FANTASTIC!!! HayDJ made my wedding so so special, they got everything set up perfectly. We had no mic issues or any weird song transitions, everything felt perfect and catered to m...

HAY DJ was the perfect choice to DJ our reception. We found Heather through Inclusive Kentucky Weddings, an excellent resource she helped found. She offered guidance on ceremony so...
ng selection, spotlight dance suggestions, and did an excellent job planning and preparing the cocktail, dinner, and dance playlists. Throughout the night, she read the energy of the crowd, and made sure there wasn’t a single moment where people weren’t on their feet. I’ve had numerous family and guests say our wedding was the most fun they’ve had in years, and HAY DJ was a huge part of that.
I absolutely LOVED working with Heather Yenawine of Hay DJ and her partner, Yancey Entertainment for our ceremony. I cannot recommend them both enough! The music from cocktail/dinn...
er playlist to the dancefloor exceeded anything I could have imagined for our big day. She truly took into account our music taste and made such a personal reflection. She helped give advice for our dances and made incredible transitions. She made us playlists off our described taste for all areas for us to give feedback on, prior to the big day. We had so many people at the wedding ask if we could share the playlists, amazed by how good the music was. For reference my partner and I love MMJ, Tyler Childers, The Replacements, The Cure to 90s- she played them throughout as well as with incredible covers to fit the wedding theme. She also helped make a “Slipping Through My Fingers” to “Mamma Mia” transition for a dance for me to do with my mom which was so important for me. She also gets the classic throwbacks you want towards the end of the night for the dance floor. And beyond that- guided and MC-ed the night so well in directing where we needed it to go.
We're so happy that we chose Heather and Hay DJ for our wedding. During the planning phase she communicated very well and we could tell that she really cared about the music and cr...
eating a cohesive soundtrack for our big day. On the day of the wedding she and her partner were such a huge help. They went above and beyond, helping cue the wedding party to walk in to the ceremony space, showing us how to cut the cake, and so much more. I couldn't recommend Heather and Hay DJ enough. She's worth every penny and we're so grateful that we got to work with her.
Hay DJ was our MC/DJ for our wedding. They were so friendly and professional and our day went off without a hitch. Would recommend!
The music at our ceremony + reception was very important to us and probably the thing we were the pickiest about.
Heather and her team were masterful in their planning and executi...
on of the event. Our guests had a great time and couldn't say enough positive things about the music selection.
Heather talked to us early to learn about our own music preferences and what we had in mind and then used her expertise to curate entire playlists for the prelude, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dance floor. The dance floor stayed full and fun.
Absolutely amazing experience from the very beginning. Heather not only was a great DJ during the reception, but she was a huge help selecting the ceremony and special dances music...
. Her playlists are incredible. Heather knows music and was able to incorporate our personal style into everything.
Heather was a fantastic DJ!! She was an awesome MC and made the entire flow of our wedding so smooth. She has great taste in music and kept our dance floor poppin ALL night. She pl...
ays music that attracts all ages and lovers of all genres to the floor, which is exactly what we wanted in a DJ. Shes also just an friendly an awesome person to work with in general! Highly recommend!
What can we even begin to say about Heather?! For starters, she’s an amazing human. Tackle on her incredible talent and how could you not hire her? She met with us multiple times t...
o ensure we were all on the same page. We could say, ‘we like this band’ and in an instant, she’s naming a dozen of our favorite songs from various artists. She is everything you want in a DJ. She understands music, she reads her audience effortlessly, and she will just get you. She made our day perfect for us. Nailed our musical tastes, kept the party alive, ended the night perfectly. I’d recommend Hay DJ to anyone looking for a party customized specifically for them. 10/10.
I had previously worked with Heather behind the scenes on weddings, so I knew I had to book her for our big day. Heather knows all the ins and outs to help make your day run smooth...
ly and helps put on the best dance party! All I wanted for my reception was a giant dance party, we weren't sure it could happen with Covid, but thanks to a giant dance floor (masks) and the best timed music, we had the most epic dance party. Also, my father referenced a specific movie/song in his speech and Heather managed to fade into that song at the end of his speech. Her attention to detail is unparalleled and she is super supportive throughout the entire planning process. Heather is the absolute best in the business and we highly recommend her!
Special shoutout to Randy who managed the wedding party entrance with ease even though it was like herding cats and the countless other things he was doing in the background to help everything move along!
Don't hesitate. Just book. Heather and Randy were the MVP's of the whole day. The goal for our day was carefree + ease...this team pulled it off without a hitch. They were nearly a...
lways around ready to answer questions, either from me or my various vendors (side note: they've worked with a TON of vendors in town, so they have a relationship with/are familiar with nearly everyone...meaning, no unfamiliar territory). Finally, in regards to the planning process, Heather was invaluable in offering her expertise - do this, don't do that, etc. I cannot say enough good things...because of this team, we were able to enjoy our own wedding like a guest, which is the ultimate goal, right?
Heather was great to work with. She had plenty of suggestions for music. When our ceremony ran early, she jumped right in and adjusted the timeline for the reception and kept eve...

I cannot recommend them enough!!
Hay DJ did a phenomenal job at our wedding! Our main priority was to keep people happy and dancing all night and that's exactly what we got, despite a very hot outdoor August wedd...

Heather took the time to meet with us and get to know us before the wedding. She was also instrumental in planning the schedule for the whole night, making sure things flowed well and the music was right for each phase (ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, dancing).
We made what must have sounded like an impossible request to play a mix of country and hip hop, and keep people on the dance floor. Somehow, Heather struck the perfect balance and everyone had the best time. The price for what we got was a total bargain.
Heather was happy to play a few songs we specially requested, but in general we were glad we just trusted her on the playlist- she is a pro and has great taste!
If Heather is somehow available on your wedding day, I can't recommend her enough!
Heather is great to work with... She was very receptive to our music tastes, prompt to answering questions/emails, and come the day of, kept the whole reception organized and on ti...

We knew we wanted Heather with HAY DJ after we attended a friends wedding that she played at. Working with her only reaffirmed our decision each step of the way. She is professiona...
l, quick to reply email/phone calls, detail oriented, experienced, and throws one heck of a party. She helped us plan out the timeline for our entire evening and helped to make sure the entire evening ran smoothly. The dance floor was packed the entire time and the floor was shaking people were dancing so hard. Countless people said how awesome our DJ was and we we couldn't agree more. THANK YOU HEATHER FOR BEING THE BEST!!!!
Heather and Randy are the best. Really. My wedding was just last week and I am still getting compliments that we had the best and most tasteful music my guests had ever experienced...
at a wedding.
Heather took the time to understand what type of music we like, how we wanted our flow to go and how to incorporate all our "wants" into the program of the evening.
She didn't take the easy road and do the normal wedding songs- it was all custom and perfectly us.
Heather is amazing!! From the very first time I met with her, I knew she was it. She was laid back, and totally zoned in on our music taste. Not only did she zone in on our music, ...
she also pointed me in the right direction on a venue! Something I will never be able to thank her for. She gave me the best advice, and made planning the playlist a piece of cake. Not only did I fall in love with Heather, I loved her partner-Randy- as well. They were 100% on it, kept right to the timeline and never made any of those "cheesy" DJ announcements. Basically, book this girl and don't look back. Chatting with her was like hanging out with a friend, and I always looked forward to meeting with her. She oozes positivity and fun, and keeps the night going with jam after jam. She was one the first few decisions we made for the wedding, and we couldn't have picked a better DJ.
Heather was a joy to work with throughout the process. She got what we were going for right away, but also asked wonderful follow-up questions that really helped us shape our day -...
including ceremony, cocktail hour and, of course, dance floor music. Day of was a breeze with her guidance and experience - and awesome jams! The dance floor was packed the whole night with guests young & old.
Everyone should hire Heather from Hay DJ!! Heather was our Master of Ceremonies and she helped to keep everything moving smoothly throughout the night. Her experience really help...
ed us to have a stress free wedding. And her music choices were amazing!! Our guests are still raving about how fun the dance party was at the end of the night.
Heather Yenawine from Hay DJ really knows how to bring it. She was very helpful in giving us suggestions and working with us for each part of the night. There was not a song she pl...
ayed that I didn't like, and she and her assistants for the evening even commented on how fun and unique our song choices were. She really lit up the dance floor and all of our guests, family, and my husband and I couldn't have been more impressed and had a better time dancing. She also helped smoothly move along each section of the night with grace. Great value, very professional, I recommend her highly!
Our DJ choice was really important to us because we are big dancers and so are all our friends! Heather pulled out all the stops on creating one hell of a party for us! People were...
on the dance floor all night, us included, and it couldn't have been more fun! My only small comment is that she wasn't super willing to take suggestions or requests from our guests. I know you can't always make everyone's requests happen, but many of them were met with downright no's, so just be aware of that! She'll make your night incredible in her way!
HAY made our day stress free and wonderful. From helping us pick our ceremony songs to being the Master of Ceremonies for the reception to playing music that everyone enjoyed, we d...
idn't have to worry about a single detail day of as HAY managed the schedule, played awesome music, got everyone on the dance floor and ended the night with people having a blast. She is amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a DJ! This girl knows her music and will make sure your party is hoppin!
Heather with HAY DJ is one of the best. It was really important to my husband and I that we chose a professional DJ that would cater to our particular music tastes and that the mu...
sic at our wedding reception would reflect our personalities. I have been to many weddings where the DJ is so corny and plays terrible wedding songs that make me cringe. HAY DJ listened to our likes and dislikes and our dinner and cocktail hour music was perfect. A true reflection of our music tastes. When it came time for the dance party, Heather with HAY DJ nailed it again. She knows how to feel out the crowd and get everyone out of their seats and on to the dance floor. She is so professional and a pleasure to work with.
I cannot say enough awesome things about Heather and my HAY DJ experience. I heard so many wonderful recommendations about her as I started the planning process and the second I ta...
lked to her, I was sold!
My husband is VERY into music and VERY opinionated and VERY picky. So I was nervous about the DJ thing. At first he wanted someone that would just play a playlist that he selected...and since his music preferences are pretty unique, I reminded him that those type of DJs probably wouldn't fit his style, or have the music that he wanted.
I just had a feeling that Heather was the perfect fit, so we met with her in person. She went above and beyond...giving us some mix CDs to give us an idea of the set-list she had in mind, given our music preferences. And the hubs is STILL listening to those CDs today. He recognized that she was able to incorporate his taste in music to her unique style and her knowledge of what gets the party going and keeps it going!
Heather was so professional and warm during the months leading up to the wedding, amy time I had questions for her. And she executed flawlessly! The ceremony and reception music were incredible and I'm still getting compliments from guests. She commanded the crowd (in a great way), and kept the party going strong for HOURS. Not to mention that people from 13 to 75 were on the dance floor from beginning to end. That's not an easy feat!
Heather fills a niche in the Louisville music and DJ scene that no one else comes close to. She absolutely MADE my wedding day!
Heather took our wedding to a whole other level! I don't think there was one spot left on the dance floor. Amazing picks for all crowds. Seeing our parents busting a move was by...
far the highlight of the evening. Heather is a champ, especially since it was raining and she left completely soaked! Still leaving with a smile and complementing me on my wobble skills :) Thank you HAY DJ - you definitely are on my list!
I was really disappointed in Hay DJ. After an initial (fantastic) meeting, everything went downhill. Our DJ turned into a diva, complaining about our Play/Do Not Play list, and eve...
n went so far as to tell me she didn't like one of the choices for a special dance song and asked if she could pick another! Hay DJ came highly recommended, but I wasn't impressed. The value was good for what we paid, but very difficult to work with.
Heather was awesome! She is such a great dj, totally understands moving from more older crowd friendly music into younger crowd music as the night progresses. She was really easy t...
o work with beforehand, replying to emails and texts quickly. I've had several people comment on how good she was since the wedding. You may be able to find less expensive djs, but not the same quality.
Heather and her assistant were amazing! My husband and I have eclectic music tastes and tend to hate all music played at weddings. HAY DJ was able to cater to our underground taste...
s while keeping the dance floor going all night long!
Thanks Heather for awesome music!
Fabulous, wonderful! Couldn't have asked for anything better from Heather and Randy! They were classy, non cheesy and really set the tone of all my guests to have a fabulous time!
I loved Heather & Randy. They are laid back and fun and really good at what they do. The price was good too. I didn't really have many requests for the music and trusted Heath...
er to choose what was needed to get the crowd dancing. She did an awesome job at it. The dance floor was packed all night. The music is what I would have played if it were my job to choose it.
