In the beginning, we were going to have a really good friend be our MC, but after meeting with DJ Haymaker for only half an hour we changed our mind because he had us smiling from ear to ear the whole time. Out of many questions that he asked us he asked us one main question, “What do you want…

DJ Jeff Haymaker was fantastic. He knew our vision for our wedding was to keep people laughing and having fun all night, and he did not disappoint.

We booked DJ Haymaker for our wedding at Gallagher’s for the ceremony and reception, and he delivered. We approached Jeff early on while we were selecting our vendors, a little under a year before our wedding. He was so up front and friendly, he showed us the whole process, and guided us through his online portal and questionnaire, which we filled out in the months leading up to our wedding. He would reach out to check in and see how we were doing, and offered support and advice (including speech tips) throughout our planning. When it came time for the ceremony, Jeff ensured that the ambiance was fit for the venue. He was self-sufficient, and came prepared with all the necessary equipment, as well as all our song requests that we had prepared for the ceremony. Every single moment was perfect. For the reception, Jeff was our MC as well as our DJ. With his experience working weddings, he knew exactly how to work the crowd, make everyone laugh, and make the timeline flow so well. His mixes were amazing, we had a lot of song requests and he nailed them all. We had so many people come up to us and say how much fun the night was. It truly was a party that we will never forget. Thank you Jeff!!
