Jeff,

You had us at hello!

Thank you so much for all your planning and hard work at our wedding.  I kept thinking “wow, this is a really long day for him!”.

Jane and Derek May

We had heard rave reviews of Jeff’s wedding services, which made our decision to hire him an easy one! The rumors were true.

Where do I start? It all began with asking our wedding designer recommendations for a DJ. She didn’t ramble off a list for us but gave us just one name, Jeff “Haymaker” Hay.

Lavonne & Geoff Stewart

The experience with DJ Haymaker has been nothing short of amazing, from the pre-wedding conversations over the phone to the day of. Our guests got the impression that you had known us for years.

Andrea & Aaron Hersog

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 que…

Darren & Amber Finch

Jeff, I have to tell you that each and every person I spoke to both that night as well as those I’m connecting with since have all told me the same thing – our wedding was by FAR the best wedding that they have EVER attended! Jacob’s grandfather on his dads side hasn’t spoken more than 15 word…

More Than Just Music.

I help your guests connect, laugh, and dance so they leave saying “Best wedding ever!” Beyond music, I run a smooth, personalized show that feels unmistakably you.

READ MY FULL PHILOSOPHY

You’re inviting your favorite people from all over the world — they deserve an amazing celebration. We set a clear outcome (so-worth-the-trip, so-you-two, best-ever) and reverse-engineer the moments that create it.

From creative dinner ideas to turning “clink the glasses” into a memory, I bring MC leadership and interactive fun so, when it’s time to open the floor, your room is a cohesive, ready-to-party crew.

THE MC ADVANTAGE

Your DJ sees hundreds of timelines. I know what works, what doesn’t, and how to adapt the energy. I’ll guide the flow, keep your VIP moments on time, and make transitions feel effortless.
