Wedding DJ Ingolstadt · Events since 2004
Your wedding DJ takes care of Ingolstadt.
I am Michael Zimmermann, wedding DJ, and I make sure your wedding in Ingolstadt sounds the way you imagine it, from the ceremony to the final song. For more than 25 years I have made music for celebrations, at weddings since 2004, and of over 1,450 events, more than 650 have been weddings. Whether you celebrate by the lake, in a hotel or at an event venue, I bring my equipment and set it up so that it does not get in your way.
“We couldn't have wished for a better DJ.”

You get exactly one shot. I had 1,450 to practise.
One banger after another – the dance floor was packed the whole night.

Wedding venues in Ingolstadt
I have experienced the region's big venues from the inside over a good two decades, whether by the lake or in a hotel, and you benefit from that in the planning. From the lakeside terrace at the Auwaldsee to the vaulted cellar in Wolkertshofen, I present eight venues around Ingolstadt here, and each one demands a different setup from me.
If you want a symbolic ceremony by the water, around Ingolstadt you will find two venues where the ceremony takes place right at the lake and the celebration then continues in the hall. At one of them you stay under one roof after the yes, because there is a hall for up to 500 people and a smaller one for up to 100.
At the other venue, a fallback spot is ready for your ceremony in case of rain, and the hall there is set up with a dance floor, DJ booth and stage for up to 250 guests. For the I do on the shore, I rely on battery power with no mains connection, and the compact setup doesn't intrude on the picture of your ceremony. I'll agree the entrance, ring exchange and exit with you beforehand, so every track starts at exactly the right moment, before you walk over to the hall together.
Banquet halls and a lakeside terrace at the Auwaldsee: the Large Banquet Hall holds up to 500 people, the small one up to 100. For the symbolic wedding ceremony, the lake itself is ready. On the lakeside terrace, soft music plays during the reception, and in the hall I distribute the sound so that even the tables at the back can hear it.
A small lake, a pavilion and a banquet hall for up to 250 people: that's Birkenheide near Geisenfeld. The symbolic wedding ceremony takes place on the ceremony meadow by the water, and if it rains you move into the greenhouse. I'm already familiar with Geisenfeld as a place to celebrate. For dancing there is a stage, a dance floor and a DJ booth, and I tailor the rest to your guests.
The Maritim Hotel stands right on the Schloßlände, and weddings there are possible for up to 200 people. From the roof terrace with its bar, the view takes in the Neues Schloss. For the reception upstairs I use a battery-powered system with no socket needed, and later the evening gets the full dance floor indoors.
The Heidehof in Gaimersheim is a four-star superior hotel with the MaxWell restaurant and rooms for weddings and banquets. 113 rooms and suites are available for overnight stays. I know the venue in Gaimersheim from previous gigs. During dinner I keep the sound quiet, and toward the dance floor it gets fuller.
In the Etting district of Ingolstadt, a family business now in its fourth generation runs the Schlosswirt, with small parlours for family celebrations and wedding parties. Ask the venue how many guests the room is meant for. In the parlours a slim setup is enough, one that doesn't drown out the conversations at the table.
Next to the Gasthof Peterwirt in Unsernherrn there is a hall of its own where weddings are celebrated. The inn has 14 rooms, and a beer garden in summer. In Unsernherrn I've already experienced the atmosphere in the room myself. You can quickly check the guest capacity of the hall with the venue, and then I'll size the sound system to the room.
A vintage event venue with a conservatory, garden and club room at the Auwaldsee, which makes weddings with a special style possible. You can ask the venue directly for the exact guest capacity. For the conservatory and garden, I adjust the music and volume to each area.
In Wolkertshofen you'll find the Gasthaus Stark with a vaulted wedding hall for up to 90 people, dance floor included. In a vaulted room the sound carries far, so I keep the volume down and give the dance floor punch exactly where it's needed.
The details come from the venues' own websites (as of October 2026). Please have the venue confirm the room and date before you book.
I provide the music for your symbolic wedding ceremony, from the entrance through the ring exchange to the exit, with a sound system that runs without a power outlet, indoors or outdoors, and I bring a wireless microphone for your celebrant.
For your symbolic wedding ceremony, Birkenheide near Geisenfeld has a ceremony meadow right by the lake, with the greenhouse as your fallback if it rains, and the Wirtshaus am Auwaldsee also offers the ceremony by the water. We'll work out together how the entrance should sound musically.
Who I am
Ingolstadt is a fortress and university city on the Danube with a largely preserved old town, and for a wedding there I bring my own story: in 1998 I started out in clubs, not as a hobby but as my apprenticeship years. There I watched what gets people dancing, and I still carry that knowledge into every evening today.
Since 2004 I've played almost exclusively at private and corporate celebrations: over 650 weddings so far, and more than 1,450 events in total. What should stay in your memory later is how the couple beamed and how the family danced hand in hand, not who was at the controls. My own edits create transitions you don't hear but only feel.
How it works
You get in touch, I reply within 24 hours, and after a video call and setup I accompany you from the I do at the Auwaldsee to the opening dance, whether at the Wirtshaus or the Maritim Hotel. Read the whole process →
Request a dateA short enquiry is all it takes at the start. I get back to you within 24 hours, we meet for an informal video call about getting to know each other, the date and the venue, and then my quote follows.
About a week before the big day, we go through everything once more by phone. Your portal serves as the basis, a web app where, after booking, you enter song requests, schedule and special details.
The equipment, microphones and speakers are ready at least two hours before the start, the sound check is done and so is the briefing with the photographer or celebrant. When your guests arrive, there is no sign of the equipment.
From the entrance through the exchange of rings to the exit, I give the ceremony its sound, as a mood and not as an official act. Outside, the battery is enough for me, and at the drinks reception subtle lounge music plays for clinking glasses and chatting.
My dinner sound is calm and atmospheric, so that conversation at the table stays at the centre. With the wireless microphone, speeches are no problem, and I frame every item on the programme, from games to the bouquet toss, with music.
To kick things off, there is your opening dance to an edit of your choice. Then I watch how the floor responds, change the programme spontaneously and make sure all generations celebrate along until the end.
My services
A small celebration or a large wedding party: in Ingolstadt I build a playlist of its own every time and react live in the evening to whatever is working for you right then.
01I've now played at over 650 weddings, always at your side from the first to the last song. For music requests, no-gos and your schedule, I set up a wedding portal of your own for you, which is why many couples choose me as their only supplier. I react live to what your dance floor in Ingolstadt needs right now, not to a fixed song list. Weddings take me all over Bavaria, once to a quiet estate at the edge of a forest, another time to a packed hall in a village centre.

Your service package
As soon as you get in touch, I plan all the music for your wedding in Ingolstadt down to the last detail. With me, Otis Redding fans dance next to Dua Lipa listeners on the same floor, because I think about how the generations play together from the very start, with no surprises.
Instead of running through a fixed programme, I respond to your guests and the atmosphere in the room, hardly make myself noticed, and only speak on the microphone for speeches and programme items.
Add-on
LED uplights bathe your room in the colour of your choice, I change the colour play to suit the mood, and I take care of the entire setup myself.
Enquire →
Add-on
A digital gallery, props and a self-running process are part of my photo booth for your celebration, and instant prints are additionally supplied by FOTOFun+ if needed.
Enquire →
Recommendation
I warmly recommend Feierblick, because your guests collect their phone photos there with no app at all, just via QR code, and the booking is handled entirely separately from me, directly through the provider.
View Feierblick →
Denon or Pioneer supplies the controller, RCF or Electro-Voice the PA, and lighting and wireless microphones come on top, all already included in the offer.
Add-on
At your celebration, a retro telephone is waiting for your guests to speak short greetings into, and afterwards I put together a finished audio file for you.
Enquire →I stay personally reachable for you, reply within a day and keep giving you feedback right up to the wedding.
You bring your music wishes to the planning conversation, and there I also talk through the coordination with your venue and other people involved.
Open Format
I mix Schlager, house and R&B for you with electro swing and classics from the 70s, 80s and 90s, always following the wish list you submit in advance.
About two hours before your celebration I'm there with all my equipment, check the sound in peace, and at the end I take care of the teardown just as independently.
Outdoor
For the entrance, ring exchange and exit, my wireless battery system provides your sound, whether you marry indoors or under the open sky.
If you wish, I coordinate the photo booth, audio guest book, uplights or live instruments directly with the rest of your programme.

These are the questions couples ask me most often, and if yours is missing, just give me a call. All questions and answers →
+49 176 700 580 27My laptop and controller always travel with me, no matter how well equipped your hall already is. My own PA is in the car anyway, and if the system in the venue doesn't meet my standards, I'm self-sufficient without delay. If the existing equipment sounds good, the playback source alone is enough for me, and the big setup is skipped, which saves you time on the day.
With 90 guests you're clearly below the 150 people I cover with my own equipment, so no additional technical company is needed. My basic equipment includes lighting and two wireless microphones, so you don't have to rent anything extra for speeches under the vaulted ceiling. I mix on a Pioneer or Denon controller, and my speakers come from dB Technologies, RCF or Electro-Voice.
I don't plan a fixed cut-off point for your evening; the dance floor decides when it ends. If you want to extend spontaneously, just talk to me at the booth and we'll sort it out right there. Once the last song has faded, I pack up on my own, and you can focus entirely on your guests.
In the wedding portal you create your wish list, your no-go list and your must-plays for the special moments. Realistically, at most 60 of 200 uploaded tracks make it into my set on a wedding evening, and I'd rather tell you that honestly beforehand. I read your taste from the list, and it flows into my set plan while the dramaturgy of the evening stays intact.
Two areas in one evening are something I go through with you by phone a week beforehand, including the moment when your guests move downstairs. I arrive at least two hours before the start and take care of setup and soundcheck, so that everything sounds right upstairs when your first guests arrive. I always have a backup system with me, so there's no silence on the dance floor when the move downstairs happens.
Listen & Watch
Even more options
I bring in saxophone, percussion, vocals or violin from my network and weave the musicians seamlessly into my set for Ingolstadt. Whether that fits at the sparkling wine reception, the entrance, during your symbolic wedding ceremony or only for the opening dance, we'll agree together in the preliminary conversation.
01
Sparkling wine reception · First dance
By the water a saxophone sounds especially clear after the ceremony and turns the walk to the drinks reception into a little stroll full of music.
02
Party peak · energy on the dance floor
Percussion gives the party phase in the hall a club character and makes sure the dance floor does not settle down after midnight.
03
Entrance · special moments
In the large banquet hall a live voice carries your first dance to the very last row and gives the celebration the splendour of a gala evening.
04
Ceremony · bride's entrance
On the roof terrace with a view over the city violin playing feels romantic and stylish, especially when you gather there for dinner or photos.
05
An evening without a break.
Live music for the reception or dinner, and then a full DJ night anyway? Through my network I can arrange a well-rehearsed band, from a duo to a quartet, with vocals, guitar, piano, percussion or saxophone. Because everything is planned by one person, there is one point of contact, one sound concept and no gap between band and DJ.

I also play at weddings in Neuburg an der Donau, Schrobenhausen and Pfaffenhofen, and I'll travel to you in Ingolstadt. The city lies on the Danube in Upper Bavaria, and for a wedding in the Munich metropolitan area you'll find my matching page further down.
My wedding planning for Ingolstadt starts with your message: I get back to you promptly, and we arrange a video call where the ceremony, venue and favourite songs come up. Shortly before the date we go over the schedule one last time, and on the day itself I'm ready early enough to do the setup and soundcheck in peace.

Ballermann, après-ski, schlager hits?
A few songs here and there if it suits the mood – no problem.
But build a whole evening on them? That's not my thing.
There are DJs who can and want to do that.
There are specialists for it.
Nothing against them.
But it's not what I do.
I'm a specialist in live mixing at demanding events.
For people who understand that music is a craft.
Precise transitions.
The right track at the right moment.
Not just pressing play.
If that doesn't suit you – then I'm not the right person. And that's okay.
If it does – I'd love to.
Contact
I'd love to hear from you how your day should sound, especially which song must not be missing. Feel free to write to me about how you imagine your first dance. It's best to get in touch early, because Saturdays in peak season are often booked twelve to eighteen months in advance.
How would you like to enquire?
Both are non-binding – you can add more details at any time.
