Michael Zimmermann at the DJ booth, DJ for Heidelberg

DJ Heidelberg · Districts and Rhine-Neckar

From the Altstadt to Kirchheim and on to the towns along the Neckar: music that fits your celebration.

Whether Neuenheim, Weststadt or Bergheim, whether Schwetzingen or Weinheim: I'm Michael Zimmermann and I play what suits your guests. I've worked behind the decks since 1998, and which tracks play is shown on the night by the dance floor. We settle the schedule beforehand, calmly, by phone or video call.

Occasions

What is being celebrated in Heidelberg?

Three pages for three kinds of celebration: pick the card that fits your date in Heidelberg or in the neighborhood.

Wedding

DJ Wedding Heidelberg

Whether Spiegelsaal, hotel salon or ship deck: I shape the music of your celebration from the sparkling wine reception to the last track.

Company party

DJ Corporate Event Heidelberg

Summer party, year-end celebration or anniversary: the music turns colleagues into a celebrating crowd.

Birthday

DJ Birthday Heidelberg

The fortieth in a club, the sixtieth with the family: the music follows the age of the guests and the taste of the birthday guest.

Around Heidelberg

Where the Neckar leaves the Odenwald.

Heidelberg lies where the Neckar leaves the Odenwald, partly already in the Upper Rhine Plain. The Hauptstraße in the Altstadt runs as a pedestrian zone for about 1.6 kilometers, and the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität has existed since 1386.

Your celebration can take place in a hall, in a garden or at the company, in the middle of the city or in a neighboring town. Schwetzingen, Leimen, Weinheim and Mannheim are also part of my service area.

About me

First nightclub, then celebrations of all kinds.

In 1998 I stood behind the decks in a nightclub for the first time and quickly learned that music only works when it suits the people in the room. By now that adds up to more than 1450 celebrations, over 650 weddings as well as company evenings and birthdays of every size.

If you'd like to get an idea beforehand, Google shows 60 reviews with a 5.0 rating. What matters to me is how old your guests are, how many of you there are and what you want from the evening.

I also give workshops at DJ Allianz e.V., showing how to build transitions and read moods. That is exactly the craft I need when grandparents and college friends dance on the same floor 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 do I get when I book a DJ for Heidelberg?

Music, sound system and, if you like, the announcements all come from one source, whether your celebration is in Neuenheim, in the Bahnstadt or in Rohrbach. You decide how the evening is structured, and I make it happen.

Where in the Rhine-Neckar region do I play?

In all Heidelberg districts and in neighboring towns such as Schwetzingen, Leimen, Weinheim, Wiesloch, Ladenburg and Mannheim. Just tell me the location of your celebration.

How early should I enquire?

As soon as your preferred date is set, because popular Saturdays go first. Within 24 hours you get my answer on whether the day is still free.

How do I find the right music when college friends and grandparents celebrate together?

When young and old sit at the same table, I mix classics, charts and house and watch what the dance floor takes to. We settle requests and no-gos in the preliminary call.

What happens if a device fails?

A second setup with a spare laptop is part of my gear, whether in Handschuhsheim or in Walldorf. If something fails, the music keeps playing without a break.

How do I get a quote?

Write to me via the form or call, no matter whether you celebrate in Kirchheim or in Edingen-Neckarhausen. 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.

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

If you want more than a DJ set, bring in live musicians from my network. They play between the tracks and fit into the schedule, whether your celebration is in the city or in a town on the Neckar. We decide together which lineup suits.
