Event DJ Leipzig · Events since 2004
Your event DJ for Leipzig and the Leipziger Land.
My name is Michael Zimmermann, and as an event DJ I shape the music of your company party in Leipzig, from the first guest to the final track. Over 25 years and more than 1450 events have shown me what a team spanning several generations wants to hear; what you wish for, we discuss beforehand without time pressure. Corporations such as Audi, BMW, Microsoft and Amazon are among my clients. beats per micha: Michael Zimmermann, event DJ for company parties, available for booking in Leipzig and the surrounding area.

Company parties in Leipzig
Gas storage tank, Gründerzeit ballroom or wine cellar: the venues of a trade-fair city are very different, which is why I first ask about the programme and the room. Six venues, from the Gründerzeit building by the zoo via the former gas storage tank to the converted power station, show the range for your company evening: a gala in the grand hall, a party in the industrial hall or a get-together in the vaults.
What Leipzig offers for company parties ranges from a Gründerzeit building with 15 halls to a former gas storage tank for up to 450 guests. The room decides which equipment I bring, so I first want to know the occasion, the format and the number of guests.
Under a vault I keep the sound lean, in an industrial hall I fill the space. We arrange dinner, speeches and dancing in the preliminary talk, and I take care of setting up and dismantling myself.
The Kongresshalle is a Gründerzeit building from 1900 and lists 15 halls and rooms on its website for groups of ten up to 1,200 participants, including the Großer Saal, Telemann-Saal and Weißer Saal. With so many rooms, I clarify with you in advance where the programme and the dance floor will be.
According to its operator, the Panometer is a former gas storage tank and industrial monument. It suits small groups of around 50 to 70 people as well as events of up to 450 people, and can be hired exclusively. In such a tall circular building, I listen to the room with you beforehand.
By its own account, the building has existed since 1525. The Historische Weinstuben are open to groups of 20 or more and list company parties as an occasion, with a buffet available from 25 people. For vaulted rooms I keep the volume low and plan speeches and dancing separately.
The Felsenkeller from 1890 lists corporate events on its website alongside concerts, parties and balls. The venue includes the large ballroom, Naumanns Tanzlokal as a small club and a beer garden. Because the hall and the club have different routes, we settle the programme and dancing beforehand.
The Westwerk is a former industrial site on the Karl-Heine-Kanal with the Eisengiesserei, Markthalle and Remise; the Eisengiesserei is marked as an event location. You can find out about rooms and areas from the venue, and for industrial halls I plan the sound reinforcement accordingly.
The Kunstkraftwerk is a former power station converted into a centre for digital and multimedia art; rooms can be enquired about via the venue's event page. If you run picture and sound at the same time, I coordinate my part with the house technology.
I took the rooms, occasions and capacity details from operator websites and official sources, as of October 2026. Please check directly with the respective venue which dates are free.
Who I am
How your evening in Leipzig unfolds depends on your planning: first the welcome, then the speeches, finally the dancing. I learned my craft in a nightclub, and company and private celebrations followed later. In the preliminary talk, by phone or video call, we agree with you when there will be speaking and when celebrating.
My edits let the sections of your event flow into one another so that your guests notice no break. On the day of the event I bring equipment and wireless microphones, set everything up and check the sound.
How it works
A short message is enough, and you will get my reply within 24 hours. After that we clarify the schedule and set-up, so that programme items and transitions fit.
Request a dateMy services
For your company party in Leipzig I put together music that suits your company and still brings every generation of your workforce onto the dance floor.
01For company parties of up to around 500 guests, I tailor the music to your company, and in the end the dance floor should still be full. Which track works with which generation, I hear in the room and adjust the mix continuously instead of working through a list. I have mastered the balancing act between company culture and party mood for years, including for corporations. For the transition from dinner to party I keep time free, so that a long speech does not slow down your evening. Up to 150 guests I provide the complete equipment myself; for larger events I bring in reliable technical partners.

Your service package
At company parties several generations often dance together, which is why soul sits next to current charts in my sets. From the moment you book, I plan all the music step by step through to the final track.
I steer my set live by the mood in the room, stay unobtrusively in the background and only take the microphone for speeches and program items.

First comes your music wish list, then I take over the coordination with the venue and service providers, so you do not have to worry about it. Tracks and themes that do not suit your occasion, I note in our conversation and consistently leave out of the program.
Open Format
From the soul of the seventies to today's charts, we agree your music programme beforehand, and I combine the genres into one whole.
I need about 40 minutes for set-up, but I am ready in good time before the doors open, set up the system calmly and clear everything away myself after the last track. About 2.5 m of width and 1.5 m of depth are enough for that, and under normal conditions (car close to the set-up point, no stairs or lifts) set-up takes around 40 minutes.
Premium
Whether gala or anniversary: I work there as carefully as at any other company party, from the moment the first guests arrive until the farewell.
If you'd like to add live music, a photo station or uplights, I take care of it personally, as part of the same planning.

Here is what organisers usually ask me before booking, and for anything else you can simply call me.
+49 176 700 580 27I put together a set of classics and current tracks and watch which songs get a reaction from your colleagues. I keep adjusting the programme as the night goes on. We collect any special requests from your staff beforehand in our conversation.
I will ask you for a list with speaker, duration and timing of each contribution, so that I have the right music ready. I can then reach your contact person directly. Last-minute changes I will work in during the evening.
No, I bring the sound system, wireless microphones and lighting. For very large halls I bring in technical partners, and I will tell you early on. Send me photos and dimensions of the hall and I will plan accordingly.
Four to eight weeks before the event is realistic; if it falls in peak season, feel free to allow a bit more leeway. I usually get back to you on the same day as your enquiry. After that we sort out the schedule and equipment, so you do not have to chase anything.
Yes, I shape a short set too, so that your guests feel welcome and conversation stays possible. We agree the length and start time with you. For longer evenings I build the music up in stages.
You will receive a written quote from me and the invoice after the event. We discuss the payment terms with you beforehand. I answer queries from your accounting department directly.
Listen & Watch
What sets me apart
For vocals, violin, saxophone or percussion at your company party, I am happy to connect you with contacts from my network. We discuss together in advance when in the evening the performance has the most impact.
01
Main-time peak · gala champagne reception
A saxophone sounds relaxed and stylish at the foyer reception, especially as the evening slowly turns into night.
02
Summer party peak · energy on the dance floor
In a big hall with a wide dance floor, percussion brings punch and groove into the mix, without a whole band and its equipment having to show up.
03
Live-band feeling · party time & special moments
A voice that sings hits live gets your staff to the microphone and onto the floor after dinner faster than any playlist.
04
Galas & awards · music from the first note
At the gala in the historic hall, a violin lends the evening dignity, because its sound creates a festive mood the moment guests are welcomed.
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 play for your corporate events in Markkleeberg, Schkeuditz and Delitzsch, and the list further down names more places.
This is how we work together on your corporate event in Leipzig: you first describe the occasion, date and number of attendees, then in a video call we settle music, programme and room. Shortly before the date we go through the schedule. On the day I am ready before doors open and listen to the empty hall. If your group is small, my own system is enough; for very many guests I bring in technical partners.

An evening made up only of Ballermann and schlager hits is not my programme. A few sing-along classics go down well at any company party, but for me they are an extra, nothing more. Nor do I offer techno that leaves the guests out, request lists that are worked through rigidly, or festival formats with several stages. If that's what you're looking for, you're better off with colleagues who specialise in it.
I mix live for guests who expect an evening with a feel for the moment: clean transitions, the right track at the right time, more than pressing play. That is why I tell you in advance what I don't do, so that you aren't disappointed on the night.
If that doesn't suit your event, I'm not the right DJ, and that's perfectly fine. If it does, we'll sort out everything else together.
