Wedding
DJ Wedding OberhausenWhether a beer garden by the canal, a ballroom in the palace or a factory hall near the main station: the music accompanies you from the sparkling wine reception to the last dance.
DJ Oberhausen · Gasometer, Neue Mitte and Sterkrade
From the Neue Mitte to Sterkrade: music for the occasion you're planning.
Anyone celebrating in Oberhausen can choose between a brick factory hall, a ballroom in the palace and a hall with a view of the Gasometer. I'm Michael Zimmermann, and I shape the music to fit the room and the people who are meant to dance in it. What should play that evening, we clarify beforehand, calmly, by phone or video.
“We couldn't have wished for a better DJ.”
– Ben Kampen, wedding · Google reviewThe locations. The moments. My music.

You get exactly one shot. I had 1,450 to practise.
Micha is a great DJ. He is super nice and implements everything exactly as agreed. I can absolutely recommend him.

Around Oberhausen
The Gasometer is 117.5 metres high and has been open for exhibitions since its conversion in 1994; next to it, the Neue Mitte emerged with the CentrO in 1996. Around 213,000 people live in three city districts, and the International Short Film Festival has been held in the city since 1954.
Whether you're celebrating in Sterkrade, in Osterfeld, in Alt-Oberhausen or in a neighbouring city like Mülheim, Bottrop or Duisburg, tell me the location. Essen, Dinslaken and Gladbeck are also part of my service area.

About me
My craft comes from the nightclub, where a few bars are enough to show whether a track works. That became over 1450 events, more than 650 of them weddings, plus company evenings and birthdays in living rooms as well as in large halls.
Across 60 Google reviews, the average is a 5.0. Before I take on a celebration, I want to know who is coming, how old the guests are and which tracks absolutely must not be missing that evening.
At the DJ Allianz e.V., I give workshops on transitions and on reading the dance floor. I also apply this knowledge in Oberhausen, where colleagues from the business park celebrate alongside families from the neighbourhood.

Services
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.

Yes, whether Mülheim, Duisburg, Essen, Bottrop or Dinslaken: tell me the location and I'll check whether my date works.
As soon as the date and venue are set, because popular weekends get booked early. You'll find out within 24 hours whether my calendar still has room for your day.
I start with tracks that many generations know and carry the mix on from there. Anything that must not be played under any circumstances, you let me know in advance.
A second setup with a backup computer is ready. If one part fails, I switch over and the music keeps playing.

Listen & Watch
Even more options
If a DJ set isn't enough for you, live musicians from my network join in. They come in between two tracks and fit into the schedule, whether the party is in a ballroom, a hall or under the open sky. Who plays, we decide together.
01
Reception · Opening dance
A saxophone over soft beats warms up the reception and turns the first dance into a performance.
02
Entrance · Surprise
A voice accompanies the entrance into the hall or surprises the birthday guest when they least expect it.
03
Late evening · Dance floor
Drums and rhythm instruments drive the late evening when everyone should get moving after dinner.
04
Standing reception · Festive dinner
The violin accompanies the standing reception or the meal and gives the evening a festive frame in a ballroom, foyer or garden.
