Budd & Steph Stanley

DJ Haymaker is honestly the best entertainer/DJ/MC for hire that there is! During the months before the wedding, we met a few times, for about an hour and a half each time, to really talk about the wedding and what our vision for the evening was, as well as just to give him an opportunity to get to …

Brianna and Gerard

We got married on September 1st, 2017 in Kelowna, and our wedding was amazing!  It went off without a hitch, and a large part was due to Jeff.  Having an amazing DJ was so important to us, and picking the best was a no brainer.

HI Jeff,

I just wanted to send you a note to let you know how much we appreciated all you did to make our daughter’s fairy tale wedding come true! Chelsea was telling us about you last summer, before she and Matt were even engaged. Now we understand why she was so excited when you had Augus…

Sherri & Dave

He is the ultimate wedding host. He is part wedding planner, superb emcee, host, comedian, creative inspiration, marriage counselor (kidding, but true!) He has so much experience doing weddings and incredible events, he knows what works, what doesn’t and is truly a perfect ‘master of ceremony’.

Jeff got…

David & Lindsay Boyd

If you have even spoken to Jeff on the phone you get a great idea of how much enthusiasm he will bring to your celebration. He is fully involved in the process from the start and even plays the role of wedding planner with his hints and tips. He really gets involved and knew the names of many of our guests by the end of the night….
