Jeff hay is the best D.J. I have ever partied with. He is a true professional and does more than spin tunes. Jeff provides a total evening of entertainment, including unique ways ofgetting people up and dancing. Guests at my party danced the night away and he was a real hit. He is good with both a younger group or more mature people – (my friends are in their 50’s and 60’s). Everyone raved about him, his music, his professionalism, and no one sat down when he started working.

He is more than a D.J. He is a performer and a true gentleman.

From the Mother of the Bride…

Jeff was a constant support to us in the planning of our wedding. We were reluctant to believe that he was there to help us organize our entire day, but he kept reassuring us he was there to help with much more than just the musical portion. He was always available with phone contact and he constantly encouraged us to make use of his experience and expertise.

The wedding was phenomenal. We had a wide variety of ages and interests at the reception, but Jeff’s games made everyone feel involved and entertained. He orchestrated the introduction of the head table for the master of ceremonies and his format set the tone of humor for the night. His game Survivor really got the tables interacting with each other as they competed to fulfill his challenges.

By the time the dance started, everyone was fully prepared to have a great time. The ice was clearly broken and Jeff’s medley of hats that were used in the games and dancing. The hats were a constant source of entertainment as people kept passing them around throughout the night. Even families with small children who had to leave early didn’t feel gyped because they had so much fun while they were there.

As the parent who sponsored the wedding, I felt totally supported at all times. Jeff was constantly surveying the crowd and making judgements and adjustments about what was the best thing to do at the best time. Everything he did was coordinated with the family, the caterer, the wedding party and the MC. No one was anxious or in doubt about what to do when and because he was so in charge we could all de-stress and just have a good time.

I would highly recommend him–he is not just a DJ. He’s a performer, an organizer, a supporter and energizer that will make your event one to remember for each and every guest that attends. Do not hesitate to hire him. He is truly the best. Thanks Jeff!!!

Thanks to DJ Haymaker, our wedding was a huge success.

Not only did Jeff provide assistance and offer so many great ideas at the beginning stages of the planning, he also offered his support all the way until the Big Day! He is not just a a fantastic DJ, he helped with planning, decorations, themes, Event Timeline, and even offered advice and suggestions on how to make the whole process a little less stressful. He combined our ‘unique’ and personalized ideas with his own extensive knowledge of Wedding do’s and Don’ts, to provide us with a once in a lifetime memory to share with our family & friends.

People had commented as they were partying late into the night (and early morning) what a blast they were having! The music, as diverse as we had requested, was a focal point for us, and Jeff managed to incorporate everyones tastes as well as our own ‘interesting’ musical requests and make our Reception the best (censored) party that they had EVER been to. The games were fun and hilarious, and got every single person involved, smiling and having a fantastic time. From our tear-jerking first dance, to the crazy games that our guests played, the funky hats my son and everyone else wore all night, and finally to our hardcore, guitar solo-ing 9 year-old daughter, Jeff kept the party rocking all night long!

The comment I remember most clearly is “So who’s getting married next?” lol…as if anyone could top our Wedding/Reception!

Thanks again for being a source of support & information, for listening to our needs and wants and helping us mesh it all together, for checking in on me (The Bride) throughout long months, and the day and night of the Wedding, and for being an overall, hands down the most super-fantastic DJ / MC ever!

A day and night we will NEVER forget! Thanks Jeff!

Dear Jeff,

On behalf of the whole team here at the Delta Grand, I thank you ever so much for one of the best parties we’ve had. The Oscar theme went off without a hitch,thanks to your advice and expertise.

We have had you perform at our staff party for the last few years, and we have no plans of changing that anytime soon. You always do a fantastic job and it just wouldn’t be a great party without you.

I highly recommend you to all of my clients and friends and can do so without any hesitation. Keep up the great work and thanks again for everything.

Sincerely,
Melissa Grassmick

Jeff Hay has consistently been the number one requested and selected DJ in Kelowna since he started up his company. He comes highly recommended from Manteo Resort as he is a pleasure to work with leading up to a function and during the function. Prior to, he knows exactly what he needs from us and lets us know well in advance, and when he is onsite for the function he is extremely professional and helps guide us through functions when there are any last minute changes or delays.

It is amazing to watch him in action because even if he has only met the wedding couple once or twice, it feels like he has known them for their entire lives. He can step into the role of MC with ease and there is never a dull moment. For our Corporate groups, he is a great entertainer and gets the group involved as a whole and relaxed for the evening!

Hey Jeff,
Attached is a letter thanking you for the contribution of your time on Nov 13th for Justin’s fundraiser. Formality aside, I want to thank you personally for finding it in your heart to take on a small, private event like this no questions asked. Your generosity made the event. Plain and simple. It would not have been the successful night that it was without you and your energy.). A silly little letter doesn’t seem like enough to thank you…

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your generous donation of your time to our event that was held on November 13th, 2009 called A Fundraiser for a “Buddy”. This event was created to raise money for a colleague, Justin, whom is battling cancer for the second time before his 30th birthday. It was our goal to provide Justin with a portion of the costs for his upcoming treatment in the New Year. Your donation of your time and services truly made our event. The energy you provided throughout the night was contagious; many people said it was the best night out they have had in years. The event wouldn’t have had the level of success that did if it were not for you. Overall, we raised $4500.00 to go towards his treatment costs. Moreover, his family had the opportunity to see him have an amazing night surrounded by people who truly care which at the end of the day, is a priceless occasion. I continue to receive calls from his friends and family back home thanking me for this event and the opportunity for Justin to celebrate his life with the people he cares about the most. In turn, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your contribution to this event. It was, in all intents and purposes, a huge success.

Sincerely,

BEST DJ EVER!!!!!!

Our dream wedding at Summerhill was an amazing event. Jeff not only played the best music that everyone loved, but he was the best ever MC. Our guests had two things to say about the wedding.

The food was wonderful and
Your DJ is awesome.

The night went off without a hitch and mostly because of Jeff’s experience and organization. Our Guests were so excited to start dancing that in our first dance we got pushed off the dance floor because there was no more room left. Absolutely everyone danced that night. Old and Young. Jeff is so friendly and absolutely wonderful to work with. He made it his job to get to know us so that our wedding was uniquely tailored for us. My husband who is an audiophile commented that Jeff’s equipment was of very high fidelity. I would agree!!

Thank you for making our wedding a memory of a lifetime.

We had an amazing reception. From the appetizers being served while big band music played, to our entrance with the Black Eyed Peas and the the music during our receiving line. Jeff set the mood of the evening and kept us in good spirits.

The week prior to the wedding Jeff took the time to meet with us and find out what we truly wanted from our reception. We told him we wanted to have a fun party with good music and a light atmosphere. Jeff managed to keep the party going and even during dinner. We loved the “Newlywed Game” and the game to get our teams into dinner service. After dinner they played the survivor game and it really brought the guests together. Tables that were next to each other but didn’t know one another were laughing and talking. The hats during the dancing were great.

I would recommend DJ Haymaker to any event. He is amazing.

Jeff… WOOOOOOOOHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOO! I think that about covers how we felt about Sunday night! From the beginning of the ceremony to the end of the reception it was ABSOLUTELY perfect 🙂 Thank you for all your help in putting our wedding together!!

Lyndsay and I are from the lower mainland but spent a year planning our destination wedding in the Okanagan. We knew we wanted to have an amazing party, especially since most of our guests were coming from out of town, and we needed to find a kickass DJ who would make this party happen. We first found out about Jeff though a local DJ in Vancouver who said that if we were looking for the best of the best in the Okanagan, Jeff Hay was the guy. After browsing his website and reading all the feedback from clients, it was pretty apparent that Jeff had the reputation of a saint! When we found out Jeff was available for our wedding date, we booked him right away without hesitation.

Jeff made a huge contribution to our wedding planning in the months leading up to the big day. Numerous phone calls, emails and a meeting over coffee was just the beginning. When we first booked Jeff to be our DJ, we thought he would be just that… a DJ! However, we soon came to realize that he was SO MUCH MORE. Not only did he come up with many suggestions for the actual wedding day, he recommended florists to us, he helped us find a limo company and a marriage commissioner. He also spent a great deal of time helping us edit songs and music to be used in our big day. We liked Jeff so much that we soon decided it was not enough to just have him play DJ at our reception….so he soon became our MC as well as the sound man for our outdoor ceremony.

Our actual wedding day was amazing, thanks in large part to Jeff! When we walked into the reception, Jeff immediately had everything under control and we did not have to worry about a thing! The party atmosphere was well under way from the beginning, thanks in large part to Jeff’s awesome games. The dinner quiz, newlyweds game, and Survivor, had us and our guests in hysterics. It was amazing what some our guests would do in order to be crowned the sole survivor!

Once Jeff’s tickle trunk of hats and wigs made their appearance and the dancing was underway, it was clear that the party was still going strong. Friends and relative that don’t usually dance were cutting a rug on the dance floor, loosening their ties and walking around in some of Jeff’s crazy hats! Jeff played all the hits, including all of our requests. Our biggest disappointment was when the clock struck twelve and the reception was over. Nobody wanted to leave, not even Jeff! Sensing this, Jeff somehow managed to get permission to keep the party going for another hour, which absolutely made our night and the night of our guests.

At the end of the night, the comments I heard from our guests included: “Is the DJ a friend of yours?”, “Where did you find that guy?”, “Your DJ was FANTASTIC!”, “Will your DJ travel to the lower mainland?” and “That was the best wedding ever!”

Thank you for such an amazing night Jeff! We could not have done it without you. Don’t hesitate to book Jeff for your next event… and invite us to it!

From the Mother of the Groom

Dear Jeff,

I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for making my Son, Robin and Daughter-in law, Lynsey’s wedding perfect. You made the difference between a nice wedding and the wedding that everyone is still talking about.
Having you as the M.C. for the evening was great. You took care of absolutely everything and made sure all went smoothly. I loved all the games throughout the evening, especially the flag game and the musical chairs/Survivor game. I still smile every time I picture the wedding party coming into the reception. It was like announcing the MVP’s for the top ranking Football team.

I would definitely recommend you to anyone who wants to put together any social event. You are able to read people like no other. Thank you for making his event the talk of our families and friends. Every part of the night fit with the bride and groom so perfectly. It was like you had been friends of our families for years. You take the time to make sure the event is exactly what is needed and was enjoyed by all. Can’t wait to see you at the next social event!

Thanks again,
Judy
