Party DJ Pfaffenhofen · Events since 2004
Your party DJ comes to you from Aichach to Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm.
I'm Michael Zimmermann, party DJ, and for your party in Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm I mix live so that your guests hear the music that suits them. I've been standing at the mixing desk for more than 25 years, I've played private parties since 2004, and more than 1450 events are behind me. Whichever venue your group celebrates in, I adapt my equipment to it anew every time.
“We couldn't have wished for a better DJ.”
– Ben Kampen · Google reviewThe locations. The moments. My music.
You get exactly one shot. I had 1,450 to practise.
Kept the dance floor going until the very end - a great evening.

Parties around Pfaffenhofen
What guests expect at birthdays in inn parlours, beer gardens and halls of the region is familiar to me from many evenings, and that helps you with planning. Eight addresses between Scheyern, Wolnzach and Hohenwart come into question for your party, from the brewery taproom to the banqueting hall.
If you're planning a summer party, a monastery inn in the neighbourhood lists birthdays as an occasion, and outside there is room for between 20 and 200 people. If you expect at least 30 and at most 200 guests, a barn with two rooms and plenty of greenery comes into question, whose operator lists birthdays among its occasions. If your party gets really big, the hall of a country inn in the neighbouring village has room for a maximum of 230 guests, with a stage and dance floor.
If your guest list goes above 150, I extend my system with the equipment of an experienced company from my network. If you are only planning a small get-together on a weekday, it is often enough to get in touch with me four to eight weeks beforehand.
The Klosterwirtschaft in Scheyern includes the Braustüberl, Schyrensaal, Prielhof and beer garden. The Braustüberl holds 45 to 110 people, the beer garden 20 to 200, and birthday is among the house's occasions. In the Braustüberl a slim set-up is enough, in the beer garden I aim the speakers so that the music does not boom as far as the neighbouring tables.
Whoever wants to sit outside has the beer garden, and whoever travels from far away stays overnight in one of the guest rooms. I cover the dance floor in the hall evenly, and in the beer garden quiet music is enough for chatting.
The Eventtenne in the Lebzelterstraße has two event rooms on around 700 square metres and a garden with a covered terrace. For you I start with background music for the meal and turn it up to dance music later.
Birthday is among the occasions of the hotel in the old town, which hosts conferences and events and has a large hall. Where the dance floor goes, we decide together based on the size of the hall, so that the tables at the back also get something of the music.
On the Hauptplatz, the Hotel Gasthof Müllerbräu hosts birthdays as well as communions and confirmations. A white sausage breakfast is possible for up to 75 guests, and those coming from further away stay overnight in the rooms renovated in 2024. In the Gaststube I keep the music at conversation volume.
The Grantlerwirt in Wolnzach includes an inn with 120 seats, a side room with 50 seats and a beer garden. Birthdays and christenings are among the occasions the house caters for. In the side room the volume stays conversation-friendly, and at the bar with the dance floor I turn it up later.
Birthday and anniversary are among the occasions for celebrations at the Alea Eco Hotel, from a barbecue evening with friends to a larger gathering in the hall with room for 200 guests. Terraces and herb garden invite you to sit outside. Whether the music plays inside or on the terrace, we discuss in advance.
At the Metzgerbräu in Hohenwart, a brewery and a butcher's shop belong to the country inn. Family celebrations and birthdays take place in rooms that suit the size of the party, plus there is a Bräukeller and eleven hotel rooms with a lift. I set up the dance floor to suit the room you choose.
I took the guest numbers and room sizes from the operators' websites, as of October 2026. Whether your preferred date is free is, in the end, for the venue to tell you.
Who I am
A birthday in Pfaffenhofen, a short trip from Aichach: that works. You get a DJ who has been mixing since 1998, first in clubs, later at private and corporate celebrations, and since 2004 almost exclusively. Over 1450 events make me fairly relaxed about surprises. If a guest spontaneously wants something completely different from what was planned, I'm happy to take it on. My own edits link songs you've never heard back to back before, for example a classic with current house.
Your party should be lively, without the DJ being the centre of attention. Just tell me beforehand what you love and what must never play at your party. The rest is atmosphere, and it usually builds faster than you think, as soon as the first people are on the dance floor.
How it works
I reply to you within a day, then come a short video call, the booking, and set-up and sound check, and in the end your dance floor stands in the hall of the Moosburger Hof or wherever you celebrate. See the whole process →
Request a dateThe path to an offer begins with your enquiry, which I answer within a day at the latest. In the video call I find out from you how you want to celebrate and get to know you briefly.
To keep things quick, you get my private mobile number after booking, reachable via WhatsApp. A week before the date, we go through the schedule, the no-gos and your song requests together.
I am ready in good time, between one and two hours before the start: setting up the system, testing the sound, discussing any open points with you or the venue. Once the party starts, none of that is visible any more.
The reception is for chatting: subtle lounge music accompanies reunions and greetings. When the birthday guest of honour is being celebrated or a special moment is coming up, I play the right music for it.
During dinner I play music that suits the mood, and the microphone is yours and your guests for speeches and announcements. I put surprises, games and the cake into the spotlight musically.
Once the dance floor is open, I take over completely. The set takes shape live from what I see on the floor, so that children, parents and grandparents all feel comfortable and celebrate until the end.
My services
I shape your birthday in Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm musically from scratch and align the set with your guests in the evening.

Your milestone birthday gets exactly the sound you want from me, with music your guests sing along to. For the one bold surprise moment in the programme I always provide too. For a party in the garden or in the yard, a compact setup is enough for me, which I deliver myself and set up quickly. My selection picks up guests from every age group equally.

Your service package
From your first message I organise all the music for your birthday in Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm. Because several generations often celebrate together at your party in the end, I combine Otis Redding with Dua Lipa, without confronting you with surprises.
The mood in the room decides every next track for me, I stay unobtrusive in the background, and I use the microphone for speeches and programme items, more only at your request.
Add-on
I bathe your party in LED uplights, whose colour I choose as you wish and change over the course of the evening, and I handle the whole set-up.
Enquire →
Add-on
For your celebration I set up a photo station with a digital gallery and props that works on its own, and I also offer instant prints via FOTOFun+.
Enquire →
Recommendation
I recommend Feierblick, where your guests collect their phone photos via QR code, completely without an app; it's booked directly with the provider.
View Feierblick →
For your party I supply a Denon or Pioneer controller with amplification from Electro-Voice or RCF, plus lighting and two wireless microphones.
Add-on
I bring a retro phone to your party, your guests speak messages into it, and in the end you get a finished audio file from it.
Enquire →I'm your fixed contact, get back to you within 24 hours and keep you up to date until the party.
I discuss your music request list with you in the planning chat and also coordinate with the location and other service providers.
Open Format
Schlager, charts, house and electro swing are as much a part of it for me as classics from the 70s and 80s, I take your request list in advance.
I arrive about two hours before your party, set up on my own, do the sound check and later also take care of the tear-down.
A photo station, an audio guest book, LED uplights or live music can be added on request; I discuss every extension with you personally and adjust your programme accordingly.

+49 176 700 580 27As long as your bowling friends are dancing, I don't stick to a fixed finishing minute. If you'd like to extend, we talk it over on the spot in a few sentences. Since set-up and tear-down are part of my offer anyway, you don't have to clear anything away yourself at the end of the night.
At the spot for my decks I only need an ordinary household socket. In some club houses a decibel limit applies, or a limiter throttles my equipment automatically. Clarify such rules with the club itself as soon as possible, so I can set my system accordingly.
Groups of relatives, friends and people from work are common at birthdays, so I'm geared up for exactly that kind of evening. From hits of the 70s to what's in the charts today, everything is possible, and you set the balance with me beforehand. What absolutely has to be played, what must never be played and which direction you generally like, we go through in the initial chat, so both groups get their songs.
In that case, DJ colleagues from my network provide an equal replacement, and for you everything stays on the agreed terms. Many of these colleagues come from workshops that I held myself for the DJ Allianz. In 25 years, a short-notice cancellation has happened to me exactly once.
Right behind the decks, requests like that are welcome with me. A track that does not suit the mood just then goes on my note pad for a fitting later moment. For the hall I bring LED uplights on request, in a colour you choose.

Service area
From Aichach I also plan birthdays in Schrobenhausen, Dachau and Friedberg, and in Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm I come to you. The district town lies in the Hallertau, and I am also there for you in the greater Munich area, and you will find the matching page further down.
This is how we prepare your party: first you write me the date, place and number of guests, then I get back to you the next day, and after a short phone call the basic outline for your music is set. On the evening itself, you can pass your guests' spontaneous requests straight to me. If you celebrate in Scheyern or Hettenshausen, tell me the place right in your message, so I can plan my set-up.

A whole evening of nothing but Schlager and Ballermann, hour after hour? A few big crowd-pleasers in between, when the mood calls for it, belong to a good birthday party for me. Building a whole evening on them alone isn't my thing, though. I'm just as little the right person for non-stop techno sets without any contact with the crowd, for rigid request lists that get worked through from top to bottom, or for festival formats with several stages. There are other DJs who can do exactly that and love it, nothing against them, it's simply not my speciality.
My craft is mixing live for guests who want an evening with a feel for the moment: clean transitions, the right track at the right time, instead of just pressing play. That's why I'd rather tell you beforehand what I don't do than have you disappointed on the night.
If that doesn't suit your party, I'm not the right one, and that's fine. If it does, let's talk.
Contact
Tell me how you want to celebrate, I like listening and will pick the music for your evening with you. So you can plan in peace: for milestone birthdays the enquiries often come six to twelve months ahead, while spontaneous parties are also possible with four to eight weeks' notice.
