Michael Zimmermann at the DJ booth, DJ for Wuppertal

DJ Wuppertal · Districts and Bergisches Land

From the Schwebebahn to the hills: music that suits your celebration in the valley.

Whether Elberfeld, Barmen or Cronenberg, Solingen or Remscheid: I am Michael Zimmermann, and I mix what works for your guests. In a city where the Schwebebahn suspension railway has run above the Wupper since 1901 and many streets climb steeply up the hillside, celebrations in villas, halls and large venues are as different as the districts. We talk through how the evening will be built beforehand, by phone or in a video call.

Occasions

What are you celebrating in Wuppertal?

Three pages for three kinds of celebration: pick the card that fits your event in Wuppertal or the Bergisches Land.

Wedding

Wedding DJ Wuppertal

Sparkling wine reception in the park, dinner in the hall and dancing late into the night: the music carries your day from the first hour to the last.

Company party

Corporate Event DJ Wuppertal

Company party, anniversary or Christmas party: a mix that supports conversation and then fills the dance floor.

Birthday

Birthday DJ Wuppertal

From a thirtieth in the trendy neighbourhood to a seventieth with the family: the music follows your guests and your taste.

Around Wuppertal

Schwebebahn, valleys and hillsides.

The Wupper flows for about 20 kilometres through Wuppertal, and the Schwebebahn has run above it since 1901, with 20 stations. Around 357,000 people live here, spread across ten city districts with 69 neighbourhoods, from the Gründerzeit quarters in Elberfeld to the heights of Cronenberg.

Whether you celebrate in the valley, in a neighbourhood like the Luisenviertel or on the Ölberg, or in a neighbouring town such as Solingen, Remscheid and Hagen, makes no difference to me. Velbert, Haan and Schwelm are also among the places where I play for you.

About me

Behind the booth for every celebration.

I learned to DJ in a nightclub, and ever since, what matters most to me is whether the music suits the people in the room. More than 1450 events have come out of it, over 650 of them weddings, plus company evenings and birthdays from the living room to the grand hall.

My work is reflected in 60 Google reviews with an average of 5.0 stars. Before I touch a playlist, I want to know who is coming, how old the guests are and what the evening should mean to you.

At the DJ Allianz e.V. I run workshops on transitions and on reading the dance floor. That helps in a city where a party in the Luisenviertel sounds different from one on the heights of Ronsdorf.

Services

Everything included.

Sound and lighting for rooms of up to about 150 guests, wireless microphones for speeches and backup equipment come to every party. On request I add uplights, a photo booth, an audio guest book or live music to the DJ set. We discuss the schedule and music calmly beforehand, so that nothing is left open on the day itself.

What is included in your performance as a DJ in Wuppertal?

I bring the sound system, lighting and wireless microphones myself and take care of setup and soundcheck. We talk through the music together beforehand, and I read the flow of the evening from the dance floor.

Where around Wuppertal do I play?

In all ten city districts and in towns such as Solingen, Remscheid, Hagen, Velbert and Schwelm. Tell me where your celebration is, and I will let you know whether I am still free that day.

The date is set, but nothing is booked yet: How soon should we write?

It is best to write to me right away, because popular Saturdays are the first to go. Within 24 hours you will get my answer on whether your date is still free.

Our group is a mix of young and old: What music will be played then?

I mix soul, pop, rock, disco and current chart hits according to how your guests respond. Anything you definitely do not want to hear, you tell me beforehand.

Our hall is on a slope, and the way there leads up stairs: Can the equipment still get in?

My standard system is compact, setup takes a good 40 minutes and needs about 2.5 by 1.5 metres. We clarify stairs, lift and the route to the dance floor beforehand, and photos or a short description help me with that.

What happens after my enquiry?

You will receive my reply within 24 hours. In a no-obligation video call we get to know each other, and after that you get a personal quote.

Is your date already set?

Then enquire right away, before another couple or team books the same Saturday.

Even more options

DJ+ – live musicians right in the middle of my mix.

If you want more than a DJ set, you can add live musicians from my network. They come in between the tracks and adapt to the flow of the event, whether the celebration takes place in the villa on the hillside or in the hall down in the valley. We decide together which line-up suits you.

Reception · Opening dance

DJ + saxophone

A saxophone over mellow beats adds warmth to the reception and turns the opening dance into a small performance.

Singer with a microphone in backlight 02

Entrance · Surprise

DJ + vocals

A voice accompanies the entrance into the hall or surprises the birthday guest of honour exactly when nobody expects it.

Percussionist on congas in backlight 03

Late evening · Dance floor

DJ + percussion

Drums and rhythm instruments give the evening a boost as soon as everyone is meant to get moving after dinner.

Violinist in warm backlight 04

Standing reception · Festive dinner

DJ + violin

The violin accompanies the standing reception or the banquet and lends the evening a touch of splendour, whether in the hall, the foyer or the garden.
