Wedding DJ Königssee · Events since 2004
Music for your wedding day at the Königssee, tailored to your guests.
I'm Michael Zimmermann and I make sure your wedding at the Königssee sounds musically seamless. I've been playing at weddings since 2004, and of my more than 1,450 events in over 25 years, more than 650 were weddings. I stay in the background so your guests are at the centre and the music speaks for itself.
“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.
One banger after another – the dance floor was packed the whole night.

Venues for your wedding at the Königssee
For every wedding at the Königssee, I ask you and the venue about room, guest count and schedule, so my equipment fits exactly. Here I introduce five venues, from the inn on the lakeshore to the mountain restaurant, and for each room I plan equipment and setup to suit your celebration.
Only electric boats sail on the Königssee, and the trumpet echo resounds between the rock walls, a setting to which I tune the music of your wedding. Your choice ranges from the Gasthaus Unterstein with its large hall, via the Waldhauser Bräu with its divisible hall, to the Jenneralm high above the valley. I read the room and the guest count so that in the end you get exactly the sound that suits your venue.
The Gasthaus St. Bartholomä is mostly reached by boat, which is why I coordinate transport and setup early with you and the venue. If you want to celebrate in a smaller room like the Königszimmer, I reduce my setup and focus on clear transitions. At the latest two hours before the start I'm ready, set up in peace and check the sound for you.
The Gasthaus Unterstein lists weddings among its occasions. According to the operator, the large hall is approved for a maximum of 300 people and has a stage, projector and XXL screen. Where the stage and screen stand helps decide how I position the booth and speakers for you.
The historic Gasthaus St. Bartholomä stands on the lakeshore in the Berchtesgaden National Park and lists weddings as one of its occasions. According to the operator, the Königszimmer has room for up to 30 people and the Historic Halls for up to 250. Whether you celebrate small in the Königszimmer or big in the Historic Halls determines the size of my setup.
The Waldhauser Bräu lists weddings and corporate parties as occasions. According to the operator, the large hall has room for up to 110 people, split into 70 seats in the main area and 40 in the side area. Because the hall can be divided, we'll discuss beforehand in which area the dance floor and booth should go.
The Jenneralm at the mountain station of the Jennerbahn lists wedding parties as an occasion and, according to the operator, has a wedding room of 70 m². The venue gives no guest count for wedding parties, so you check the size directly with the Jenneralm beforehand. Then I tailor my setup to this room for you.
The lakeside restaurant Echostüberl also mentions weddings in its reservation notes. According to the operator, the dining room has 110 seats. I plan the booth and speakers to suit the dining room as soon as you've clarified with the venue how your evening there should run.
I took rooms, capacities and occasions from the venues' websites, as of October 2026. Before booking, you should check with the respective venue that everything is still correct.
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.
Who I am
Between the steep rock walls at the Königssee the trumpet echo resounds, and your wedding there is welcome to carry just as far. For me it started in 1998 in clubs, where I learned to bring people together with music. Since 2004 I've been playing at private and corporate celebrations, over 1,450 events, more than 650 of them weddings.
I stay in the background and let the music speak, so you have moments that stay with you. My own edits lead songs into one another without you hearing the change. Your family and friends should celebrate together, and I tune the music to your guests.
How it works
Your message reaches me, I get back to you the same or the next day, and then come the video call, detailed planning and setup up to the opening dance. Read the whole process →
Request a dateYour enquiry reaches me, and I get back to you by the next day. In a casual video call where nobody is trying to sell anything, we talk about the date, lakeside or mountains and your wishes, and then there is a quote.
Once you have booked, your wedding portal goes online: a web app where requested songs, no-gos, the schedule and special moments find their place. Around a week before the celebration, we speak by phone and go over everything once more.
I arrive for setup at least two hours before the start, even if the venue is by the water or in the mountains. The sound check and briefing with the celebrant or photographer follow, and then the equipment stays invisible to all guests.
I fine-tune the music for the ceremony: quiet for the entrance, solemn for the exchange of rings, festive for the exit. At the drinks reception by the water, lounge music encourages conversation, and thanks to battery operation, I need no mains power for it.
A calm carpet of sound lies over the meal, and your guests give speeches at the wireless microphone. Everything else, meaning games, surprises and the bouquet toss, gets fitting music from me as its setting each time.
What begins as an opening dance to your chosen edit turns into a party for everyone. I keep an eye on the dance floor and adapt my set continuously, so that young and old dance together until the finale.
My services
From a small circle to a full hall celebration: I tune the music and equipment for your wedding at the Königssee to your guests.
01In our shared wedding portal you enter music requests, no-gos and your daily schedule beforehand, so nothing is left open on the evening. I don't reel off a fixed timetable, because at every transition I follow the mood of your guests. With more than 650 weddings behind me, you're in good hands with a single contact person from the first message to the final song. All my equipment travels with me, whether to an inn, a mountain restaurant or a hall.

Your service package
At wedding tables several generations usually sit together, and that's why soul classics and current charts share the same evening with me. For you, the music stays a continuous thread that I hold in my hands from the first conversation to the end.
My set emerges live from the mood in the room, I hold back, and I only use the microphone for speeches and your programme items.
Add-on
My LED uplights bathe the room in the colour of your choice and change over the evening to match the music for you.
Enquire →
Add-on
Your photo booth runs by itself at the celebration, provides an online gallery for you and prints pictures straight away on request.

Recommendation
With Feierblick you collect guest photos without an app; this is an external recommendation from me and can be booked independently of my offer.
View Feierblick →
I bring two wireless microphones, lighting, a Denon or Pioneer controller and Electro-Voice or RCF speakers to you.
Add-on
Your guests record greetings on the retro telephone, and afterwards I edit these recordings into a finished audio file for you.
Enquire →You'll receive a reply from me within a day of your enquiry, and I remain available to you until the celebration.
We'll discuss your music wishes beforehand, and then I coordinate with the venue and other suppliers.
Open Format
Whether the seventies, the nineties or current charts: I mix what suits you and your guests, and I don't keep a list for shouted requests.
About two hours before the first guest I'm ready, set everything up in peace, check the sound and tidy up myself after the celebration.
Outdoor
I underscore your ceremony with music from the entrance to the exit, and because my system runs on battery, I don't need a socket for it.
I combine the photo booth, live musicians, uplights and audio guest book as you wish and handle all the arrangements for them.
Request a date →Frequently asked questions
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 equipment runs on battery power, so a reception under the open sky doesn't fail with me because of a socket. For the spot outside I coordinate with the operator beforehand, so you aren't affected. After that the music moves seamlessly indoors for you, so terrace and hall together make up one single evening.
For the entrance, the ring exchange and the exit I don't need any cables, because my system runs entirely on battery. We'll choose the pieces together in advance so they fit your schedule. How much room the ceremony gets at your venue is something the venue operator can tell you.
I watch all evening who is heading for the dance floor and who is staying at the table, and I adapt my selection accordingly. In my edits, eras and genres flow together, so there is no seam between schlager and today's charts. Beforehand, you tell me which songs must be played and which ones you don't want to hear.
A saxophone player over my set is no problem. I arrange one from my network, just like vocals, percussion or violin. It works especially well at the reception, during the ceremony or for the opening dance of your celebration. We'll agree on the exact timing together in advance, right in our first conversation.
My standard setup is enough for celebrations with around 100 guests; a group of 40 fills it easily, so you don't need anything smaller. In small rooms I set up more compactly, because floor space and guest count determine my equipment, not the occasion. For my booth, a single power outlet within reach is enough.
Summer weekend dates, especially Saturdays, are often booked a year to a year and a half in advance, so it's better to contact me early. If you choose a weekday or months outside the summer, a lead time of three to six months is usually enough for me. Even a late date is worth a message; I'll tell you openly whether there is still a slot in my calendar.
Listen & Watch
Even more options
I arrange saxophone, vocals, percussion or violin for your wedding evening from my network. We'll discuss with you in good time before the celebration which moment suits the performance best.
01
Sparkling wine reception · First dance
Against the wall of the Alps and still water, a saxophone makes the drinks reception sound both dignified and warm.
02
Party peak · energy on the dance floor
A warm drum rhythm after dinner draws the wedding party out of the mountain calm and makes the dance floor the centre of the evening.
03
Entrance · special moments
On the lakeshore, live vocals at the first dance stir an echo of emotion that deeply touches your guests and stays with them for a long time.
04
Ceremony · bride's entrance
The view of the Alps and the sound of a violin complement each other at the ceremony, as the tone feels like a quiet echo of the mountains and makes the moment tender.
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.

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
Get in touch, and together we'll shape an evening where your guests fill the dance floor. For summer Saturdays it's best to ask me early; for other dates, three to six months' notice is often enough.
