Michael Zimmermann at the DJ booth, DJ for Kiel

DJ Kiel · Districts and fjord

From Holtenauer Straße to Schilksee and along the fjord: music for your celebration in the state capital.

Whether Düsternbrook, Holtenau or Gaarden, Heikendorf or Laboe: I am Michael Zimmermann, and I mix live what your guests enjoy. I have been behind the decks for more than 25 years, and the dance floor tells me how an evening develops. We discuss everything important in advance by phone or video call.

Occasions

What are you celebrating in Kiel?

Three pages for three kinds of celebration: choose the card that fits your date in Kiel or on the fjord.

Wedding

DJ Wedding Kiel

With a view of the fjord, in a hotel or in a hall: the music accompanies your day from the reception to the final song.

Company party

DJ Corporate Event Kiel

Summer party, Christmas party or anniversary: with the right music, the workplace becomes a celebrating crowd.

Birthday

DJ Birthday Kiel

The milestone birthday in a restaurant, the party in the garden house: the music is tailored to the age of the guests and the taste of the host.

Around Kiel

By the harbour, on the fjord.

Kiel curves around the fjord in a horseshoe shape, and anyone celebrating here often has water, ships and sails in view. Every year around three to four million guests come to Kieler Woche, and the festival brings concerts on about 20 stages to the city.

Your celebration can take place in a hall, a hotel or a company space, in the middle of the city or in a town on the coast. Eckernförde, Plön, Heikendorf and Laboe are also part of my service area.

About me

Grew up behind the decks, here for your celebration.

An evening works when the music suits the people in the room. I learned that in my first years at a discotheque booth. More than 1450 events later, including more than 650 weddings, the same holds true at the company party as at the family birthday.

On Google there are 60 reviews with an average of 5.0 stars, in case you want to ask around first. When planning, what matters to me is who is coming, how many guests there will be and what you are celebrating, and then I put together the music and sound.

At DJ Allianz e.V. I give workshops on clean transitions and on reading the mood in the room. You benefit from that when parents, colleagues and friends are meant to dance to the same music.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers for everyone who wants to celebrate in Kiel or on the fjord. The pages on weddings, company parties and birthdays describe it in more detail.

What can I book as a DJ for Kiel?

I bring the music, the sound system and, if you like, the announcements, whether you celebrate in Düsternbrook, Holtenau or on the east shore. You decide how your evening is structured, and I make it happen.

Which places around the fjord are included?

All districts of Kiel and places like Heikendorf, Laboe, Schwentinental, Preetz, Plön and Eckernförde. Just tell me where you are celebrating.

When is the best time to enquire?

As soon as your date is set, because dates around Kieler Woche and on summer Saturdays are in demand. Within 24 hours I will let you know whether I am free on that day.

How do we get parents, colleagues and friends onto the dance floor?

When all age groups are sitting together, I mix classics, chart hits and house and keep an eye on what the floor responds to. We talk through requests and no-gos beforehand.

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

A second setup including a spare laptop always travels with me, whether to Wik or to Laboe. If something fails, the music keeps playing without you noticing.

How do I get a quote?

By form or phone call, no matter whether you are celebrating in central Kiel or in Strande. I reply within 24 hours, we arrange a no-obligation video call, and after that you receive your personal offer.

Is your date already set?

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

Even more options

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

If a DJ set alone is not enough for you, you can add live musicians from my network. They play between the tracks and fit into the evening, whether you are celebrating in the city or in a town on the coast. We decide together who suits your celebration.
