Michael Zimmermann at the DJ booth – DJ for Kassel

DJ Kassel · districts and Northern Hesse

From the Bergpark to the Karlsaue and on into the Fuldatal: music for evenings that suit Kassel.

Whether Vorderer Westen, Wehlheiden or Bad Wilhelmshöhe, Baunatal or Vellmar: I am Michael Zimmermann and I mix live what suits your guests. I have been behind the decks for over 25 years, and how a night unfolds is ultimately decided by the people on the dance floor. We will talk through whatever needs clarifying beforehand calmly by phone or video call.

Occasions

What are you celebrating in Kassel?

Three pages for three kinds of celebration: choose the card that fits your date in Kassel or Northern Hesse.

Wedding

DJ Wedding Kassel

From the palace in the park to the hall by the Bergpark: I provide the soundtrack for your day, from the drinks reception to the final song.

Company party

DJ Corporate Event Kassel

Summer party, Christmas party or anniversary: the right music gets a workforce from the shop floor, the office and the lab onto one dance floor.

Birthday

DJ Birthday Kassel

The fortieth in a former monastery, the sixtieth by the Karlsaue: the music follows your guests and whatever the birthday guest likes to hear.

Around Kassel

documenta city on the Fulda.

Kassel has officially been the documenta city since 1999, the Brothers Grimm spent their longest and most productive period here, and the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe with the Herkules has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2013. Add to that the Karlsaue with the Orangerie and an industrial history that began with Henschel in 1810.

Your celebration can take place in a palace in the park, in a former monastery in the centre or in a village in the Fuldatal. Baunatal, Vellmar, Lohfelden and Kaufungen are also part of my service area.

About me

One booth, many styles.

My path began in a nightclub, and there I learned that people on the dance floor do not stick to plans. From that school, over 1450 events have grown, more than 650 of them weddings, along with company evenings and birthdays in living rooms, gardens and halls.

How my guests experience me can be read on Google: 60 reviews and an average of 5.0 stars. The music depends on who comes, how many there are and what is being celebrated, so I ask first and only then get started.

In workshops of the DJ Allianz e.V. I show other DJs how transitions work and how to read a room. That is exactly what helps when grandma, a colleague and a university friend are all supposed to dance 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.

What do I get when I book a DJ for Kassel?

Music, equipment and, if you wish, the announcements, all from one source, whether the party is in Wehlheiden, on the Wilhelmshöhe or in the city centre. You decide how the evening is structured, and I put it into practice.

Which places around Kassel can I be booked for?

For all Kassel districts and for places such as Baunatal, Vellmar, Lohfelden, Kaufungen, Zierenberg or Hann. Münden. Just tell me where the celebration takes place.

When should I get in touch?

Best as soon as the date is set, because popular Saturdays go quickly. Within 24 hours I will tell you whether the day is still free with me.

How do I find music that everyone likes?

With mixed crowds I switch between classics, current charts and house, and watch what the dance floor takes to. We settle in advance which songs you want to hear or never want to hear.

What happens if the equipment fails?

A second set including a spare laptop is ready in the car, whether in Bettenhausen or in Kaufungen. If something fails, 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 Harleshausen or in Vellmar. I will get back to you within 24 hours, we arrange a no-obligation video call, and afterwards you receive a personal quote.

Is your date already set?

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

DJ+: live musicians in the set.

If you want more than a DJ set, bring in live musicians from my network. They play between the tracks and follow the schedule, whether the party is in a hall in the city centre or in a village in the Kassel Basin. We will work out together which line-up suits you.
