Hi Jeff!!!
Well…Isadora and I just got back from Kelowna and we must say…wow…I’m not sure if you want to hear what we went through those 4 days but here it is (it gives you some perspective).
We arrived on Thursday to find out that one of my groomsman Andrew (the big black guy) had a mild heart attack
Did our rehearsal on Friday morning…found out that our rental place screwed us out of check in time 4pm instead of what was on our contract 3pm.
Fire was on Saturday…friends canceled from Vancouver…
Cousin’s house went up in smoke from the fire…
Aunts that were with the cousin produced enough drama from this fire event to choke an elephant…
My mom’s car broke down on the trip up to Kelowna…
My friend’s car broke down in Kelowna…heading back this weekend to go get it..
That night after the reception…found out there was no water at the rental house…used pool water to flush.
Water came back in the morning only to lose it again Monday night.
Ran around all day Monday dealing with the city and waterworks…nice honeymoon eh?
…this is only a bit of it…
The long and short of it?
If it wasn’t for YOU Jeff….the WHOLE weekend would have sucked badly. You took our minds off what was happening…took us away from the drama. We want to thank you for that.
All in all…YOU impressed sooo many people. As a result..you WILL be recommended for other gigs as a lot of people are asking who you are and asking for details of your services. Emily (maid of honour) has asked for your info…she is western Canada’s music rep for Warner Music and has a friend that is London Drug’s buyer…which is asking for you. This friend I guess lives in Peachland…I think….and will probably be asking for you. Is it ok if we forward your info?
As for the rest of the night…again…thank you Jeff. As an ex DJ…you have me beat hands down!
I love the energy, the games, the experience! I’d love to work with you again…I know…there’s not too many times you get to work with THIS type of crowd!
For the comments on your website…I can’t gather the right words to describe the night fully. Comments are still coming in!

Comments:
My wife and I just came back from our reception still pumped even days after. Jeff IS the DJ you want. Having worked in the DJ industry in Kelowna, I can honestly say that he is the best in the Okanagan. He will not disappoint.
Our wedding took place in the middle of the July 2009 Kelowna fires and we expected a somber reception. Jeff brought our spirits up and electrified the atmosphere with his games and personality.
Our guests and family arrived at the beginning of the night strangers and left at the end good friends with “high fives” and back slapping. From the very little information that the groom gave Jeff (sorry Jeff!) he made everyone come together. At the end of the night…comments like “it’s over?” and “where did you find your DJ? He’s incredible” were coming from all of our guests.
We highly recommend making Jeff your MC of the night. This may seem against tradition but you will not regret it as Jeff is professional, works well under pressure and makes the reception flow better than any MC I have ever seen.
The night was side splitting from entrance to last dance. There was not one moment that Jeff didn’t have something “up his sleeve”. From bride/groom kissing games to the infamous “Survivor” you WILL be rolling with laughter that your guests will remember forever.
For a night to remember….You MUST hire DJ HayMaker…
Again, thank you Jeff.

When we first met with Jeff, we discussed what our goals were for the wedding and what we wanted people to walk away saying, we wanted everyone to say that wedding was the most fun out of any other weddings we have been too. Throughout the whole planning process, Jeff was always so full of energy and you could tell that he really loved his job. We knew at that point that our wedding was going to be a hit!
Then, after our wedding, we got feedback from everyone that attended that it was the best wedding they have ever been to! It was fun, energetic, and good for all ages. Jeff did such an amazing job as MC and DJ of our wedding, and made it everything we wanted it to be and more. If you want your wedding to be an absolute blast, DJ Haymaker will make it happen.
We recommend him to everyone looking for an amazing wedding experience!

FANTASTIC! Great night! All of our guests commented on how great DJ Haymaker was and how much fun they had at the reception. This is exactly the responses we wanted. Many of our guests said our wedding reception was the best they have ever been to.
We knew right away we made a great decision when we selected Haymaker. Jeff was fully involved and committed to our wedding reception right from the beginning. He always held a positive attitude and showed a lot of enthusiasm during the planning stages and always initiated contact to meet up and confirm the details.
Jeff was not only our DJ/MC he was a huge part of our wedding team, almost like our own personal wedding planner! From the minute by minute agenda he had for the big day – we knew we were in great hands. Jeff had everything under control and kept things moving along the entire night.
His games and trunk full of goodies were a big hit with all of our guests – young and old!
Thanks Jeff, for giving us a night we will remember forever!
Brent & Danielle Harris
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 your guests to say about your wedding when it is all said and done?” All we said was that we wanted it to be fun and that is exactly what it was, in fact it was ten times more fun and better than we imagined.
All our family and friends were coming up to us the whole night telling us that our DJ/Mc is absolutely hilarious and puts on a really amazing show. Even months after the wedding people still comment that our wedding was the best that they have ever been to and we owe all the credit to DJ Haymaker. So if you want your wedding to turn out better than you can ever possibly imagine, then have DJ Haymaker as your DJ and MC. You will not be disappointed.
Thanks for making the best day of our lives even that much more better. See you at our next function!. Thanks again.

“Best wedding ever!”
“I didn’t know weddings could be this fun!”
Just some of the comments posted by our guests on Facebook the day following our wedding. Jeff made our day an absolute thrill. We actually changed our wedding day just so we could hire him. From the day we brought him on board, he offered great professional advice regarding planning, hiring of personnel, wedding day timetables, songs and even ideas about little things such as table names.
He possesses an innate talent to read and understand a crowd and to respond accordingly. Drawing from his years of experience, he took our routine wedding and helped to create an incredible, unique day of entertainment. If you want a wedding to be fun and memorable from the minute the first guest arrives at the ceremony, to the time the last person leaves the dance floor, Jeff is your guy!

Hey Jeff!
WOW…what a day! We want to send you the BIGGEST thank you!!! We’d worked along side you many a times and knew how much fun you could create so knew we had to have you DJ our wedding; but to be on the other side and have you run the party was amazing! PARTY…is exactly what we wanted our night to be and you helped us to accomplish that with a BANG!!! So many of our guests have commented on how they have never been to such a fun wedding and what an awesome DJ we had. Jeff you ROCK!!!
The party was fantastic…the little games…survivor…the music…the hat trunk…guests can’t stop talking about survivor and that hat trunk Kendall loved it…oops sorry some took home hats! We can’t count the number of times someone has said to me how all the games mixed things up and kept them on the edge of their seats all night. Everyone from Kendall to my grandparents had an incredible time. We can’t tell you enough how amazing you are at what you do!
We wanted everyone to walk away from our wedding saying that was AMAZING…the BEST PARTY EVER!!! We definitely had a very memorable day thanks to you! Here are a few photos of our night.
Thank you a million times Jeff!

From our first meeting with Jeff, we knew immediately that we wanted him to be our DJ for the wedding. He was very personable, easy to work with, and came to the table with great ideas and helped us with our vision from the very first meeting. He was excited to get involved with our planning and followed up with us throughout the process. He gave us lots of ideas and a great agenda based on how we wanted our day to go. We provided him with all the things we wanted to happen that day and he was able to give us a very clear outlined schedule. It gave us piece of mind knowing that our day was so well organized. His templates to get to know us were great and they gave us guidance as to what we needed to get done.
But none of that compared to his follow through. The wedding day was fantastic. It was fun, funny, and all the while it retained its classy, traditional elements. From the actual wedding ceremony to the reception he made sure that things were moving along and that the energy level was always high. Even when we had problems at the reception he helped us find quick solutions and helped us make it so that everyone thought our dancers were suppose to perform outside all along.
Now that the wedding is over and we visit with friends and family who attended everyone says the same thing… “WOW, that was a great wedding”, “Best wedding I have ever been to”, “Definately the wedding to be measured against” and the other common comment is “Was the DJ one of your close
friends it was like he knew you so well as well as everyone in the room!” Everyone also commented on how fun the games were and how he got everyone in the entire room involved. His trunk of goodies provided entertainment for the games and throughout the entire night.
Its fantastic that we did not have to worry about anything and we really haven’t even talked about the great job that he did with the music- the main reason we hired him!
We are so grateful that we had Jeff as a part of our wedding team and would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ who really has taken the job of being a DJ to the next level and wants their night to be a memorable one.
Thanks so much Jeff,
Newlyweds James and Rita Clark
First time we have written that down!!!

DJ Haymaker was a fantastic addition to our wedding day.
He met with us on more than one occasion prior to our wedding and took a genuine interest in what we wanted for our wedding ceremony and reception. He brought great enthusiasm and attention to detail to our day. He knows people and knows how to work a crowd and make an event flow. He had many suggestions for games to get people up and moving and while we were a bit hesitant at first we eventually decided that he knew more than we did about what works and what doesn’t and that it was best to just let him do his thing. We had no regrets.
From the “Survivor” game to his supply of goofy hats he was a hit with our guests, many of whom took the time to tell us what a great job he did and how much fun they had. He assisted with countless technical details throughout the day which freed us up to enjoy ourselves.
Jeff has taken the role of “DJ” to new heights and we have no hesitation recommending him!!

DJ Haymaker played at our Wedding on June 20th, 2009 and he was amazing!
He kept our wedding guests entertained by keeping their energy up with all the wonderful games played. He knew how to handle the horrid tinkling of glasses in such a classy manner by making guests work for our kisses. Our Wedding was elegant and fun … all the guests had a great time … even family members who never dance at weddings, and we’ve been to many weddings, were up dancing and having a blast! By the end of the night we had so many guests thanking us for an amazing and fun experience.
You know it was a great party when guests who have kids fore warn you that they will be leaving early and then they are one of the last few sticking around. When I asked my friends why they stayed so long they said they were having too much fun to leave and the music was so awesome that they just had to stay and they were sad the night was over.
Jeff Hay is a classy guy, who is witty and sounds great behind a microphone. I am confident he can handle the most challenging of crowds, just as my family was. I can’t say how thankful we are for his expertise and his ideas that we had not considered. Jeff does not disapoint … the only disappointment would be if you couldn’t book him for your special day…
Thanks Jeff for making our Wedding day so memorable and fun! We wish you all the best and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

I truly feel that having Jeff as our DJ was the best wedding decision we made. I was an out of town bride and completely lost as to where to start even planning my wedding. Jeff was a tremendous help he suggested venues, JP’s and Rev’s and caterers. It was all fabulous, I wouldn’t have changed anything. Once I arrived in town I finally got to meet Jeff in person. He took time to hear my wedding vision and used his experience to suggest things that I never would have thought of not just for the music but the timing and flow of the evening. We really went over almost all aspects of our special day and Jeff had so many ideas on how to make it even better than I could have imagined.
At our reception countless numbers of our guests came up to us and said it was most fun wedding they had ever attended. You should see my facebook home page!!! So many people couldn’t believe how much fun they had!! The dance floor was packed all night, there were really no dull moments. I was also able to sit back and relax and not worry about a thing. Jeff was always on step ahead anticipating our needs and liaising with the caterer. I honestly can’t say enough he was fantastic, definitely the DJ Supreme!
Thank you again! I can’t wait to have another party!!
