“I gotta feeling… that tonight’s gonna be a good night”

Jeff, those words continuously play through our minds and words can’t express how amazing our night was! From the moment we had met, we knew you were the perfect person to have our musical needs fulfilled at our…

DJ Haymaker was an absolute GEM and truly one of the highlights of the final night of our summer convention!

Planning this event came with its own unique logistical challenges. We were unfamiliar with the area and, from across the country, needed to conduct scouting trips to secure the right venues, accommodations and entertainment for our group. During every site visit and every meeting with a hospitality professional, I asked the same question: “Who would you recommend for entertainment?” One name came up again and again — DJ Haymaker.

I was quickly told that booking Jeff would be nearly impossible within our nine-month booking window, particularly for a summer weekend. As luck would have it, our closing night fell on a Monday — and Jeff happened to be available. Even more incredibly, it was his mother’s birthday. Jeff went above and beyond, moving his own family celebration to the following day so that he could be there for our event. That level of commitment and willingness to make it work meant so much to us and set the tone for what turned out to be an exceptional evening.

From the very beginning, Jeff was exceptionally prepared and incredibly intentional about understanding our event. He took the time to research our company and learn about key participants so that his talking points and interactions felt relevant, personal and authentic. That level of preparation made a huge difference and demons…

Jeff is one of a kind! When we were searching for a wedding DJ in Kelowna, I knew that we had to go with the “Haymaker” just from all of the great stories that I have heard from his events. Experiencing it first hand at my own wedding really confirmed that we made the PERFECT decision having Jeff be a part of our weddi…

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 an…

All we can say is what an amazing experience booking our DJ was. From the very first meeting with DJ Haymaker, he made you feel like you have been friends for a very very long time.

When Chris and I first started planning our wedding it was overwhelming.

We were given all these dates to choose from and all these vendors who you don’t know a thing about until you review review review on Google. Very time consuming. Since Chris and I lived in Calgary and our wedding was in Kelowna making decisions was even mo…

I hired Jeff as my MC, DJ, and coordinator for my wedding day. This was the best decision I made for my wedding because Jeff played such a large role leading up to and on the big day. He offered me great advice for timeline, recommendations for different officiants, and was genuinely interested in helping to ensure e…
