Michael Zimmermann at the DJ booth – DJ for Erfurt

DJ Erfurt · Districts and Thuringian Basin

From the old town to Daberstedt and out into the Thuringian Basin: music that suits your celebration.

Erfurt has its cathedral and the Severikirche, a bridge lined with inhabited half-timbered houses and a park that gave the City of Flowers its name. I am Michael Zimmermann, and at your celebration the mood in the room decides every track. How the evening should go, we talk through beforehand, calmly, by phone or video call.

Around Erfurt

City of bridges, city of flowers.

The Krämerbrücke over the Gera is 79 meters long and the longest continuously built-up bridge in Europe, with 32 houses inhabited today. Around 1900, Erfurt horticulture was a world leader, and exactly this mix of craft and bloom is a model for my sets: carefully built and never pushy.

Your celebration can take place in the old town, in a park with themed gardens or in one of the places in the Thuringian Basin. Weimar, Arnstadt, Gotha and Sömmerda are also part of my service area.

About me

From the nightclub booth to your celebration.

I started in 1998 at the mixing desk of a nightclub and learned there that music only carries when it reaches the people in the room. Since then I have looked after over 1450 events, more than 650 of them weddings, as well as company evenings and birthdays of every size.

If you would like a picture in advance, Google has 60 reviews with an average of 5.0 stars. My selection depends on how old your guests are, how many there will be and what the evening should mean.

At DJ Allianz e.V. I give workshops on transitions and on reading the dance floor. That helps me wherever great-grandparents, colleagues and friends celebrate together.

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.

What do I get when I book a DJ in Erfurt?

Music, sound system and, if you like, announcements come from one source, whether you celebrate in the old town, in Daberstedt or in Hochheim. How your evening is structured is up to you, and I put it into practice.

Which places around Erfurt do you travel to?

To all districts of Erfurt and to places such as Weimar, Arnstadt, Gotha, Sömmerda and Apolda. Just tell me where the celebration is.

When is the best time to enquire?

As soon as the date is set, because popular Saturdays are the first to go. Within 24 hours you will hear from me whether the day is still free with me.

How does the music get young and old moving together?

When several generations sit at the same table, I mix classics, chart hits and house, and watch what the floor responds to. We settle requests and no-gos beforehand in a conversation.

What if the technology fails at our celebration?

A second setup including a spare laptop is in my luggage, whether in Ilversgehofen or in Gotha. If something fails, the music keeps playing without interruption.

How do I get a quote for Erfurt?

Write to me via the form or call, no matter whether you celebrate in the old town or in Arnstadt. 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.
