Michael Zimmermann at the DJ booth – DJ for Mannheim and the Rhine-Neckar region

DJ Mannheim · Squares and Rhine-Neckar

From the squares of the city centre to Käfertal and Feudenheim, plus the neighbouring towns of the region: music that suits your party.

Whether Neckarstadt, Oststadt or Lindenhof, whether Ludwigshafen or Heidelberg: I am Michael Zimmermann, and I play what suits your guests. I have been behind the decks since 1998, and which tracks get played is shown on the night by the dance floor. How the party should run, we discuss beforehand, unhurried, by phone or video call.

Occasions

What is celebrated in Mannheim?

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

Wedding

DJ Wedding Mannheim

From the sparkling-wine reception in the open air to dancing in the palace hall: I accompany your celebration musically from the welcome to the last song.

Company party

DJ Corporate Event Mannheim

Christmas party, summer festival or anniversary: with the right music, a workforce becomes a celebrating community.

Birthday

DJ Birthday Mannheim

The fortieth in the museum, the thirtieth with friends in the pub: the music follows the age of the guests and the taste of the host.

Around Mannheim

Where the Rhine and Neckar flow together.

Mannheim lies where the Neckar flows into the Rhine and, with around 319,500 inhabitants, is the second-largest city in Baden-Württemberg after Stuttgart. The city centre is known as the city of squares because its streets form a grid of blocks. Since 2014, Mannheim has also held the title UNESCO City of Music.

Your party can take place in a hall, in a garden or in a company space, in the middle of the city or in one of the neighbouring towns. Ludwigshafen, Heidelberg, Schwetzingen and Weinheim are also part of my service area.

About me

From the disco booth to celebrations of every kind.

In 1998 I mixed records in a disco for the first time and understood there that music only carries when it suits the people in the room. Since then I have played more than 1450 celebrations, including over 650 weddings as well as company evenings and birthdays of all sizes.

If you would like to get an impression beforehand, on Google you will find 60 reviews with a rating of 5.0. For my selection, what counts is the age of your guests, the number of people invited and what you hope to get out of the evening.

At the DJ Allianz e.V., I also give workshops, showing how to build transitions and read the mood of a hall. This craft helps me when grandparents and colleagues dance together at your event.

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 Mannheim?

Music, sound system and, if you wish, the announcements all come from me in one package, whether your party takes place in the Neckarstadt, in Käfertal or in the Jungbusch. You decide how the evening is structured, and I make it happen.

Where in the region do I perform?

In all Mannheim districts and in neighbouring towns such as Ludwigshafen, Heidelberg, Viernheim, Schwetzingen and Weinheim. Just tell me where your party will be.

How early should I enquire?

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

How do I find the right music for a mixed crowd of guests?

When family and colleagues sit at the same table, I combine classics, chart hits and house, and watch what the dance floor responds to. We discuss requests and no-gos in the initial conversation.

What happens if a device fails?

In my luggage I carry a second setup with a spare laptop, whether you are celebrating in Neckarau or in Brühl. If something fails, the music keeps playing without interruption.

How do I get a quote?

Write to me via the form or call, no matter whether you are celebrating in Mannheim-Nord or in Ladenburg. 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.

Even more options

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

If you want more than a DJ set, you can add live musicians from my network. They play between the tracks and blend into the evening, whether the celebration is in the city or in a town in the region. Which line-up fits, we decide together.

Reception · Opening dance

DJ + saxophone

Singer with a microphone in backlight 02

Entrance · Surprise

DJ + vocals

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

With drums and rhythm instruments the evening picks up speed as soon as everyone should get moving after dinner.

Violinist in warm backlight 04

Standing reception · Festive dinner

DJ + violin

A violin plays for the standing reception or the dinner and gives the evening splendour in the hall, on the terrace or in the garden.
