From moment one, you were available to us for any question we had, you were are DJ, MC and wedding coordinator all in one! Your knowledge as well as your confidence and enthusiasm helped make our special day run smoothly. You really were are secret weapon for all the fun! All the guests had a blast, the games really got the party started…(I think it was the hat collection) and the music was a perfect mix to get everyone up to dance!

Thank you Jeff for being an amazing person, your love for a good party really shines!

Jeff, as you can imagine planning a BC wedding from Ontario had its challenges – working with our DJ was not one of them! Your help from day one in planning our beautiful wedding is very much appreciated. We loved how you were able to bring all of our guests together comfortably to enjoy themselves while getting to know each other. All of our guests at one point or another have commented on how great DJ Haymaker was, how unique our wedding was, and how much fun they had on your behalf – the objectives we set out together for our wedding were definitely surpassed.

Thank you for helping make our special day so memorable for everyone who attended.

Thank-you Jeff for making our wedding such an amazing and memorable event! It was the rainiest day in Kelowna’s history and you really made it shine. You helped us find the best songs for every part of our very special day,and helped us all relax and have a great time. We loved the games and the dancing, and having you as our MC was the best decision we made- we had nothing to worry about all night, it was perfect! Our friends and family all told us it was hands-down the best party they had ever been to and how they wished it could happen every year 🙂 You were a huge part of the best day of our lives and we really appreciate all the hard work you did to make our
night complete.

Our wedding was also a very special night because it was the last night of my dad’s life, as he passed away the next morning while hiking at 9am. We had a beautifully orchestrated father-daughter dance, a combination of ‘Daddy’s Little Angel’ with an old favourite of mine and my dad’s, ‘Twist and Shout’ to create the best first dance I could have asked for. He told me right before we left that it had been the best, most fun, night of his life and was so honoured to have been part of it. I have to thank you for making this such a great night for all of us, especially for my dad who was taken from us too soon…

A week after we got engaged, my best friend told me “first and foremost – book your DJ!!!”” DJ Haymaker was highly recommended to me from a few people so I called Jeff! My excitement soon turned into disappointment when he was already booked for our wedding day. He did not hang up on us though – he said “Even if I can’t DJ at your wedding, I am going to help you get a great DJ… I will not leave you hanging!” Jeff emailed us that day a list of DJs that he considered to be the next best in town. Five phone calls later – Five other already booked DJs. Feeling a little distraught – I took Jeff up on his offer to help if we weren’t having any luck. So I called and reminded him who I was and that he was already booked but had given me a list of five other fabulous DJs to call. I told him I was calling to see who was #6 on his referral list? He asked me to repeat the date for him, his reaction: “Wow – I had a cancellation just 48 hours ago for that very date!” We were beyond thrilled – we booked Jeff and everything was taken care of as of that moment…

Jeff is not only a DJ – he is a behind the scenes’ wedding guru, planner, pro, god! Next he emailed us lists of referrals for recommendations on florists, photographers, and even wedding commissioners. We appreciated everything Jeff gave us for advice, every suggestion he made was simply that, a suggestion, he wanted to help us to create ‘our’ day. He asked us what we wanted people to say or experience at our wedding. We could only come up with one word – FUN. We wanted to have people say that it was the most FUN that they had ever had a wedding. And he delivered that is exactly what guests at our wedding said in the following days. Even 2 months later, friends and family are still talking about our FUN wedding and our AWESOME DJ!

Our favorite thing about our families getting together is that they like to have a great time and are always up for laughs and games. The Newlywed Game, Survivor and the Table Quizzes were the greatest. They broke the ice, got people laughing and having fun getting to know each other at a table – you know the table of those strays – the bride’s boss and his wife, the groom’s former co-workers from previous jobs, and the bride and groom’s stag friend – all at the same table. Hardly a few words or smiles shared until the games came out. It was awesome – especially the trunk of HATS.

Events, even weddings, never seem to go off without at least one glitch. Somehow we managed to neglect to inform Jeff of the change to one of our songs for the ceremony. So about 10 minutes before the ceremony Jeff asked Greg was there anything particular that we wanted to walk out to? Greg told him the song and checked in with Jeff a few minutes later to see if he had it. Jeff smiled and gave him the thumbs up and said “Just downloaded it on my phone”.

Everything DJ Haymaker did was so slick – Greg and I both new that he would be a great DJ – but we had no idea how AMAZING of a DJ/Wedding Planner/Coach/Entertainer/Friend that Jeff Hay is and how much more he brings to your wedding experience. His expertise is untouchable. Jeff is soooo in tune with his bride and groom that he reads every step before they are taken. He had every next move planned out and every one of his suggestions was as if he was reading our minds.

Jeff, thanks for everything you did for us up to and including our wedding and for the memories that we and every one of our guests left with that night after we all partied the night right to the very last minute… never wanting the night to end.

YOU ROCK THE PARTY

Jennifer & Greg Browne

PS… I have a feeling that we will definitely being seeing more of you, because since our wedding every one of our friends wants to have you for a DJ in their future weddings.

Brandee & Jay Atkinson

Thanks for everything you have done for us. You where more than just a DJ as you meet with us numerous times before the day helping us plan everything for timeline, to are vision of a great party.

Your ability to read people is amazing as you took what you learned about us and made our wedding feel personal and unique. We cannot thank you enough for all your help.

We felt that you where more are wedding planner, rather than are DJ. With you being so in tune to are day it made it easy for us to sit back and enjoy are day. T

The party that you gave us was one we will remember for every as we still are getting told how much fun it was.

Thanks so much we would not have been able to do it without all your help.

Kim & Aaron David

Jeff,

Aaron and I cannot stop talking about what an amazing day we had. You were very right in everything you said.

You were basically the backbone to the entire day.  We really could not have done it without you…food poisoning and all. You are such an amazing person and there is a reason why you are as busy as you are.  I know that everyone at the wedding had an incredible time and it will be remembered as one of the greatest weddings ever.

I wish you the best of luck this summer with all of the other weddings. We are now your number one fans so you may just become even busier….if that is possible.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you again. You went above and beyond what any dj/mc would do.

Jen & Ryan Bellanger

Wow, honestly I cannot think of another word to describe it, everything was better than we could have imagined, from helping us plan and choose our music. To helping alleviate Jenn’s worries in the days before the wedding. Everything was great from the games we played games and laughed at and the singing and dancing into the night. Everyone had a fantastic time and wanted to do it all over again.

Thank you so much for helping make our day better than we ever could have hoped.

The new Mr. and Mrs. Bellanger

When we had decided to have our wedding in Kelowna, we checked out many different venues. At each venue, we were told that the BEST DJ to book, and the one that would GUARANTEE a great party would be DJ Haymaker. At the time we found this quite interesting that every venue would give the same recommendation.

As a couple, we determined that having a FUN and ENTERTAINING wedding was at the top of our list, so we booked our wedding date based on DJ Haymakers’ availability 🙂

Looking back on our wedding now, we know that we made the right choice. Our wedding was nothing less than amazing, and our guests are still raving about how great Jeff was. We would recommend Jeff to anyone that wants to have a blast at their own wedding.

Thanks again Jeff!! We are all slowly recovering… the wedding was a great time and we owe much of it to you 🙂
