Wedding
Wedding DJ Bergisch GladbachA palace park above the Rhine valley, a manufacturer's villa or an inn at the forest edge: the music carries your day from the sparkling wine reception to the very last song.
DJ Bergisch Gladbach · Paper city at the gates of Cologne
Between the Strunde, the Königsforst and the Cologne city limits: music for celebrations in a city with many faces.
Whether up on the hillside in Bensberg, at the edge of the forest in Refrath or in a hall in the center: I am Michael Zimmermann, and I match the music to the people celebrating with you. People who live here often commute to Cologne and return to the Bergisches Land in the evening, and how such different guests become one dance floor is something we talk through beforehand, without rushing.

Around Bergisch Gladbach
Paper city, palace hillside and neighbor of Cologne.
Since 1977, the city has had more than 100,000 inhabitants, and the border with Cologne runs directly to the west. Papermaking shaped the place: the Zanders family built factories, villas and even an entire garden settlement here in the Gronauer Wald. Up in Bensberg, the Baroque palace recalls Elector Jan Wellem, whose axis points to Cologne Cathedral.
Whether your celebration takes place in Refrath, in Paffrath or up on the heights of Bensberg, my approach is the same. I also DJ in Rösrath, Overath, Odenthal and Kürten.

About me
Behind the booth, when the party is on.
I came to DJing in a nightclub, and there it became clear to me that what matters is the people in front of the booth, not the playlist. That has grown into over 1,450 events, including more than 650 weddings, as well as company evenings and birthdays of all sizes.
That guests go home happy is shown by 60 Google reviews averaging 5.0 stars. Before any planning, I want to know who is coming: how many guests, which age groups and how well they know each other.
As an instructor at DJ Allianz e.V., I give fellow DJs workshops on transitions and on reading the dance floor. At parties where friends from Cologne, neighbors and relatives from the Bergisches Land come together, that is exactly what helps me.

Services
Everything included.
Sound and lighting for rooms of up to about 150 guests, wireless microphones for speeches and backup equipment come to every party. On request I add uplights, a photo booth, an audio guest book or live music to the DJ set. We discuss the schedule and music calmly beforehand, so that nothing is left open on the day itself.

+49 176 700 580 27What is included in an evening with you in Bergisch Gladbach?
Music, sound system, lighting and microphones come from me, and so does the hosting of program items if you want it. You decide how the evening is structured, and I take care of making it happen.
Does your service area extend beyond the city?
Yes, it covers all districts as well as Rösrath, Overath, Odenthal, Kürten, Leverkusen and Cologne. Just tell me your location.
How early should we get in touch?
As soon as the date is set. Summer Saturdays in particular go quickly, and within 24 hours you will know whether I am available that day.
Many of our guests come from Cologne and travel back in the evening: How do you plan for that?
Tell me the time when the first guests have to leave, and I will place the highlights of the evening before then. Those who stay longer get another round of music afterwards.
What happens if a piece of equipment fails during the party?
I bring a second setup including a backup laptop, whether the party is in Schildgen or in Kürten. If something fails, the music keeps playing.
How do I get a quote?
Fill out the form or call, no matter where you are celebrating. I reply within 24 hours, we talk without obligation by video, and then you receive your personal quote.
Is your date already set?
Then enquire right away, before another couple or team books the same Saturday.

DJ+ – live musicians over my mix.
If you want more than a DJ set, you can add musicians from my network. They play between the tracks, in the orangery just as well as in a festival tent or on a meadow. We decide together, and in good time, which lineup fits.

Entrance · Surprise
DJ + vocals
A singer accompanies the entrance or surprises the birthday guest when nobody expects it.

DJ + percussion
Percussion instruments give the evening a boost as soon as the meal has been cleared and the room should start moving.
04
Standing reception · Festive dinner
DJ + violin
A violin adds elegance to a standing reception or dinner, whether in the hall, in the foyer or outdoors under the trees.
