No Regrets!!!
What a blast!!! We had the absolute best time. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I wish the night had lasted an extra 5 hours. We have been to weddings where the DJ was horrible, and it really ruined the night. I was so scared that would be our case, music is everything. We were from out of town so it made things even scarier for us. When seeing the price, I thought it was steep but when reading the reviews and seeing that he was also MC and brought games, we decided to take a leap. Man, am I happy we did. He was perfect for our crew. The games are beyond fun, the dance floor was packed all night. His DJ portal, un real had all the details, asked every question in the book and very user-friendly. We even met and had about a 3-hour conversation about vision and expectations. He brought up so many more ideas of ways to make the evening that much better with all the experience he has. He was so much more than just an MC / DJ. I watched him be there time and time again, following the venue's day of planner, coordinating everything to make sure it went as we wished. His mission was to make our day everything we had hoped and more. The smile, the jokes, his amazing energy was refreshing to to see! The only thing I am disappointed about is that I wont be able to have the experience again. I wish he worked at a bar full-time. After the whole experience, it just felt like an old friend. I almost just want to crash all his future wedding, is was that fun. Don't doubt his work, go for it. Impossible, you will regret I promise you! Thank again!! Love The Lajoie's!!!

Best dj ever
Jeff was the lifeblood of our wedding. As our MC he kept the wedding entertaining and flowing so seamlessly through the day. He led us and our guests through so many fun activities and games and kept the whole crowd wildly entertained! As our DJ he absolutely crushed it! Every single one of our guests was on the dance floor, and even the staff at the venue joined in! My husband, who is notoriously never on a dance floor, stayed on the dance floor for the entire night! That’s a true testament to how amazing Jeff is at bringing the party to life!
Leading up to the wedding, Jeff told us he wanted to make sure that we and our guests had the best time ever and he absolutely delivered on that! So many of our guests told us afterwards that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and so much of that was thanks to Jeff! Our friends and family were raving about Jeff for weeks after the wedding and we keep saying how the best decision we made in our planning process was choosing to work with Jeff! Not only is he amazing at DJing and MCing but he is also an incredibly genuine, kind, helpful, and fun-loving person to be around during the planning process and the wedding day itself. He really put us at ease and took away so much stress, we were able to relax and enjoy the whole wedding day knowing we had him there to lead us through everything! We would 1000% recommend DJ Haymaker to anyone who wants to also have the best wedding ever!

Best wedding ever - seriously. Thanks DJ Haymaker!!
We couldn’t have been happier with DJ Haymaker at our wedding. From start to finish, he was an absolute pro. I gave him a couple of playlists to help him understand the vibe we were going for, but I asked him to read the room and make sure the dancefloor stayed full, and he nailed it.
He kept the energy high all night, played exactly what our guests needed in the moment, and even kicked things off with a fun icebreaker game that set the tone for a great evening. So many of our friends told us he was hands-down the best wedding DJ they’ve ever seen.
DJ Haymaker is kind, cool, and seriously knows how to work a room. If you’re looking for someone to keep the good vibes flowing and your guests dancing all night, we can’t recommend him enough.

DJ Haymaker Made our Night!
I cannot express my appreciation for DJ Haymaker (Jeff) in just a few words.
Jeff made my daughter’s wedding exceptional! Additionally, he made my night (Mother of the bride and wedding coordinator) as relaxed as possible.
I feel like the only way to really demonstrate Jeff’s professionalism and expertise it to run through the event.
Arrival at the venue: Jeff took charge! He coordinated with all other hired professionals such as officiant, caterer, bar service & venue staff.
When the ceremony was to start, we all felt completely relaxed with Jeff at the helm. I must mention that this was without an actual rehearsal! Jeff took meticulous history and notes beforehand from the bride and groom and while I was a bit nervous without a rehearsal, my doubts were quickly put to rest.
Timing was perfect and he made sure that was the case; we really couldn’t mess it up.
As soon as the ceremony was over, he went right into Master of Ceremony role along with venue coordinator, security and a host of other roles I hadn’t even thought of like game show host!
The games were perfectly executed and super fun! Everyone laughed out loud! The bride and groom had such a great time!
Once dinner was underway, Jeff knew exactly when to jump in with a game and when to get speeches rolling which made for a great flow of the evening.
The special dances went off perfectly. He had special signals for the couple to indicate when they felt the dance was done which really helped keep the flow and the guest engaged.
The dance floor was PACKED all night long. The music was as requested by the couple.
To sum up, Jeff is your guy! He certainly was “our guy”!
We highly recommend DJ Haymaker. We can’t than Jeff enough for making the day “perfect”.

The most fun, memorable, and entertaining night of my life
When we first had our intro call with Jeff, Jeff was incredibly professional, enthusiastic, and engaged - Jeff listened to what we wanted for our wedding day. Jeff introduced us to the planning portal - we were able to make adjustments to our songs, details about the wedding party, and how we wanted the evening to progress. Jeff came to the wedding rehearsal the night before and helped us finalize the details. We noticed quickly that Jeff isn't just a DJ; he's a wedding planner, MC, games host, entertainer, comedian, and someone we could go to when things were crazy. Throughout the reception, Jeff was always in contact with us, asking how things were going, and what was coming up, and making sure the night ran smoothly. We felt completely at ease - Jeff added in some comedy of his own which we STILL talk about today. As a DJ, Jeff played all our favourite songs, threw in some bangers, and made sure the party was alive till the very end - we had people dancing that we'd never seen dance before. We still hear our guests talk about how much fun they had, how great the music was, and how entertaining our wedding was. Most people missed the late-night snack as we were all on the dancefloor!
We still refer DJ Haymaker to our friends, not only for weddings but for events too. For weddings or other events, you NEED to include DJ Haymaker.
Thank you Jeff for making our wedding the most perfect day.

Surpassed our expectations!
Honestly words can’t fully express how amazing of a decision it was to have Jeff be a part our special day. He helped tame the chaos of our families and channel it into a positive energy that thrived on the dance floor. Our guests still come up to us and remark on how awesome of a DJ and MC Jeff was and we could not be happier with our decision. He also was a major help with the fluidity of the event and coordinated with the vendors to ensure we were able to have everything we want and more. His professionalism, problem solving skills and knowledge throughout was a huge help at calming any anxiety towards the flow of the event. My bridal party even remarked on how incredible it was that he remembered peoples names and the information we gave him prior to the big day on each of them. I am a skeptic at having a perfect day, but with Jeff I was definitely converted into a believer. We can’t thank him enough and would recommend him for any event that strives to be something to blow people’s expectations!

DJ Jeff = epic !!
DJ Jeff!! What an absolute epic experience we had working with you. You were hands down an amazing dj and mc at our wedding who knew how to read the room perfectly and go with the flow. I had so many guests tell me how fun and unique the wedding was. The guests absolutely loved the bridal party introductions. The dance floor was incredible and I looked around at one point and I think the whole wedding was up out of their seats enjoying the night! You went above and beyond supporting us through the ceremony walk-through and the actual big day. I can truly see your passion in entertaining and it’s evident how much you love what you do and want to make others happy and feel celebrated. Not to forget you also sweated it out with us on one of the hottest days of the year with a smile on your face the entire time. The Rubies are forever grateful for you making our wedding day an absolute blast and one we will never forget.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
