engaged. If you want a fun wedding party that has everyone on the dance floor all night long and will have your guests wishing for more, he is the ONLY DJ we would recommend.

His mission is simple, to help the bride and groom have the best day of their lives!!! Thank you Jeff for making our special day such a seamlessly perfect, fun, happy and memorable night!”

Just wanted to thank you for everything!!!!!!!

We had a blast! “Best Wedding Ever” is all I have been hearing from our guests. All of our family and friends have been raving about how well the wedding went; from the beautiful venue at Summerhill Winery to the highly entertaining DJ/MC. You were so professional yet fun and easy to talk to at the same time.

The way you brought all of our friends and family together with your games was amazing. Your music choices and suggestions were just perfect. I have never seen a dance floor that packed for the entire night.

Our wedding couldn’t have went any better. With so many things going on throughout the day you made it all happen so seamlessly. By the end of the night it felt like you were one of our best friends.

We couldn’t be any happier with the way our wedding day went. Our wedding was flawless, fun, hilarious and so fitting to our personalities.

Thank you so much and all the best in the future.

Thank you so much for such a great night. You really did pull through for us and it wouldn’t have been the same without you there.

Here is a testimonial for you to use on your website or share with future clients.

Jeff truly took our wedding from great to spectacular. He played the music at our ceremony and was able to find every odd song request we came up with. I was a little hesitant about playing games at our reception as most of the games I’ve seen in the past have been corny or tacky. He asked me to trust him and let him do a few games – BEST DECISION EVER.

We played 3 games/ice breakers and everyone had a blast. It got everyone out of their seats, even my uncle who is too shy to even come to family dinners. As the games were being played I moved around from table to table and I had so many people tell me how much fun it was and how it was such a great idea. An idea that I couldn’t take any credit for as it was all Jeff!

Our guests had an amazing time at our wedding and it was mainly because we had Jeff entertaining us. He also helped our MCs out by taking over halfway through the night so that they could enjoy the party and he was great!

I would recommend Jeff’s services to anyone and everyone, and if you are on the fence about hiring him – DO IT! You will not regret it!

Before Greg and I even got engaged, we knew Jeff would be the DJ at our wedding. My best friend had him at her wedding and he did such an amazing job that we immediately got our phones out and took his phone number down. After we called our family and friends, Jeff was the next phone call after we got engaged! When it finally came down to planning our reception, he had such great ideas – we completely trusted him, especially since we had already seen him action.

Our reception was held in my parent’s airplane hanger on their property but Jeff was totally comfortable with the unusual space. He worked the room and our crowd with ease. One of the greatest things about Jeff that night though was that he gave us as much time as we needed to connect with family and friends. He checked in with us often to see how everything was going but didn’t make us feel like we were being pressured to wrap up our conversations.

Once the dancing started, that’s when we really started having a lot of fun! Greg’s little sister and aunt, both of whom have disabilities, got up and were dancing away and Jeff made sure that they were very much included, giving them special shout outs all night. And that Bickert mashup! Wow! We hadn’t laughed that hard in a very long time! All of our guests have told us that they had such a fun time at our reception.

There were so many great things about that evening but Jeff really was the highlight. We couldn’t have asked for a better party and would recommend him in a heartbeat. In fact, friends of ours are getting married next summer at my parents as well and have contacted Jeff already! We are so excited to have him come back! Thanks again Jeff!

We are very much looking forward to partying with you again next year for Patti and Bruce’s wedding!

We are so happy we went with DJ HayMaker for our wedding. Don’t let the title ‘DJ’ fool you; he is soooo much more!

A true professional, he took the time to get to know us, had a ton of great insight and suggestions to provide based on his experiences (we honestly didn’t know a lot about weddings as neither of us had been to many!), was available for any questions we or our MC had (he was an amazing help to her!!) and made all of us feel comfortable with how the day would unfold. He was pivotal in making sure the everything rolled along smoothly by queuing us on when to do what; trust me, it is needed when you are in a room of 120 guests, the day has been a whirlwind and there are a number of activities that have to happen!

When it came to music, DJ HayMaker made sure he knew our taste. We like it funky and he delivered. We gave him a list of 10 must have songs and from that, along with reading the mood of our guests on the dance floor, he rocked it! What a great party! Our guests are still raving about how much fun he was.

We cannot say enough about Jeff and the absolutely stellar job he did. He truly loves his work and it shows. We would recommend him to our closest friends and family!!
