Occasions

What are you celebrating in Karlsruhe?

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

Wedding

DJ Wedding Karlsruhe

Whether a banquet hall in Durlach, a brewery restaurant or a terrace with a view: I accompany your celebration musically from the welcome to the last track.

Company party

DJ Company Event Karlsruhe

Summer party, Christmas party or anniversary: the music helps turn a workforce into a celebrating crowd.

Birthday

DJ Birthday Karlsruhe

The fortieth in a hall, the thirtieth among a small circle: the music follows the age of the guests and the taste of the birthday guest.

Around Karlsruhe

Fan, palace and Rhine plain.

Karlsruhe was founded on 17 June 1715, and 32 streets and avenues radiate from the palace, hence the name Fan City. In the east the city area reaches, with the Turmberg, to the edge of the Northern Black Forest.

Your party can take place in a hall, in a garden or in a company space, in the middle of the city or in a neighbouring town. Ettlingen, Bruchsal, Rastatt and Stutensee are also part of my service area.

About me

From the club to the booth, for every party.

My first evening at a discotheque booth was in 1998, and I quickly learned that a playlist alone does not carry an evening; what matters is the people in the room. That has grown into more than 1450 events, over 650 of them weddings, plus company parties and birthdays of all sizes.

If you would like to read beforehand how others have experienced my work, you will find 60 reviews on Google with a rating of 5.0. What matters most to me is the age of your guests, their number and what you wish for the evening.

At the DJ Allianz e.V. I give workshops and show how to build transitions and read moods. That is exactly what I need when grandparents, friends and colleagues are supposed to dance together at your party.

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 my service include if I book a DJ for Karlsruhe?

You get music, sound system and, if you wish, the hosting from me in one package, whether your party takes place in the Südstadt, in Mühlburg or in Durlach. You decide how the evening is structured, and I put it into practice.

Which places around Karlsruhe do I cover?

All districts of Karlsruhe and neighbouring towns such as Ettlingen, Bruchsal, Rastatt, Rheinstetten, Stutensee and Pfinztal. Just tell me where your party is.

When should I get in touch?

As soon as your preferred date is set, because the most popular Saturdays go first. Within 24 hours I will let you know whether the day is still free.

How do I find music that all guests enjoy?

If family and colleagues sit at the same table, I mix classics, chart hits and house, and watch what carries the dance floor. We clarify requests and no-gos beforehand in a conversation.

What happens if a piece of equipment fails?

I carry a second set with a spare laptop, whether you are celebrating in Grötzingen or in Ettlingen. If a device packs up, the music keeps playing anyway.

How do I get a quote?

Write to me via the form or call, no matter whether you are celebrating in the Weststadt or in Bruchsal. Within 24 hours I will get back to you, 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 a DJ set is not enough for you, I bring live musicians from my network on board. They join in between tracks and fit into the programme, whether you celebrate in the city or in a neighbouring town. Which line-up suits you, we decide together.

A voice accompanies the entrance into the hall or surprises the birthday guest just when they least expect it.

Percussionist on congas in backlight 03

Late evening · Dance floor

DJ + percussion

Drums and rhythm instruments give the evening momentum as soon as everyone is supposed to get moving after dinner.

Violinist in warm backlight 04

Standing reception · Festive dinner

DJ + violin

The violin accompanies the standing reception or dinner and lends the evening a sparkle in the hall, on the terrace or in the garden.
