Our Story & Mission

Discover the passion and expertise behind Diamond Deck Entertainment and our commitment to exceptional casino experiences

Our Journey

The Diamond Deck Story

Diamond Deck Entertainment began in 2008 when founder Jonathan Hayes, a former hospitality professional with a passion for gaming entertainment, recognized an unmet need in the Canadian event industry: sophisticated, professionally managed casino entertainment that could transform ordinary events into extraordinary experiences.

What started as a small venture with just two tables and a vision has grown into one of Canada's premier casino entertainment providers, with a reputation for excellence, attention to detail, and unparalleled service. Our journey has been driven by a commitment to authenticity, quality, and creating meaningful connections through shared entertainment experiences.

Today, our team of over 40 dedicated professionals serves hundreds of events annually across Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia, ranging from intimate milestone celebrations to large-scale corporate galas and fundraisers. We remain committed to our founding vision: creating memorable casino experiences that bring people together in a spirit of fun and excitement.
