Wedding
DJ Wedding JenaUnder the dome, in the mountain inn or in the concert hall: the music accompanies your day from the reception to the final track.
DJ Jena · districts and Saale valley
From Lobeda to Wenigenjena and up onto the limestone slopes: music that suits your celebration.
Jena lies in the Saale valley between steep limestone slopes, and since Carl Zeiss and Ernst Abbe the city's name has stood for optics and science. I am Michael Zimmermann, and at your celebration the mood in the room decides which track comes next. How the evening should go, we discuss beforehand, calmly, by phone or video call.

Around Jena
City of lenses, city of researchers.
In 1846 Carl Zeiss founded an optical workshop in Jena, and Ernst Abbe turned it into a company with a worldwide reputation. Add to that the university, founded in 1558, and the Jentower at 144.5 metres. This combination of precision and curiosity is a model for my sets: precisely crafted and never pushy.
Your celebration can take place in the city, on one of the hills above the Saale, or in a village in the Saale valley. Dornburg, Kahla, Stadtroda and Weimar are also part of my service area.

About me
From the club DJ booth to your celebration.
Behind the decks of a club, from 1998 I learned how a room breathes and when a track comes too early. Today I have more than 1450 events behind me, over 650 of them weddings, plus company evenings and birthdays of every size.
The page on Google gives you a first impression: 60 reviews, an average of 5.0 stars. What I play depends on the age of your guests, on how many there are, and on what the evening means to you.
As a lecturer at DJ Allianz e.V., I give workshops on transitions and on reading the dance floor. That helps especially where researchers, craftspeople and relatives come 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.

+49 176 700 580 27What do you offer if I am looking for a DJ for Jena?
Music, sound system and, on request, announcements all come from me, whether you celebrate in the old town, in Lobeda or in Winzerla. You decide how your evening is structured, and I put it into practice.
Which places besides Jena are part of your service area?
All districts of Jena and places such as Dornburg, Kahla, Stadtroda, Weimar and Apolda. Just tell me where you are celebrating.
How early should I get in touch?
As soon as the date is fixed, because popular Saturdays go first. Within 24 hours I will let you know whether the day is still open.
Does your music also work when students and grandparents sit at the same table?
Yes, I mix classics, chart hits and house and watch what the floor accepts. We discuss requests and no-go songs in advance.
And what if the equipment suddenly fails at our party?
A second setup with a spare laptop is part of my luggage, whether in Burgau or in Kahla. If a device fails, the music carries on without a break.
How do I get a quote in Jena?
Write to me via the form or call, whether you are celebrating in the old town or in Stadtroda. 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.
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, you can book live musicians from my network. They perform between the tracks and blend into the evening, whether the celebration takes place in a hall, on a terrace or in a beer garden. We decide together which line-up fits.
01
Reception · Opening dance
DJ + saxophone
A saxophone over mellow house gives the reception warmth and turns the first dance into a small performance.
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 drive the evening forward as soon as everyone is supposed to get moving after dinner.
04
Standing reception · Festive dinner
DJ + violin
The violin plays at the standing reception or during the meal and lends the evening splendour in the hall, on the terrace or in the garden.
