Wedding
DJ Wedding RecklinghausenA manor house in the old town, a colliery hall with a high ceiling or a moated castle in the neighboring town: the music accompanies your day until the very last song.
DJ Recklinghausen · Festival city in the Vest
From the old town to Suderwich: music for celebrations in the district capital on the northern edge of the Ruhr area.
I am Michael Zimmermann, and I play wherever Recklinghausen celebrates, be it in the old town, in Hochlar or in Hillen. A city where miners and actors once founded a festival together knows celebrations where very different people sit at one table. How you shape that into an evening, we discuss in advance without rush.

Around Recklinghausen
Festival city, main town of the Vest and northern edge of the Ruhr area.
With around 115,000 inhabitants, Recklinghausen is the district capital of the Recklinghausen district and lies on the northern edge of the Ruhr area. The Ruhr Festival has been held here since 1947, having begun in the winter of 1946/47 with coal in exchange for art. The old town with the Petruskirche and the mining history in the south show both sides of the city.
Whether you celebrate in the old town, in Suderwich or in Essel is no obstacle for the setup. I also play in Herten, Marl, Oer-Erkenschwick and Datteln.

About me
On the faders when the floor fills up.
In a nightclub I learned that the dance floor says more than any request list. Today I have more than 1450 events behind me, including over 650 weddings and many company evenings and birthdays.
On Google, 60 guests and clients rate my work with an average of 5.0 stars. At the start of every planning session I want to know who is coming: how many people, which age groups and which songs belong to the evening.
As a member of the DJ Allianz e.V., I show colleagues in workshops how to blend styles seamlessly and read a dance floor. In a city with such varied guests, that helps me at almost every celebration.

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.

+49 176 700 580 27What is included when I book you as a DJ in Recklinghausen?
Music, sound system, lighting and announcements all come from one person, whether you celebrate in Hochlar, in the old town or in Suderwich. You set the frame of the evening, and I turn it into music.
Do you also come to the towns of the Vest?
Yes, to Herten, Marl, Oer-Erkenschwick, Datteln and Castrop-Rauxel as well as the districts in between. Just tell me where the celebration takes place.
When should I get in touch?
Best as soon as the date is set. Popular Saturdays go first, and within a day you will hear from me whether I am free.
Mining families, commuters and students celebrate together here: does your music suit a mix like that?
I start with songs almost everyone knows and let the set grow with the mood. What must not be played under any circumstances, you note in advance, and I stick to it all evening.
How reliable is the equipment if something fails in the middle of the evening?
A second setup including a spare laptop is always in the car. If a device gives up, the music keeps going before the guests even notice.
How do I get a quote?
Send the form or give me a quick call. I will get back to you within 24 hours, we talk without obligation by video, and afterwards you receive your 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 over my mix.

01
Reception · Opening dance
DJ + saxophone
A saxophone over mellow beats gives the champagne reception a moment the guests will not forget.
02
Entrance · Surprise
DJ + vocals
A voice accompanies the entrance or surprises the birthday guest exactly when nobody expects it.
03
Late evening · Dance floor
DJ + percussion
Percussion instruments give the evening a boost as soon as the meal is cleared and the hall should start moving.
04
Standing reception · Festive dinner
DJ + violin
A violin adds elegance to the standing reception and dinner, in the hall as well as in the garden or foyer.
