Michael Zimmermann at the DJ booth – DJ for Magdeburg

DJ Magdeburg · Districts, Elbe and Börde

From the Domplatz to Cracau and out into the Börde: music that suits your celebration.

Magdeburg was an imperial city before it became a big city, and many a guest knows every corner here. I am Michael Zimmermann, and I build your evening to suit this audience: anyone who grew up on the banks of the Elbe quickly notices whether music comes from a machine or from a feel for the room. We will discuss what you need beforehand by phone or video call.

Occasions

What are you celebrating in Magdeburg?

Each card leads to its own page: choose the occasion that fits your date on the Elbe or in the Börde.

Wedding

DJ Wedding Magdeburg

From the ballroom at the Herrenkrug to the Gesellschaftshaus at the Klosterbergegarten: the music carries your day from the reception to the last song.

Company party

DJ Corporate Event Magdeburg

Summer party, Christmas party or anniversary: the music brings together departments that otherwise only meet by email.

Birthday

DJ Birthday Magdeburg

Whether a milestone birthday in a restaurant or a family party in the park: the tracks follow your guests and your taste.

Around Magdeburg

Emperor Otto's city on the Elbe, city of bridges.

Otto I founded the Archbishopric of Magdeburg in 968, and the cathedral with its two towers of almost 100 metres has shaped the skyline above the river ever since. Where a building has such a lasting effect, an evening should resonate for just as long. My way of working fits that: a mix that carries, rather than one that is merely loud.

Celebrations take place in the old town, at the Gesellschaftshaus at the Klosterbergegarten, in the Elbauenpark or at the Herrenkrug. Barleben, Biederitz, Schönebeck, Wolmirstedt and the Hohe Börde are also part of my service area.

About me

Grew up behind the decks, here for your celebration.

I started out in a nightclub, more than 25 years ago. That is where I realised that a mix only works if it is meant for the people in the room. Since then it has grown to over 1450 events, including more than 650 weddings, plus company evenings and birthdays from a round at the pub to the grand ballroom.

On Google there are 60 reviews, averaging 5.0 stars. What plays at your event depends on the occasion, on the age and number of your guests and on the mood of the evening.

In workshops run by the DJ Allianz e.V. I pass on how to make transitions clean and how to read the mood of a dance floor. Anyone who, as in Magdeburg, likes to think things over for a long time before building them will appreciate that.

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 we get if we book you for an evening in Magdeburg?

I bring the sound system, lighting, wireless microphones and the music selection, whether you are celebrating in Stadtfeld, Sudenburg or on the Werder. You decide how the evening goes, and I take care of making it happen.

Which towns around the city are part of my service area?

Besides all the districts, it covers Barleben, Biederitz, Hohe Börde, Wolmirstedt, Schönebeck, Gommern and Burg. Just tell me your location and I will let you know whether it works.

When should we get in touch so our date is still available?

Best as soon as the date is set, because popular summer Saturdays are booked early. Within 24 hours I will tell you whether your day is still free.

How does it work with our requested songs and no-go list?

You send me your list in advance, showing what must be played and what never should be. That becomes my framework, and on the night I decide by the dance floor when each track comes up.

What happens if a device fails?

I bring a backup laptop, a second wireless link and further equipment. If something fails, the music carries on without an audible gap and you will not notice a thing.

How do I get a quote for my celebration on the Elbe?

Send me a message via the form or give me a call, whether you are celebrating at the Domplatz or in the Börde. I will get back to you within 24 hours, arrange a no-obligation video call and then write 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 would like a voice or an instrument alongside the set, you can book live musicians from my network. They join in between two tracks and give the evening a second colour, whether in the hall, the hotel ballroom or the park on the Elbe. We choose the line-up together.
