Wedding DJ · Munich & Bavaria · Since 2004
650+ weddings. Your evening.
I'm Michael Zimmermann. A DJ since 1998, playing weddings since 2004 – over 1450 events, more than 650 of them weddings. I know every phase of a wedding day: from the quiet ceremony to the full dance floor at midnight. Personal planning, over 25 years of experience, equipment that just works – so that on your most important evening you think of nothing but each other.
“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.

For over 25 years I've played at practically every kind of venue – from farm to castle, from mountain idyll to city loft.
Who I am
You might still hear it: I'm a northerner, but I've been at home in Bavaria for over two decades. The first time I stood behind the decks was in 1998, in a club. At some point I outgrew it, and so did the people I had been playing for night after night. They reached marrying age, and I got to catch exactly those people musically on their most beautiful day. Since 2004 that has grown into more than 650 weddings, out of over 1450 events in total.
For your day in Munich, what I learned from the start applies: it takes a DJ who knows what he's doing, and guests who know how to celebrate. I stay in the background and let the music speak. My own edits connect songs that otherwise never find each other, and so what stays with you from this evening is the goosebumps at the opening dance and a dance floor that is full until the last song.
How it works
Never booked a DJ before? Then you don't need to prepare anything except the date and venue. In our conversation I ask what I need to know: wishes, no-gos and the schedule of your day. I bring the rest, from the equipment to the backup in case something fails.
Once you have booked, you get access to a personalised web app: song requests, no-gos, schedule, programme items, special moments – all straight to me. No paper chaos, no forgotten request.
View demo portal →You send an enquiry. Within 24 hours you get a first reply. Then comes a no-obligation get-to-know-you video call – no pressure, no sales pitch. We see whether the chemistry is right and sort out date, venue and first ideas. From that I put together a concrete offer.
You book – the portal goes live. One week before the wedding we go through everything one last time by phone: schedule, must-plays, special moments. By then everything that's coming up is known – no open point remains.
I'm on site at least 2 hours before the start. Equipment set-up, sound check, coordination with the celebrant and photographer. By the time the guests arrive, everything runs invisibly.
Entrance, exchange of rings, exit – every moment accompanied with music. Subtle lounge music at the sparkling wine reception so guests can talk. Battery operation for outdoors or without mains power.
Atmospheric background music during the meal. Speeches with a wireless mic. Games, surprises, bouquet toss – every moment gets its musical frame.
Your opening dance with a custom edit of your choice. After that I read the dance floor, adapt the set live and bring all generations together – until the last hour.
My services
A wedding in Munich has many faces, but the task stays the same: your evening should sound like you. I bring equipment and planning myself, and I tailor the set to your guests over the course of the evening.
01I accompany your wedding day from the ceremony to the final round and respond at the decks to how the dance floor fills. Entrance, exchange of rings and exit get their song at the right moment, and at a free ceremony the equipment runs on battery, even without a socket. You collect your requests, no-gos and must-plays in advance in your wedding portal.

02Safeguard If I couldn't play in an extreme exceptional case, an equally good colleague from my network steps in, with no change to the terms for you.

Voices from real events
Your service package
I bring sound, lighting, microphones and planning to your wedding in Munich myself and match the equipment to the room and number of guests. How many announcements you'd like and how far I stay in the background, we sort out in the initial chat.
I watch the dance floor continuously and mix live to it. I use the microphone for the entrance, the bridal waltz and the opening of the dance floor; anyone who prefers to make announcements themselves can have it at any time.
Add-on
LED uplights bathe the room in your chosen colour and gently change tones over the course of the evening; I take care of the set-up myself.
Enquire about it too →
Add-on
The photo station runs on its own: your guests grab the props, snap away, and all the pictures end up in a digital gallery. I take care of set-up, operation and tear-down, so you don't need a second provider for it.
Enquire about it too →
Recommendation
Your guests' phone photos collect at Feierblick in a shared gallery, access is via a QR code, and nobody needs an app. I'm happy to recommend the service, but it's booked directly there.
View Feierblick →
At the decks I work with a laptop and a Denon or Pioneer controller, for speakers I rely on RCF, on Electro-Voice or on dB Technologies, plus lighting and two wireless microphones.
Add-on
Your guests speak their congratulations and greetings into a retro telephone, and after the celebration I give you the recordings collected as an audio file.
Enquire about it too →You get a reply to your enquiry within 24 hours. Should I cancel, an equivalent backup DJ from my network of colleagues steps in on the agreed terms; a short-notice cancellation has happened only once in all these years.
One week before your date we go through the schedule, must-plays, no-plays and special moments by phone. In the wedding portal you can enter your request list and no-go list beforehand, and I take care of the arrangements with the venue and the other providers myself.
Open Format
From the 70s to electro swing, from pop through house to R&B and Schlager, I play whatever your guests feel like. I'm happy to take your request list in advance, but there are no request cards for guests at the decks.
I'm on site at least two hours before the start, so that set-up and sound check are done before your celebration begins. I also do the tear-down after the party.
Outdoor
For the entrance, exchange of rings and exit I bring a battery-powered system that needs no cables or socket, in the hall just as under the open sky.
You can additionally book LED uplights in your chosen colour, an automatically running photo station with props and a digital gallery, an audio box for your guests' spoken congratulations, and live musicians from my network.

All the important things at a glance. If your question isn't here – just call.
+49 176 700 580 27For Saturdays in peak season (May to September), 12 to 18 months before the wedding is a realistic lead time. In the off-season and on weekdays, 3–6 months is often enough. If you want one particular DJ or have booked a sought-after venue, enquire earlier – good dates go fast.
In the Munich area, reputable wedding DJs charge between €1,500 and €3,500 (incl. VAT) for full coverage with equipment. The price varies with playing time, venue size, extras such as a photo booth or uplights, and travel. Flat rates under €800 often save on preparation and backup equipment, or extra costs come later.
An open-format DJ doesn't play just one genre but moves smoothly between pop, house, R&B, Schlager, the 80s and current charts. That is exactly what works best at weddings, because guests of different generations have to be entertained. Someone who can only do techno or only Schlager is out of place at a wedding.
Yes, all of it. A sound system suited to the size of the room, DJ equipment (Denon Prime 4+), a wireless microphone for speeches, lighting. On request also uplights for atmospheric room design, a fog machine for the first dance, or the FOTOFun+ station as an add-on. A backup system is always with me, so a technical failure never leaves the dance floor in silence.
In 25 years that has happened exactly once. Through my network of fellow DJs, whom I know partly from the workshops I ran for DJ Allianz e.V., I arrange an equivalent backup DJ on identical terms. In an absolute emergency (death, serious accident) all payments made are refunded in full.
Yes. Battery-powered, no mains connection needed, indoors or outdoors. Entrance, exchange of rings, exit – every song at exactly the right moment. The setup is compact and doesn't disturb the visual scenery. A wireless microphone for the celebrant is included too, so even the back rows understand every word.
Within Bavaria basically anywhere: Munich, Augsburg, Ingolstadt, Tegernsee, Chiemsee, Starnberger See, Allgäu, Garmisch, Berchtesgaden. Exceptional journeys (plane, ferry, mountain railway) are agreed separately. Travel within 100 km of Aichach is included in the standard package; beyond that, a fair per-kilometre charge applies.
Of course. Through my wedding portal you can enter a request list, a no-go list and must-plays for special moments. I work that into my set plan without hurting the overall flow. If you upload 200 requests, know this: realistically, at most 60 of them get played per wedding. But I'll get a picture of your taste.
No deposit months in advance needed – you decide: transfer the full fee in advance, half beforehand with the rest on the wedding day, or everything at once in the evening, shortly before I start playing. I give you this freedom because I know what my set delivers. Business customers receive an invoice with 7 days to pay.
No, I don't end the party in the middle of its best moment. Within your booked playing time there is no rigid final minute – I read the dance floor, not the clock. If you want to extend spontaneously, we'll sort that out right on the spot.
A normal power socket near the DJ is enough for the equipment – without mains power my battery setup runs, ideal for a free ceremony in the garden. Often more important is the volume: some venues have fixed decibel limits or limiters. It's best to clarify this early directly with your venue, so there's no nasty surprise on the wedding day.
Saxophone, percussion, vocals or violin live over my mix – bookable through my network. Especially lovely at the sparkling wine reception, during the ceremony or as a highlight for the first dance. Prices on request, depending on the instrument you want and how long it plays.
Listen & Watch
DJ + Live Artist
If you want the evening to offer even more, I add live instruments right over my mix, individually or combined: saxophone, percussion, vocals or violin. I call this combination DJ+ .
01
Live over the mix.
A saxophone over the mix gives the dance floor a boost no playlist can deliver, whether at the sparkling wine reception or at the peak of the party.
Available on request
02
Live band feeling.
A real singing voice over the mix sounds like a live band and still stays flexible, moving during the opening dance and rousing later in the evening.
Available on request
03
Pure energy.
Percussion adds a lively layer beneath the beat, just right for the moment when the dance floor is meant to really take off.
Available on request
04
Classical meets beat.
A violin over the beat combines classical elegance with electronic sound and pulls your guests onto the dance floor within the first few seconds.
Available on request
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.
Duo to quartet · Available on requestEven more options
Through my network you can book live artists and work them seamlessly into my set – a strong DJ night becomes a live experience your guests will remember for a long time.

Service area
Munich is the centre of the map for me, and all the other places are grouped around it. For your wedding in the city, the same applies as everywhere: your enquiry is answered within 24 hours.
If your venue has a good sound system of its own, I play on it, and if it isn't enough, I'm immediately self-sufficient with my own equipment. If the venue prescribes a volume limit or a limiter, we talk about it early. If you're celebrating outside the city, you'll find the pages for the places around Munich below.
Transparency
A wedding that is meant to consist only of Ballermann and party hits all evening isn't right for me. I'm happy to play a few sing-along bangers if your guests ask for them, but a whole evening of that is not my craft.
And anyone who expects every uploaded request to be played must be prepared for a disappointment: out of 200 requests, realistically no more than 60 get played per wedding.
If you expect something different, tell me honestly in our first conversation, and then we'll find out whether I'm right for you.
Contact
Tell me the date and venue – I'll get back to you within 24 hours with a concrete proposal. Popular Saturdays between May and September are often booked 12 to 18 months in advance.
