Party DJ Heilbronn · Events since 2004
Your party DJ for celebrations between the Neckar and the vineyards.
I'm Michael Zimmermann, and I mix live at your birthday in Heilbronn, track by track, according to the guests celebrating with you. After more than 25 years and over 1450 parties, I know early on where an evening is heading. Your party belongs to you and your guests, so I keep a low profile behind the decks. beats per micha: Michael Zimmermann, party DJ, bookable in Heilbronn and the surrounding area.

You get exactly one shot. I had 1,450 to practise.
Kept the dance floor going until the very end - a great evening.

Celebrating on the Neckar
An old wine press house, a community hall and a hall by the water each sound different, and I tailor my suggestion to your venue. Five venues are available for your birthday: an old Kelter in Sontheim, a rococo hall with a garden, a hall on the Neckar riverbank, the small hall of a community center and a restaurant on the Bildungscampus.
Heilbronn offers unusually varied spaces for your birthday: a Kelter in the heart of Sontheim, a rococo hall with a garden, a community center in Böckingen or a hall on the Neckar riverbank, where the Federal Garden Show stood only a few years ago. Depending on the space, I choose the sound system and layout anew.
For a gathering in a courtyard, on a lawn or in your own living room, I bring only the essentials, and with a battery it works without a power box too. Setup takes about 40 minutes and needs roughly 2.5 by 1.5 meters of space, and you tell me beforehand where your guests will sit.
The Alte Kelter sits in the historic center of Sontheim and lists family parties, club events and company parties as occasions. The ground-floor hall measures 275 square meters and comes with a kitchen. Depending on whether you invite family or your whole circle of friends, my setup will be larger or smaller.
The Schießhaus lists family parties among its occasions. The rococo hall measures 120 square meters, and behind the house lies a garden with a pavilion. Whether you dance inside and chat outside determines how I distribute the music.
The Alte Reederei sits on the Neckar riverbank on the former BUGA grounds and, according to the city's website, can be rented for parties of up to 140 people. A sound system and microphones are on site. We'll clarify in advance with you and the venue what equipment I add.
The Bürgerhaus has a small hall of 120 square meters and a large hall of 360. The small hall suits a gathering where everyone should still be able to talk to each other. There I keep the volume low and leave room on the floor.
The Campus Garden describes itself as a gastronomic oasis on the Bildungscampus with 215 square meters of indoor space, 110 seats and a permanent stage. Whether private parties are possible there is something you clarify with the venue. For a gathering with tapas at long tables, a lean setup is enough.
The details on rooms, seats and occasions come from the pages of the city of Heilbronn and the operators (as of October 2026). Whether your date is free and how many guests fit, you can only find out from the respective venue.
Who I am
You invite people to Heilbronn, and I take care of the sound. My work behind the decks began in a nightclub, and by now I have more than 1450 parties behind me, private and corporate. For me, a good party doesn't need a rigid schedule, but someone who listens.
I blend classics and current hits in my own edits so your younger and older guests dance together. Tell me your wishes and no-gos beforehand, and the evening stays relaxed, so you can celebrate yourself.
How it works
Send me the date and location of your party, and I'll get back to you the same day or the next. After that come the video call, the setup and the evening itself.
Request a dateAfter your inquiry you'll hear from me within a day. In a short video call you tell me about your birthday, and afterwards your offer is ready.
When you book, you get my mobile number, because WhatsApp is the fastest way. A week before the party we settle requested songs, no-gos and the schedule.
My setup takes about 40 minutes, and I arrive well before your guests so the gear and sound check are ready. Any open questions I sort out with you or the venue, so everything runs quietly in the background later.
On arrival, soft lounge music plays so the guests can settle into conversation. For the birthday guest of honor and special moments I pick the track that fits exactly.
The program gets its sound too: calm music during the meal, the microphone for speeches and announcements, fitting pieces for games, surprises and the cake cutting.
As soon as people start dancing, I take over completely. I read the mood, adapt the set to your guests and keep young and old moving until the last song.
My services
I mix your birthday in Heilbronn completely live, whether you're celebrating with a few friends or the whole family.
01
For your birthday I build a set that belongs only to you and keep evolving it over the evening. Tracks from several decades bring even the guests onto the floor who only wanted to watch at first. A courtyard, a garden or the living room is enough for me, because I carry my compact setup in myself. If a slideshow is running or someone is giving a speech, I take the music down right away.

Your service package
That Abba can follow Billie Eilish at your party is thanks to my eye for guests of every age. Your first message is all it takes, and I plan the evening with you down to the last track.
I stay in the background, adjust the music to the mood as we go, and only pick up the microphone for speeches and program points.
Add-on
LED uplights bathe your room in the color of your choice and can pulse to the rhythm of the music.

This includes lighting, two wireless microphones, a controller from Pioneer or Denon and speakers from RCF or Electro-Voice.
Add-on
From the short greetings your guests leave on the retro phone, I cut an audio file for you afterwards.
Enquire →You hear from me the same or the next day, and I remain your personal contact until the party.
We go through your music requests together beforehand, and I take care of whatever needs to be agreed with the venue.
Open Format
New hits sit next to classics from many decades in my sets, and I go through your requests beforehand instead of ticking off a list at the booth.
The system needs about 2.5 by 1.5 meters, setup takes around 40 minutes, and I clean up myself after the party. About 2.5 m of width and 1.5 m of depth are enough, and under normal conditions (car close to the setup spot, no stairs or elevators) setup takes around 40 minutes.
Whether lighting, photo station, live music or audio guest book: you decide what gets added, and I coordinate everything.
Request a date →Frequently asked questions
Here is what hosts usually ask me before booking, and for anything else you can simply call me.
+49 176 700 580 27First I ask you how your evening should feel, and then I build the set around that, without imposing a fixed schedule. If things drag on the dance floor, I switch things up on the spot, because your party doesn't follow a list.
I split the evening into phases and get the older guests dancing early with classics before the younger ones take over with current tracks. You'll notice from how the night unfolds that I'm thinking along, and you can step in at any time.
Of course, a wireless microphone is ready, and you or your guests can use it for speeches and greetings. I only make announcements where you want me to.
For a milestone birthday in spring or summer, it is better to get in touch early, while for small gatherings a few weeks are often enough. You will find out on the day you write whether your preferred date is still open with me.
That works well. I'll arrange a musician from my network and coordinate their performance with my mix. Whether saxophone, vocals, violin or percussion suits your guests better, we'll decide in our first phone call.

Nothing but schlager and Ballermann for hours on end? I'm happy to let the odd crowd-pleaser run when your guests ask for it, because they belong at a good birthday party. Building my whole evening on them isn't for me, though. Nor am I a fit for techno sets that ignore the crowd, for request lists worked through rigidly, or for festivals with several stages. I leave that to colleagues who are good at it and enjoy it; I have nothing against them, it's simply not my field.
I play live, for guests with a feel for the moment: the transitions are tight, the song suits the hour, and nothing just runs on autopilot. That is why I would rather tell you in advance what I don't offer than have you annoyed on the night.
If that doesn't suit your party, I'm the wrong DJ, and that's perfectly okay. If it does, just get in touch.
Contact
Tell me how you want to celebrate, and we'll build an evening your guests will remember for a long time. For milestone birthdays it's best to ask early; for small gatherings a short lead time is usually enough.
