Your event DJ for the technology and university city of Aachen.
As an event DJ, I accompany your company party in Aachen from the standing reception to the final chord; my name is Michael Zimmermann. After more than 1450 events in over 25 years, I quickly know which music brings developers, administration and sales to one table. I have also provided the music for evenings for Audi and BMW. beats per micha: Michael Zimmermann, event DJ for company parties, bookable in Aachen and the surrounding area.

Company parties in Aachen
Congress centre, hotel ballroom or castle hall: in Aachen the venues for company evenings are very different, so I first ask about programme and room. Six addresses show how different your evening in Aachen can turn out: as a banquet in the congress centre, as a reception in the Parkhotel, as a party in the historic ballroom or as an evening at a castle.
For your event in Aachen, a congress hall on Monheimsallee, a park hotel, a historic ballroom or a palace in Laurensberg come into consideration. How much sound reinforcement is needed follows from room size and number of guests; we talk about that first.
In the foyer I ask where your guests arrive and start talking, in the castle hall which equipment the old walls can take. We put the schedule with speeches, awards and breaks in writing, and I handle setup and teardown on my own.
The congress centre opened on 4 September 1977 and is now run under the name Aachen Event. The operator lists congresses, conferences and company parties; according to Wikipedia the Europa Hall holds up to 1,700 seats. For a hall of this size, we clarify early how the sound system will be set up and whether a technical partner joins in.
According to Wikipedia, the house dating from 1916 lists a ballroom for up to 500 people, 19 conference rooms and corporate events among its occasions. Where reception, speeches and dancing take place at your event, we plan as part of the schedule.
According to Wikipedia, the moated castle inaugurated in 1787 serves conferences, concerts and celebrations. In historic rooms, we clarify in advance what sound system fits and where equipment may stand.
The ballroom of the former Neue Redoute measures about 24 by 11 meters and holds up to 340 people; its use for private events is mentioned. Whether your company evening is possible there is something you clarify with the venue.
The former monastery church measures 570 square meters, and external events such as receptions are mentioned. For an evening in this space, we discuss with the venue what equipment fits and how the room sounds.
The castle is a community and cultural center and, according to the operator's website, offers room bookings. Which rooms come into question for your team is something you clarify with the association; we coordinate the music afterwards.
Rooms, occasions and size details come from Wikipedia and from the websites of the operators named (as of October 2026). Please clarify available dates directly with the respective venue.
Who I am
Welcome, awards, dancing: the schedule of your evening in Aachen determines how I build the music. My career began behind the decks of a nightclub, and by now I have over 1450 private and corporate events behind me. In Aachen, institutes, technology companies, medium-sized businesses and service providers celebrate, and in every round I listen first to the tone of the room.
When speeches take place and when the party starts, we settle in the preliminary conversation. Because I cut the transitions myself, no item on your program ends abruptly. I bring the sound system and wireless microphones; if the venue has its own technicians, I coordinate directly with them.
How it works
Write me a short message, and you will get my reply within 24 hours. Afterwards, we set the briefing, timetable and setup, and plan the transitions.
Request a dateMy services
For your company party in Aachen, I choose music that suits your venue and at the same time gets every generation of your workforce onto the dance floor.
01At company parties with up to about 500 guests, I align the music with your company and still keep the floor full. I see in the room which track works and steer the mix accordingly, instead of working through a list. I have been mediating between company culture and party mood for many years, including for companies like Audi or BMW. Between dinner and party, I leave room so that a long speech does not slow the momentum. I cover up to 150 guests with my standard system, and for larger events I arrange reliable equipment partners.

Your service package
At staff parties, several generations dance together, which is why soul sits next to the charts in my sets. After you book me, I plan the music step by step through to the last track.
The set grows live out of the mood in the room; I stay in the background and use the microphone only for speeches and program items.

First we collect your music requests, I coordinate with the venue and service providers myself, and I consistently leave out unsuitable tracks when you let me know.
Open Format
From seventies soul to the current charts, we define your program together, and I blend the styles into one evening.
Setup takes around 40 minutes and about 2.5 by 1.5 meters of floor space, and afterwards I pack everything up myself again. For that, 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.
Premium
I take a gala evening or a company anniversary as seriously as any other celebration, from the first guest to the farewell.
If you wish, I include live music, a photo station or uplights in the same coordination.
Request a date →The karaoke system comes with a large German and international song catalogue, two wireless microphones and an on-screen display, as a highlight of the DJ evening or as a standalone team-building evening.

Here is what organisers usually ask me before booking, and for anything else you can simply call me.
+49 176 700 580 27I start with tracks that all age groups know and then open up the evening slowly. Who sits at your table and how formal the evening should be, we discuss in the preliminary talk.
I get the schedule from you and fill the breaks with quiet music that I fade out under every speech. After the last programme item I pick up the pace so the ceremony turns into a party.
With my own system I cover groups of up to 150 people. Beyond that I bring in a technical partner, whom I agree with you early on so that your hall is covered evenly.
We determine a fallback room in advance, to which I can quickly move the equipment. My setup takes about 40 minutes, so we plan the weather decision and the move together.
As a rule, four to eight weeks of lead time is enough; for large events or the peak season in Advent, please enquire earlier. I reply by the next day at the latest and keep the date open for you.
Yes, you receive a written quote, and after the event I issue the invoice to your company, payable within 7 days. I'm happy to include order numbers or cost centres on it on request.
Listen & Watch
What sets me apart
If you would like vocals, violin, saxophone or percussion, I bring in musicians from my network. When in the evening a performance works best, we decide together in advance.
01
Main-time peak · gala champagne reception
At the reception in the foyer or on the terrace, a saxophone feels relaxed and elegant, especially when the evening turns into night.
02
Summer party peak · energy on the dance floor
In a wide hall, percussion gives the mix punch without having to set up an entire band with equipment.
03
Live-band feeling · party time & special moments
If you want to combine conference seriousness and party mood, a voice sings well-known hits live and gets the workforce singing along.
04
Galas & awards · music from the first note
A gala calls for the sound of a violin, which opens the reception with dignity and immediately gives guests the feeling of a special evening.
05
An evening without a break.
If you want live music already at the reception or dinner, I'll arrange a well-rehearsed band of two to four musicians for you. After that I keep playing without a break, and because the planning is in my hands, I remain your single point of contact.

I also stand at the decks for your corporate events in Würselen, Herzogenrath and Eschweiler; you will find further places I work at the bottom of the page.
For your corporate event in Aachen, tell me the occasion, date and approximate number of guests, and then we talk about music, program and room in a video call. We settle the stations of your evening together shortly beforehand. On the day of the event, the equipment is ready after about 40 minutes, and then I check the sound in the empty room. My standard system covers up to 150 guests; for more guests I bring in technology partners.

Transparency
A programme made up exclusively of party-anthem and Schlager hits doesn't suit me. Guests at any company party like a few sing-along classics, but building the whole evening on them isn't my style. I'm also the wrong contact for techno sets with no connection to your guests, for wish lists that run rigidly from top to bottom, or for multi-stage festivals. Colleagues who love exactly that take such jobs.
My craft is live mixing 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 fit your event, I'm not the right person, and that's perfectly fine. If it does fit, we'll discuss the details.
Contact
Write to me, and your party becomes an evening your team will talk about for a long time. For music, equipment and schedule, four to eight weeks are usually enough; for large events and the high season, you should inquire earlier.
