Michael Zimmermann at the DJ booth, DJ for Bielefeld

DJ Bielefeld · Teutoburger Wald and Ravensberger Land

From the Spinnerei to the Obersee: music that fits your party.

Whether it's the old town, Schildesche or Sennestadt, Herford or Gütersloh: I'm Michael Zimmermann, and I build my evening around the people in the room. Anyone celebrating in a city that grew as a linen town and whose spinning mills are now banquet halls usually doesn't want a ready-made playlist, and what plays instead, we discuss beforehand by phone or video call.

What's on in Bielefeld?

Three pages for three kinds of party: choose the card that fits your date in Bielefeld or Ostwestfalen.

Wedding

Wedding DJ Bielefeld

The brick hall of the old Spinnerei, the Lokhalle or the garden hall in Bethel: the music accompanies your day from the sparkling-wine reception to the last dance.

Company party

Corporate Event DJ Bielefeld

Anniversary, summer party or Christmas evening: good music turns a workforce into a celebrating crowd.

Birthday

Birthday DJ Bielefeld

From a 30th in an old factory building to a 70th with the family: the music follows your guests and your taste.

Around Bielefeld

A linen town on the Teutoburger Wald, today the centre of Ostwestfalen-Lippe.

Bielefeld has around 331,000 inhabitants in ten districts and is the largest city in Ostwestfalen-Lippe. From the 17th century the town grew as a linen town, and around 1870 the Ravensberger Spinnerei was the largest flax spinning mill in Europe. The Sparrenburg stands on the Sparrenberg, the Von Bodelschwingh Foundations have worked in Bethel since 1867, and the university has existed since 1969.

Whether your party takes place in a city district, in a former factory or in one of the neighbouring towns makes no difference to my planning. Herford, Gütersloh, Halle and Bad Salzuflen are also part of my service area.

About me

Behind the booth when the party is on.

How a track carries a room or empties it, I learned in the club, and that has grown into over 1450 events, including more than 650 weddings, plus company evenings and birthdays from the living room to the Lokhalle.

How guests see it is shown by 60 Google reviews with an average of 5.0 stars. At the start of every plan, for me, come the guests, their age and the room; the music follows only after that.

As a member of the DJ Allianz e.V., I give workshops on transitions and on how to read a dance floor. In a region where rock, pop and Schlager are all requested on the same evening, I need that constantly.

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.

What does the job cover when I book a DJ in Bielefeld?

Music, sound system and, if you like, announcements are my job, whether the party is in Schildesche, Brackwede or the old town. You decide the schedule of the evening, and I turn it into music.

Where in Ostwestfalen do I travel to?

To all ten districts of Bielefeld and to places like Herford, Gütersloh, Halle or Bad Salzuflen. Just tell me where your party is.

When is the right time to get in touch?

As soon as you have a date. Popular Saturdays go first, and within a day you will know from me whether your date is still free.

Can the music also play at an outdoor party?

Yes, for a party in the garden or at the edge of a forest, I use battery-powered equipment if there is no power socket nearby. Whether you may use the site is something you clarify with the owner.

What happens if a device fails?

A second setup including a spare laptop is part of my luggage, even for a party in Herford or Oerlinghausen. If something fails, the music keeps playing.

How do I get a quote?

Fill in the form or call, wherever you are celebrating. I reply within 24 hours, we talk in a no-obligation video call, and after that you receive a personal offer.

Is your date already set?

Then enquire right away, before another couple or team books the same Saturday.

Even more options

DJ+ – live musicians right in the middle of my mix.

If you want more than a DJ set, you can add live musicians from my network. They play between the tracks and fit into the schedule, whether the party is in a brick hall or a beer garden. We decide together which line-up suits.
