Wedding DJ Salzburg · Events since 2004
Your wedding DJ for Salzburg: dance music that carries from the sparkling wine reception to the very last song.
I am Michael Zimmermann, your DJ for the most beautiful day, and for your celebration in Salzburg I put together music that gets young and old onto the dance floor. My calendar counts over 1,450 events from more than 25 years, and more than 650 of them have been wedding celebrations since 2004. Whether in the garden, the hall or the parlour, I stay in the background, and the music speaks for you.
“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 the Salzburg area
The rooms and gardens around Salzburg differ greatly from one another, so for every wedding I first ask about room, guest count and schedule before I plan your setup. I present seven venues, from the castle hotel on the Mönchsberg to the country inn in Hallwang, and each card shows you what I pay attention to during setup.
The Hohensalzburg Fortress towers above the old town, and at your wedding I take this festive picture as the setting for my music. You can choose between a castle hotel on the Mönchsberg, castle rooms, inns in the neighbouring municipalities and a brewery in the city.
If you imagine a large hall, I equip differently than for a parlour with few guests, and for that I first ask you about the room and the number of people. If you choose a theme, we think together about which songs fit and which must never be played. Two hours before your guests arrive, I am already in the room, setting everything up and testing the sound, so that everything is in place by the first glass of sparkling wine.
The Hotel Schloss Mönchstein lists weddings and corporate events as occasions. According to the operator, a symbolic wedding ceremony is possible in the Villa Haerdtl garden, where you marry under the open sky, and the Mönchstein Hall holds up to 100 people. If you have both garden and hall in mind, I plan my system so that the music connects both places.
The Schlosswirt zu Anif, a venue in the vicinity of the city, lists weddings and Christmas parties as occasions. According to the operator, the Biedermeier Hall holds up to 90 guests, wedding parties of more than 90 guests are possible because the rooms can be connected, and the garden offers space for a symbolic wedding ceremony. Whether you hold the ceremony in the garden or only celebrate in the hall decides my setup and where my system goes.
The Landgasthof Kirchbichl in Hallwang, in the vicinity of the city, lists weddings alongside birthdays, anniversaries and company parties as occasions. According to the operator, the conservatory offers up to 140 seats, and a symbolic wedding ceremony is possible on request. With your guest count in mind, I clarify with you beforehand where my speakers go in the conservatory.
The Kavalierhaus Klessheim in Wals-Siezenheim, in the vicinity of the city, lists weddings as an occasion alongside company parties, anniversaries and Christmas parties. According to the operator, five rooms on 540 square metres offer space for up to 300 people. With this range of options, I discuss with you early on in which room the music should play and how much equipment is needed for it.
Schloss Hellbrunn lists weddings, milestone birthdays, wedding anniversaries and company parties as occasions. According to the operator, parlours and festive halls offer space for up to 250 people. Because parlours and halls vary in size, I arrange speakers and booth according to your guest count and your schedule.
The Stiegl-Brauwelt lists weddings, company parties and gala dinners as occasions. According to the operator, the Bräustüberl has room for a maximum of 200 people, and the brewing vault holds 500. Whether you choose the parlour or the vault determines how much equipment I set up for it.
The Grünauerhof in Wals, in the vicinity of the city, lists weddings, milestone birthdays, company parties and Christmas parties as occasions. According to the operator, the Untersbergstube holds up to 80 people. For a parlour of this size I deliberately set up compactly and keep my equipment in the background.
Rooms, capacities and occasions come from the venues' own publications, as of October 2026. Before booking, please have the respective operator confirm the date and the room.
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.
If you would like a symbolic wedding ceremony, three venues in and around Salzburg list this option, namely the Hotel Schloss Mönchstein in the Villa Haerdtl garden, the Schlosswirt zu Anif in the garden and the Landgasthof Kirchbichl on request. For the music at your ceremony, I sit down with you beforehand.
Who I am
Salzburg bears the nickname Mozart City, and you are choosing to celebrate in a city where music is part of its history. My own path to music began in 1998 in a club. There I learned to listen to people before choosing the next song. Since 2004 I have been playing private and corporate celebrations, including over 650 weddings, more than 1,450 events in total.
I stay in the background, the music does the talking, and the family should be at the centre at your wedding. With self-made edits I bring together tracks from very different eras, so the dance floor stays full and the evening remains a lovely moment for you.
How it works
Just write me a short message, I will get back to you within a day, and in the video call we plan everything together up to your opening dance. Read the whole process →
Request a dateAs soon as your preferred date reaches me, I reply quickly, after 24 hours at the latest. We then chat without obligation in a video call about the date, venue and your ideas, and afterwards you receive a quote that really fits.
From the booking onwards, the wedding portal guides you through the planning: there you enter favourite songs, no-gos, schedule and special moments. A week beforehand I pick up the phone and we go through everything together.
The equipment is in place early: from two hours before the start I set everything up, check the sound and coordinate with the photographer and the ceremony speaker. Once the guests arrive, everything runs invisibly.
Atmosphere instead of official act: I give the entrance, exchange of rings and exit fitting music. Quiet lounge music plays at the drinks reception for chatting, and outdoors without power battery operation provides the sound.
Meal, speeches, games, surprises, bouquet toss: I have the right music ready for all of it. Atmospheric in the background at dinner, with a wireless microphone for speeches, and with the right entrance for every act.
Your edit for the first dance sets the opening. After that I read the dance floor, change the set live according to the mood and keep all generations moving together until the last song.
My services
A few guests in the garden or the whole family in the hall: for your wedding in Salzburg, I tailor music and equipment to your group.
01Through our wedding portal you collect music requests, taboo songs and the schedule of your day before the celebration, so your evening can start without open questions. During the celebration I do not follow a rigid plan but adapt every transition to your guests. I have shaped the music for more than 650 weddings, and from the enquiry to the final song you have just one single contact person with me. All my equipment travels with me, whether your celebration takes place in a castle hall, an inn or a brewery.

02Safeguard If I am unable to attend due to illness, a colleague from my network who is my musical equal steps in for me, and your agreements remain valid unchanged.

Your service package
With me, soul and chart hits play in the same set, because grandparents and grandchildren often sit together at your wedding table. That is why I keep your music in my own hands from the first contact to the final song.
I decide spontaneously, based on the mood in the room, what plays next, stay discreetly in the background and pick up the microphone only for your speeches and programme items.
Add-on
Your chosen colour glows from my LED uplights, and over the course of the evening the lighting changes to match the music.
Enquire →
Add-on
My photo station needs no operator at your celebration, collects all the pictures in an online gallery and, on request, gives your guests printed copies immediately.
Enquire →
Recommendation
With Feierblick, an external recommendation from me, you collect your guests' phone photos without an app; this is booked separately from my offer.
View Feierblick →
My setup includes two wireless microphones, lighting, a DJ controller from Denon or Pioneer and speakers from the brands Electro-Voice or RCF.
Add-on
At the retro telephone your guests leave their greetings, and after the celebration I turn the recordings into a single audio file for you.
Enquire →You will receive my reply to your enquiry within 24 hours, and after that you can reach me at any time until the wedding.
We discuss wishes and no-gos with you beforehand, and afterwards I sort out everything necessary with the venue and your other service providers.
Open Format
My mix ranges from seventies disco through nineties hits to current charts, and I do not collect slips of paper with spontaneous requests during your celebration.
About two hours before it starts, I am at the booth with you, set everything up calmly, check the sound and dismantle everything myself after the celebration.
Outdoor
At your symbolic wedding ceremony, the entrance, ring exchange and exit come from my system, which thanks to its battery needs no cables at all.
You can put together photo station, live musicians, uplights or audio guest book as a package with me, and the arrangements then run through me.

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 27That works because my system is powered by a battery and needs no socket outdoors. Whether I may set up in the garden, I clarify with the venue beforehand, so I spare you that phone call. I turn garden and hall into one continuous evening in which the music does not fall silent at any door.
I bring the music for the entrance, the ring exchange and the exit, and my system runs without cables. We choose the fitting pieces together with you before the date. Whether symbolic wedding ceremonies take place at your venue, you can find out directly from the operator.
I keep an eye on your guests throughout the evening, see who is dancing and who prefers to sit, and base my song choice on that. Thanks to my own edits, German schlager, rock and current hits flow into one another without a hard cut. You can best tell me your must-play songs and taboos in advance.
You do not need a whole band for that: from my network I arrange a saxophonist, a singer, a violinist or percussion. The musician plays live over my mix, which suits the toast just as well as your grand entrance. When the performance should take place, you decide together with me in the preliminary conversation.
Especially in a manageable group a DJ pays off, because I tailor the music to each one of your guests. How big my setup gets depends on your room and the number of your guests, not on the occasion. I only need a normal power socket at the booth, and you do not need to provide anything more.
I often book sought-after summer Saturdays well over a year in advance, so it is better to contact me early. If your date does not fall on a sought-after Saturday, a lead time of three to six months is usually enough for me. If you get in touch late, I will still tell you right away whether your date is still available.
Listen & Watch
Even more options
I bring a saxophonist, a singer, percussion or a violinist for your wedding directly from my network. Whether the performance already adorns the sparkling wine reception or only your opening dance, you decide in good time before the celebration.
01
Sparkling wine reception · First dance
A baroque setting and a saxophone complement each other surprisingly well, as the warm tone breaks up the strictness and makes the drinks reception relaxed.
02
Party peak · energy on the dance floor
Percussion brings dynamism to the country inn hall, and when drums and beat merge, even those who would otherwise stay at the table join in dancing.
03
Entrance · special moments
In a city of festivals and music, a live voice fits perfectly and turns your opening dance into a small gala evening.
04
Ceremony · bride's entrance
With Mozart in the air, a violin at the entrance or dinner feels completely natural and gives the evening festive elegance.
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
Feel free to write to me, I am looking forward to your evening where there will be dancing until the end. Sought-after summer dates are booked long in advance with me, so an early message is worthwhile; outside the season, three to six months are often enough.
