Wedding DJ Passau · Events since 2004
Music for your wedding day in Passau, perfectly suited to your guests.
I'm Michael Zimmermann, a wedding DJ out of passion, and I'd like to carry your wedding in Passau musically. Since 2004, weddings have been a firm part of my profession: of around 1,450 events in over 25 years, more than 650 were weddings. I stay in the background, you celebrate, and the music does the rest.
“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.

Wedding venues in Passau
Before we plan, I read up on what the venues say about themselves, because room size and guest count decide how much equipment I bring for your wedding. Here you'll find six venues, from the country estate with a symbolic ceremony in the courtyard, through the banquet hall with a freight elevator, to the small wedding celebration on the riverbank, and for each of them I tailor the equipment and schedule to your day.
Anyone who marries in Passau celebrates in an old town on a narrow peninsula between the Inn and the Danube, and I tailor my music to this backdrop. Your options include a venue with terraces high above the city, a hotel overlooking the Dreiflüsseeck, where three rivers meet, and a banquet hall with a freight elevator.
A large banquet hall needs a different setup from me than a small terrace, and room and guest count set the pace. If you have a theme, we'll talk about which music goes with it and what should never be played. I allow at least two hours so the equipment and sound are ready long before your first guest walks through the door.
The Oberhaus lists weddings among its occasions. According to the operator, separate halls can be used for small groups up to large parties, in summer people celebrate on the terraces, and the entire venue can be booked exclusively. Because the hall and terrace are separate, I'll clarify with you beforehand where my system stands and when it moves.
The Altstadt-Hotel advertises getting married at the Dreiflüsse-Eck, where three rivers meet. According to the operator, the rooms including the panoramic terrace have space for up to approx. 100 people. For a party of this size, I set up my equipment compactly so the terrace and room fit together musically.
The Redoute lists weddings as one of its occasions. According to the operator, the Large Hall offers banquet seating for up to 235 people, the Small Hall for up to 100, and a passenger and freight elevator is available. The freight elevator gets my equipment to its spot easily, and I plan the system around the hall you choose.
Hotel Schloss Ort hosts small wedding celebrations. According to the operator, the rooms offer space for a maximum of 60 people, plus a sun terrace right on the bank of the Inn. In such a manageable group, I deliberately keep the setup small and work out with you where music is heard outside and where inside.
Gut Aichet in Thyrnau, in the area around the city of Passau, lists weddings among its occasions and, according to the operator, offers a symbolic wedding ceremony in the inner courtyard. Depending on seating, the estate barn takes up to 140 guests, the hunting lodge up to 50. I plan the system separately for the courtyard and the barn and clarify with you whether the music for the outdoor ceremony runs on battery.
The Gasthof Knott in Tiefenbach, in the area around the city of Passau, lists weddings, birthday parties and anniversaries as occasions. According to the operator, the hall has room for more than 250 guests, and in summer people also celebrate in the beer garden. For a hall of this size, I plan for more power and lighting so the sound arrives in full even in the back rows.
What the venues state about occasions, halls and capacities, I took from their websites (as of October 2026). Whether your date is still available, the respective venue will tell you.
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.
According to the operator, Gut Aichet in Thyrnau offers the symbolic wedding ceremony in the inner courtyard, and we'll choose the music for your ceremony together well before the celebration.
Who I am
According to the tourist information office, Passau Cathedral houses the largest cathedral organ in the world, and for your wedding I wish you a sound that carries just as well. I've been behind the decks since 1998, the first years in clubs, and since 2004 at private and corporate parties. It has come to over 1,450 events for me, more than 650 of them weddings.
I make sure you can celebrate your most beautiful day together with family and friends. I stay in the background, because the music speaks for you. I cut my own edits so that songs from different decades flow smoothly into one another. I collect your wishes in advance, must-plays and no-plays included.
How it works
You write to me, I get back to you within a day, and then come the video call, planning and setup, so your opening dance starts without a hitch. Read the whole process →
Request a dateWhen your enquiry reaches me, I will get back to you within a day. The video call to get to know each other is non-binding, we sort out the date, venue and first wishes, and then comes a quote tailored to you.
Access to your personal wedding portal, a web app for favourite songs, no-gos, schedule and special moments, comes with the booking. A week before the celebration we go through everything important by phone.
At least two hours before it starts, I am already there quietly setting up the system. After the soundcheck and a word with the celebrant or photographer, everything falls into place so that your guests never notice the technology.
I provide music for the entrance, the exchange of rings and the exit as atmosphere, not as an official act. At the drinks reception your guests chat to subtle lounge music, and if there is no power anywhere, the system runs on battery.
Background music creates the atmosphere during the meal, and a wireless microphone makes every speech easy to understand. For games, surprises and the bouquet toss too, I prepare the right musical setting.
The first dance plays to an edit that you choose. From then on I decide by feel and by the dance floor, adapt the set live and bring all generations together until the last song has played.
My services
Small gathering by the Inn or large party in the banquet hall: for your wedding in Passau, I shape the music live to suit your guests.
01Through our wedding portal, you bring music requests, no-gos and your schedule together in one place in advance, so no question is left unanswered on the big day. At the celebration, I adapt every transition to the mood; there's no rigid timetable. I've been lucky enough to accompany over 650 weddings musically, and for everything else you have exactly one point of contact from the inquiry to the last song. I bring the equipment myself, whether for a banquet hall, a hotel or a small party.

Your service package
Why do soul classics and current chart hits play side by side with me? Several generations often sit at the wedding table, and I keep your music in my own hands from first contact to the final song.
My set follows the mood in the room, I stay in the background, and I only go to the microphone for speeches and your program items.
Add-on
My LED uplights glow in your preferred color and change over the course of the evening to match the music.
Enquire →
Add-on
At your celebration, the photo booth runs on its own, provides its own digital gallery and prints pictures right away if you wish.
Enquire →
Recommendation
Feierblick collects your guests' photos without an app and is an external recommendation of mine; you book the service yourselves, independently of my offer.
View Feierblick →
My basic package consists of two wireless microphones, lighting equipment, a Denon or Pioneer controller and a PA system from Electro-Voice or RCF.
Add-on
Your guests leave greetings on the retro telephone, and after the celebration I turn the recordings into a finished audio file for you.
Enquire →I get back to you within a day, and the line to me stays open until the wedding day.
We discuss the music requests in the preliminary conversation, and afterwards I coordinate with your venue and other vendors.
Open Format
Whether seventies, nineties or current charts: I mix what you and your guests like; there's just no box for slips with spontaneous requests at my booth.
I'm on site about two hours before the start, set up calmly, test the sound and take everything away myself at the end.
Outdoor
For the entrance, ring exchange and exit of your ceremony, my system needs no power cable, because it runs entirely on battery.
I combine photo booth, live music, uplights and audio guest book into a package on request, and I take care of the related arrangements for you.
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 27Yes, because my system runs on battery, and your toast outdoors sounds good even where there's no power. I'll ask the venue myself whether I can set up outside, so you don't have to deal with it. When planning, I treat the outdoor reception and the indoor celebration as one continuous evening.
For the entrance, the ring exchange and the exit, the music runs on my battery, and no cable is needed. We'll pick out the pieces together beforehand so they fit your schedule. Whether a ceremony can take place at your chosen spot is best asked of the operator, because that's the venue's decision.
During the evening I pay attention to who is dancing and who prefers to stay seated, and align the next songs accordingly. With my edits I link decades and styles so the jump from schlager to the charts goes unnoticed. You tell me your must-play tracks and your no-gos beforehand.
Musicians from my network, for example with saxophone, vocals, percussion or violin, play live along with my mix on request. With me, the performance suits the sparkling wine reception, the ceremony or the opening dance. You decide in which moment it takes place in the preliminary conversation with me.
My standard package is designed for celebrations of up to around 100 guests, and with just 40 people it fits you exactly. A small room gets a leaner setup from me, because floor space and guest count matter more to me than the occasion. At my booth, a simple power outlet is all I need.
Sought-after Saturdays between May and September often go many months in advance with me, so get in touch as early as possible. On weekdays or outside the season, a lead time of three to six months is usually enough for me, though an earlier message is still welcome. If your date is already close, ask anyway, because I'll tell you honestly whether I still have time.

Sparkling wine reception · First dance
With saxophone sounds by the water, the drinks reception between the Danube and the Inn becomes a moment your guests will remember for a long time.

05
An evening without a break.
Live music for the reception or dinner, and then a full DJ night anyway?

Your planning in Passau begins with a short message: the date, venue and an impression of your guests are enough for me, and then we arrange a video call. In it, we discuss music, schedule and wishes with you, and shortly before the celebration we go through everything together once more.

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
Write to me about how you'd like to celebrate, and I'll build an evening with you where your guests fill the dance floor. Summer weekends are booked early with me, and an early inquiry makes planning easier for me.
How would you like to enquire?
Both are non-binding – you can add more details at any time.
