Michael Zimmermann at the DJ booth – DJ for Hamburg

DJ Hamburg · Districts and surroundings

From the HafenCity to Blankenese and on into the surrounding area: music that suits your celebration.

Whether it is a brick warehouse, the Alster shore or the Elbe slope, Altona or Harburg: I am Michael Zimmermann, and I mix what goes down well with your guests. More than 25 years of experience behind the decks go into my sets, and what plays during the evening is decided by the dance floor. We discuss how the celebration should unfold beforehand, in peace, by phone or video call.

Occasions

What are you celebrating in Hamburg?

Three pages for three kinds of celebration: choose the card that fits your date in Hamburg or the surrounding area.

Wedding

Wedding DJ Hamburg

In an Elbe hotel, a banquet hall on the Alster or out on the water: the music accompanies your day from the reception to the very last track.

Company party

Corporate Event DJ Hamburg

Summer party in the harbour, Christmas party in the hall or client evening on board: the music brings guests from every department together.

Birthday

Birthday DJ Hamburg

The thirtieth in the harbour district, the sixtieth on the Elbe shore: the music follows the age of the guests and the taste of the host.

Around Hamburg

Harbour, Alster and brick.

Hamburg lies where the Bille and the Alster flow into the lower Elbe, about 100 kilometres from the North Sea, and since 2015 the Speicherstadt and Kontorhaus district have been UNESCO World Heritage. Those who celebrate here often bring guests with water, trade and music in their blood.

Your celebration can take place in a hall, on a ship or in a company space, in the middle of the city or in one of the towns nearby. Norderstedt, Pinneberg, Ahrensburg and Wedel are part of my service area too.

About me

From the nightclub booth to your party.

I played my first night in a club in 1998, and I have stayed with it ever since: more than 1,450 events, over 650 of them weddings, plus company evenings and birthdays from the living room to the banquet hall. Above all, I have learned that an evening only works when the music suits the people in the room.

If you would like to read up beforehand, you will find 60 reviews on Google with an average of 5.0 stars. My selection depends on how old your guests are, how many are coming and what the evening should mean to you, not on a fixed catalogue.

I also teach workshops at the DJ Allianz e.V., showing how transitions come about and how to read the mood in the room. This craft helps me when grandparents, colleagues and friends are all meant to dance together at your event.

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 does a DJ evening in Hamburg include?

The music, the sound system and, if you like, the announcements all come from me, whether you celebrate in Eimsbüttel, in Altona or in the HafenCity. You decide how your evening is structured, and I make it happen.

Which places around the city do you cover?

All seven Hamburg districts and places such as Norderstedt, Pinneberg, Ahrensburg, Wedel and Geesthacht. Just tell me where you are celebrating.

How early should we get in touch?

Best right away once the date is set, because the most popular Saturdays go first. Within 24 hours I will let you know whether the day is still free with me.

How does the music work when young and old celebrate together?

When family and friends sit at the same table, I mix classics, chart hits and house and watch what the dance floor takes to. We clarify requested tracks and no-gos beforehand in a conversation.

What if a piece of equipment fails in the middle of the evening?

I always carry a second setup including a spare laptop, whether in Winterhude or in Seevetal. If something fails, the music keeps playing without interruption.

How do I get a quote for our celebration in Hamburg?

Write to me via the form or give me a call, whether you are celebrating in Hamburg-Mitte or in Reinbek. I will 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.

DJ+ – live musicians right in the middle of my mix.

If you want more than a DJ set, you can add live musicians from my network. They perform between tracks and blend into the evening, whether your celebration takes place in a warehouse, on the Alster or in the surrounding area. We decide together which line-up fits.

Violinist in warm backlight 04

Standing reception · Festive dinner

DJ + violin

The violin plays during the standing reception or the meal and lends the evening a touch of brilliance, in the hall, on deck or on the terrace.
