Having you as our wedding dj made our wedding what it was. Ever since our wedding, friends of ours have been saying it was the best wedding they have ever been to! (always followed by “That DJ guy was hilarious!!) The music of course was fantastic but you gave us so much more as well. The games played during the reception broke up the evening perfectly and, I think, helped loosen everyone up to have a great time. Even though I was planning the wedding long distance – your advice, recommendations, and tips were a huge help during the planning process. I sincerely would recommend you to ANYONE planning an event because your games, music, and energy during the reception made our wedding truly unforgettable. Thank you so much for taking part in our day, it was absolutely perfect, thanks to you!’

Good luck in the future, and take care!

Jeff,

We had the best time at the wedding, and it took a week to recover!

First off, I’d like to say how much we appreciated everything you did to make the planning as easy as possible. You had great ideas, and were very accommodating of ours. We really loved being able to see our vision for the night come to life, and your professionalism and experience definitely made that happen and more!

Throughout the night, Jonathan and i kept commenting to each other that it was the best night of our lives. You made the whole evening flow seamlessly, and more importantly, made it incredibly fun for us and everyone that was there.

Since the wedding we have had nothing but excellent comments from our guests, each person saying that it was the best wedding they’d ever been to. You were obviously a huge part of that and we can’t thank you enough.

We’ll be sure to pass along all our friends to you for their events, and if we ever throw a big party in the future, you can be sure we’ll call on you!

Thanks again!

Pat & I would like to sincerely thank you for helping make our wedding day “a day to remember” for all of our guests. We continue to hear “It was the BEST WEDDING EVER” and it was your presence is integral in that statement. Everyone absolutely loved playing the games & dressing up in funky hats/wigs. The dance floor was always packed & most of us seriously couldn’t walk the next day. We greatly appreciate your involvement leading up to the “big” day & especially the energy you brought throughout the night as our MC & DJ.

The energy and professionalism that you brought to our wedding reception was outstanding. Even though you were very detailed in your comments to us in the pre-planning for the reception, you were still able to surprise and delight ourselves and particularily our guests with your original ideas. Our wedding reception was unlike any we have ever attended and you were certainly the engine driving it.

We knew we were in good hands but honestly we never imagined how great everything was going to turn out. Too bad the night had to end 🙁 Thanks again for being apart of our wedding day & for making it so unique & fun.
We wish you the best!

Luke & Katie Mayer

Jeff,

July 19, 2008 was one of the most amazing and memorable days of your lives and you truly had a big part in that. We have wonderful memories of our wedding and everything was as we hoped it would be. Our number one wish was that we had an amazing party and everyone left saying it was the best wedding they’d been to; we’ve heard that many times!!

We were skeptical of the games to begin with, but they were a complete hit! People loved Survivor and it was absolutely hilarious. We personally loved the Shoe Game with our parents (both married 25+ years). They got nearly all the questions wrong, while Luke and I were stars. You were right on the money with all your suggestions.

You kept the dance floor packed all night and stayed well later than we ever expected. The night went by so quickly, but we absolutely loved every minute of it.

Thank you for making our wedding feel like the most important of them all. We have the best memories that will last a lifetime.

Thank you Dj Haymaker, for making our day just like we pictured.

We couldn’t of asked for better. You are an amazing person, easy to work with, and with such brilliant ideas and sense of humour.The games you played really brought the family and friends together, everytime time we looked at someone they were always smiling and laughing.

The musical chair game was hilarious, the masks and wigs adding the perfect touch. Overall, he was a 10/10 BY FAR, it wouldn’t of been the same without him. We can’t wait for him to play a huge part in one of special days again.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Thank-you so much for making our wedding so special. I don’t think anyone,including ourselves will ever forget the incredible night they had.

From the moment we booked you, right up to the wedding you were always there to offer suggestions and input whenever we needed some ideas. The wedding itself was a blast. Everyone we spoke to said it was by far the best wedding they have attended. There was never a dull moment. The fun and laughs lasted through to the very last dance. The Survivor game and shoe game were a big hit with everyone.

As we look back at our pictures, we see nothing but people laughing and having fun.
Thank-you so much for making our wedding a day we will never forget.

Chad & Reid Leier

Dear Jeff,

Wow. We (Reid and Chad) are finding it hard to put into words just how much we appreciate all that you did for us. From the day we met you (don’t worry, I’ll share that story near the end of this “thank-you”) – to the planning process – to the ceremony – to the reception, you truly helped create a very special and memorable day that we will never forget. Throughout the past year, we found it hard at times to plan a wedding that was going to occur 700km from our home (Calgary, AB). But as always, you came to the rescue and we enjoyed working with you to plan a special day full of events and activities that went off without a hitch (well, I guess there was one hitch – after all, Reid and I were hitched – I know, that joke was totally lame). Your ideas and your vision truly helped to create many wonderful memories that we will never forget (and neither will our guests).

Oh yeah, lets talk about our guests. First of all, you were a huge hit with every person that attending our wedding. From the small children to our older (and wiser) relatives, we have heard nothing but great feedback about your services. Your games (Survivor and the Shoe Game) were potentially the hit of the millenium with all of our guests (especially the Dinos Women’s Volleyball Team from the University of Calgary). At the same time, the sincerity in your voice and your wonderful words of encouragement and support throughout the evening were truly appreciated.

Dear Prospective Clients,

I feel it is important to tell you a little bit about the way that Reid and I first met Jeff. Please keep in mind that neither Reid nor myself is from Kelowna, so on one of our few free weekends, we decided to head to Kelowna and explore potential wedding venues. We visited several sites throughout the weekend and walked into the Manteo Resort at ~2:00pm one Saturday afternoon. We peeked into the ballroom and accidentally ran into a well-mannered gentleman who looked like he knew his way around the place. I mentioned that Reid and myself were looking for a venue to book and the man generously offered to answer any questions that we had and even took us on a mini tour of the hotel and its grounds. We talked and shared ideas and he also gave us the names and phone numbers of decorators, caterers and party rental companies that he could highly recommend. We must have spent well over an hour with him before it even occurred to me that I never caught this gentleman’s name. I was shocked when he said that his name was Jeff Hay and that he was setting up to MC and DJ for a wedding reception later that day. Reid and I couldn’t believe that Jeff had just taken an hour and a half out of his set-up time just to show us around and answer all of the questions that we had. We booked Jeff for our big day immediately and have since confirmed that Jeff is truly the best DJ / wedding planner that we have ever seen.

Jeff, thank you for participating in our wedding. We could not have done it without you and we will forever remember the most special day of our lives – a day that you helped to create. If any of your clients (or prospective clients) would like to speak to us about our experience, please do not hesitate to pass along our phone number.

Thanks again.

To the best DJ in world,

We just wanted to thank you so much for everything you did for us. Everyone had an awesome time and loved how much you were involved. You made all the planning so effortless and fun from the moment we met you. We loved all your innovated ideas and how well they turned out. You were a lot of fun and we would recommend you to everyone that needs a DJ. You are much more than a DJ, you are AWESOME!

If we had a dollar for every time we heard “that was the best wedding ever” or ” how did you ever find such an amazing DJ, he made the night” or our personal favourite “Is he a relative of yours; because he sure seems to know you guys pretty well” WE WOULD BE RICH!

Many thanks and we couldn’t imagine our wedding without you being a part of it. You made the day!

Thanks and much appreciation,

Erika and Thomas Monies

Words can’t express what you did for our wedding!
Although the venues for our ceremony and reception were both beautiful, the wedding would not have been nearly as successful had you not been there to DJ it for us! I have had numerous people tell me it was the funniest wedding they have ever been to! My cousin from the island vows to get married here if you’re still DJ-ing when it comes time for her wedding!! People from age ranges 7 to 86 commented on what an awesome DJ you were!

You were SO accomodating with traditions that we were not comfortable with and through your experience you were able to give us some really good, original ideas that were a big part of our wedding being a hit!! I honestly have to say that I had a wedding that I never dreamed could be that good and it was mostly part to you taking care of the DJ-ing (playing EVERY single song we requested) and MC-ing it for us as well…..what a load off!! It sure beat the semi-funny “uncle Fred” doing it for us!!!

The games that were played, Survivor and the shoe game, were HUGE hits!! And not uncomfortable ones that people dread playing either!!

If there’s anybody out there that isn’t sure they want to budget the money for a DJ and wants to do it themselves……..YOU”RE SO WRONG!!!! It is THE BEST investment you will make for your wedding! I can GUARANTEE you, you won’t be sorry for hiring Jeff to do your wedding. He will keep your whole audience entertained through the whole wedding!! There wasn’t a single song played that there weren’t people up dancing to, all night!

Thanks so much Jeff, for making our wedding into the great success that it was! We have no problem referring you to ANYONE!

My wife and I had seen Jeff at two weddings before our own and we couldn’t wait to have him be our entertainment on our big day.

When we started planning our wedding a year and a half ago, Jeff was the first reservation that we made and were sure about. We had seen many weddings before and we had no doubt that we were getting the best in the business.

Jeff wore many different hats at our wedding (literally!!), he was our MC, DJ, comedian and our game show host. It came as no surprise when all of our guests couldn’t stop raving about how much fun they had, especially the ones from out of town who had never seen Jeff’s work before. Jeff’s knowledge of weddings and his willingness to perfect the details on our day was priceless. We cannot thank him enough!!!
