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.

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.

amazing experience

Jeff, thank you so much for making our wedding the amazing event it was. Our guests are still talking about "the awesome MC/DJ, who nailed the music". Furthermore, we completely appreciated all of your help leading up to the wedding. Your wisdom and suggestions for making things run smoothly were valuable.

The level of detail you put in to gathering info about us and our bridal party was impressive. It was really neat to have our love story and quirks woven into a game at the reception. Jeff we are grateful that you were a part of our special day. Thank you.

Best Kelowna DJ!

Do you want people to say "Your wedding was sooo much fun!" and "Your DJ was amazing!" and "There was great music all night!"? If so, you're in the right place.

I've seen Jeff at many weddings and eventually hired him myself for my wedding. He truly goes above and beyond what anyone would expect for a wedding DJ.

The guests absolutely loved him and his ability to get the crowd going and keep everyone hyped up on the dance floor all night... which is exactly what I wanted for my wedding!
Jeff was able to read the room all night and know exactly what song to play next, and it was perfect!

Thanks Jeff!!

Best Night of My Life

I can’t begin to explain how great Jeff was for our wedding. I've lost count of how many of my friends and family have said this was the best wedding they've ever been to. Jeff made that possible.

He was thoughtful and intentional in his planning and collaboration with us prior to our wedding. He was thorough in ensuring everything would proceed as smooth as possible, even when we threw last minute plans at him. The games he chose brought our various friend groups together, and his playlist kept people dancing until the end of the night. Hands down the best night of my life.

Best wedding DJ and MC

The best DJ and MC out there!
Jeff was incredible! He took the time to get to know us as a couple and what was important to us for our big day. He asked all the right questions and had many creative ideas to make our wedding perfect. He promised THE BEST DAY EVER, and he did not disappoint!
His games, activities, and DJ skills set the vibe of our day, and you could tell how much everyone was enjoying themselves with how much laughter was in the air. He played the best songs and had everyone up busting a move!
All of our guests have told us how amazing the day was and how much fun they had, and a huge part of that is thanks to Jeff! We cannot thank him enough and HIGHLY recommend him for your wedding!
Thank you for helping making our wedding day, the best day ever!

Jared and Yeonseo's Wedding Day

DJ Haymaker helped to make our wedding day one that we will cherish and remember forever.
Jeff takes the time to learn about the bride and groom as well as their family and friends, making the experience much more personal and relatable for everyone involved. This really shone through during the activities and games that he plans for the reception.
His music program is a huge bonus and it really helped to plan the little details for our wedding. This includes the pre-ceremony music, ceremony, and reception music. He is a world-class DJ and anybody in the market for one will not be disappointed by choosing him for their event.
We truly feel that DJ Haymaker cared about our special day and that he would go the extra mile to make sure everyone was happy.
Thank you so much Jeff!

Jeff, the MC/DJ you need for your wedding.

You can have the best food, the best venue, the best family and friends, but without an amazing MC/DJ your special day will not be complete. And this person to us was Jeff (DJ Haymaker).

Let's start with the MC part; Jeff is personable and will make sure to get to know your guest. He is a fun guy to talk to and brought us some fun game for our guests to enjoy and have fun. His love story was one of many highlights of the day. You know you chose the right guy when your friends tell you how amazing he was 2 weeks later.

Now the dj part; DJ Haymaker knows how to read the crowd. Not only did he played all the song that we and our guests requested, he also made sure to play what made people dance. He had a 10 minutes killer mix/mashup that got a lot of people dancing. He got us dancing all night long.

It has been 2 weeks since our special day and one person that made it so special was definitely Jeff. He is more than just a DJ/MC, he was truly a great help to make our wedding day special, and he made sure that our family and friends had a blast.

Thank you so much Jeff, we truly cannot thank you enough for your help.

Best Wedding Ever!

Jeff Hay was indescribably good. He made our wedding so much fun and people were always on the dance floor despite it being very hot inside the venue. He played lots of games and interacted with all our guests and can read a room like no other! On our wedding day and in the month or so after the fact people still come up to us to tell us that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been to and we owe that entirely to Jeff. It truly is the wedding that everyone else's wedding is compared to with most guests speaking very highly of the DJ and the experience he gave.
Thank you, Jeff, for making our wedding one to remember!

We didn't want our night to end!

We didn't want the night to end! Jeff promised that our guests, and we, would leave feeling like this was the best celebration and he delivered! Jeff knew how to read the room, and bring the whole party together. Thanks for making our day extra memorable, Jeff!!
