Michael Zimmermann at the DJ booth – DJ for Lake Garda

DJ Lake Garda · Behind the decks since 1998

Your celebration at Lake Garda, with the music that suits the shore and your guests.

I am Michael Zimmermann, an event DJ with my own sound system and my own sound. From the northern end near Riva del Garda, past the olive groves at the foot of Monte Baldo, to the lemon gardens on the western shore, I look after celebrations with the water as a backdrop, whether a wedding, company party or birthday.

Occasions

What do you want to celebrate by the lake?

I have put together a separate page each for weddings, company parties and birthdays. Choose the one that suits your celebration by the lake.

Wedding

DJ Wedding Lake Garda

From the reception to the last dance: music for the day you celebrate at the northern end, on the eastern shore or on the western shore.

Company party

DJ Corporate Event Lake Garda

A team evening in Riva, Desenzano or Salò, an anniversary party by the water: music that keeps colleagues and guests at one table and later brings them onto the dance floor.

Birthday

DJ Birthday Lake Garda

A milestone birthday by the water or in the garden: an evening that suits the guest of honour and the crowd of guests.

Around the lake

From the northern end to Sirmione.

At the northern end lie Riva del Garda and Torbole, with Monte Baldo rising behind them. Its slopes on the eastern shore are covered with olive groves all the way down to Malcesine, Torri del Benaco and Bardolino.

The western shore with Limone, Gargnano, Gardone Riviera and Salò is known as the Riviera of the lemon gardens, followed in the south by Desenzano, Sirmione and Peschiera. For each of these shores an evening can be planned that suits the place and the guests.

About me

From club night to celebration by the lake.

Behind me are more than 1450 celebrations, including over 650 weddings. I started in 1998 behind the turntables in clubs, and since 2004 I have mainly played at private and corporate occasions.

What I appreciate most is the moment when a room warms up. I watch who feels comfortable where, and build the evening from that. Those who reviewed me did so with five stars: on Google there are 60 votes with an average of 5.0.

My transitions come from self-edited cuts. How to go about that, I show other DJs in workshops at DJ Allianz e.V. On the lakeshore, what matters most is that the music suits the light, the wind and the mood.

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

General questions.

A short explanation of what you need to know for a celebration by the lake. Details on weddings, company parties and birthdays can be found on the pages for each occasion.

Why do you need a DJ at Lake Garda at all?

He makes sure the music suits the evening, from the aperitif on the shore to the late dance floor. That applies to the lakeside terrace in Malcesine just as much as to the garden above Salò.

For which shores and places can the DJ be enquired?

You can enquire about me for the northern end with Riva and Torbole, the eastern shore from Malcesine to Lazise, the western shore from Limone to Salò and the southern towns of Sirmione, Desenzano and Peschiera.

When should you enquire for the lake?

Especially in the warm months by the water, many weekends are booked early. So write to me as soon as you have a place and an approximate date in mind.

Does the music suit mixed guests from several countries?

Yes, I mix German and international tracks, from classics to current hits. We note down in advance which songs you absolutely want to hear or leave out.

What changes when the celebration takes place outdoors right by the water?

Wind from the lake and open terraces call for a setup that keeps the equipment protected, and a fallback plan for changes in the weather. I plan both through with you and the venue in advance.

How do I get in touch with you?

Via the form on this page or by phone. I get back to you within a day, we talk about the location and your wishes by video, and then you receive a quote.

Is your date already set?

Then enquire right away, before another couple or team books the same Saturday.
