Wedding
DJ Hochzeit DresdenIn an Elbe palace, in a ballroom or at a winery: the music accompanies your day from the sparkling wine reception to the last dance.
DJ Dresden · Florence on the Elbe and Elbe Valley
From the Neustadt to the Weißer Hirsch and out into the Elbe Valley: music that fits your celebration.
Dresden rebuilt itself piece by piece after the destruction, and anyone who celebrates here feels the pride in that. I am Michael Zimmermann, and when you invite me, my music follows the people in the room. How your evening should unfold, we discuss beforehand in peace, by phone or video call.

Around Dresden
Florence on the Elbe, rebuilt.
The Frauenkirche was rebuilt after its destruction in 1945 and consecrated on 30 October 2005, and the Semperoper reopened in 1985. I take that care as my yardstick: clean transitions and a sound that does not boom even in historic halls.
Your celebration can take place at one of the Elbe palaces, in the Neustadt or at a winery near Radebeul. Pirna, Freital, Meißen and Radeberg are equally part of my service area.

About me
At home at the mixing desk, there for your celebration.
I started more than 25 years ago in a nightclub, and there I learned that an evening only works when the music suits the guests in the room. Since then I have played over 1,450 events, including more than 650 weddings, as well as company parties and birthdays of every size.
If you want an impression beforehand, you will find 60 reviews on Google with an average of 5.0 stars. Which tracks play, I decide by the age and number of guests and by the occasion.
I also give workshops at the DJ Allianz e.V. on clean transitions and on reading the dance floor. In a city that sustains an opera, orchestras and universities, this precision works in my favour.

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.
Frequently asked questions
Questions before booking.
Short answers for everyone who wants to celebrate in Dresden or the Elbe Valley. More can be found on the pages for weddings, company parties and birthdays.
+49 176 700 580 27What do I get when I book a DJ for Dresden?
I bring the music, the sound system and, if you wish, the announcements, whether you celebrate in the Neustadt, in Blasewitz or in Loschwitz. You decide how the evening is structured, and I make it happen.
Which places around Dresden are part of your service area?
All Dresden districts and the Elbe Valley with Radebeul, Coswig, Meißen, Pirna, Freital and Radeberg. Just tell me where your celebration takes place.
When should we get in touch?
The sooner the better, ideally as soon as the date is set, because popular Saturdays go first. Within 24 hours you will hear from me whether the day is still free.
How do young and old get onto the dance floor together?
When several generations sit at the same table, I combine classics, chart hits and house and see what the floor accepts. We clear up requests and no-gos beforehand in a conversation.
What happens if a piece of equipment fails at our celebration?
A second setup with a spare laptop is in my luggage, whether in Pieschen or in Pillnitz. If something fails, the music keeps playing without a break.
How do I get a quote for a celebration in Dresden?
Write to me via the form or call, no matter whether you celebrate in the Altstadt or in Radebeul. I get back to you within 24 hours, invite you to a no-obligation video call and then send you a personal quote.
Is your date already set?
Then enquire right away, before another couple or team books the same Saturday.
Listen & Watch
Even more options
DJ+ – live musicians right in the middle of my mix.
If you want a voice or an instrument alongside the DJ set, I book live musicians from my network. They add accents between the tracks and blend into the evening, whether the celebration takes place in a palace, a hall or a winery. We decide together which line-up fits.
01
Reception · Opening dance
DJ + saxophone
A saxophone over mellow beats softens the reception and gives the opening dance a little stage moment.
02
Entrance · Surprise
DJ + vocals
A voice accompanies the entrance or surprises the birthday guest of honour when they least expect it.
03
Late evening · Dance floor
DJ + percussion
Drums and rhythm instruments give the evening a boost as soon as everyone is meant to get moving after dinner.
04
Standing reception · Festive dinner
DJ + violin
The violin accompanies the standing reception or the meal and adds sparkle to the evening in the hall, on the terrace or in the park.
