Mobile DJ for Berlin-Reinickendorf
An ideal DJ for an event in Reinickendorf should be someone you would not only book, but someone you could genuinely imagine as a guest at your own celebration. So no forced showmanship, no awkward permanent grin on command, and no microphone work that makes the champagne reception quietly give up and leave.
What you will find here instead is a mobile DJ who believes in personal planning, suitable sound and lighting, and one clear goal: your celebration should not feel interchangeable. The evening should fit you – not some ready-made concept from the drawer labelled “it will probably do somehow”.
What the evening is really about
Most enquiries are not about some abstract “event” at all, but about very specific celebrations: weddings, birthdays, family parties, club events or perhaps a summer gathering where people want more than just standing around politely with a drink in hand.
That is exactly why the first conversation should not be about playlists, but about the occasion itself. Depending on who is celebrating, what is being celebrated and how the evening is meant to feel, the result will either come together nicely – or simply end up being a date with speakers.
A few words about me
My name is Jens-Peter Weismantel, and I did not suddenly discover yesterday that music and loudspeakers might make a business model. I have been DJing since 1992, later spent about ten years in web radio, and in 2015 I made the move into self-employment and have been working under my own name ever since.
What interests me far more than any artificial DJ show is how an evening needs to fit the people who are celebrating. I am not a fan of treating every event with exactly the same concept. If you already know clearly what you want, great. If you only have a rough direction in mind so far, that is perfectly fine as well. The rest can be worked out together.
When to enquire
The most sensible time to enquire is as soon as your venue in Reinickendorf is confirmed. During the main season from May to September, a lead time of roughly 6 to 12 months is a good guide. Outside that season, 1 to 3 months is often enough. Enquiring earlier still never hurts – it merely saves you the frustration of hoping for a date that may already be gone.
The warmer months bring weddings, Jugendweihe celebrations, summer parties and birthday celebrations. The peak season starts in May. For celebrations in May and June, it is now high time to enquire; for events from July to September, you should not wait any longer either.
Frequently booked as DJ for:
➥ Family celebrations
A family celebration is not a club night and it is not a musical vending machine either. That is exactly what makes it interesting, because guests arrive with completely different expectations and should still end up celebrating together.

The classic occasion is of course a birthday, often a milestone one. But it can just as easily be a confirmation, coming of age, anniversary or simply a family gathering where people want something more than coffee and cake. For me that means looking closely, staying musically flexible and not pretending forty guests will automatically share the same three favourite songs.
Some people imagine the DJ’s job to be surprisingly simple: press a button, music plays, dance floor full. If only it worked that way, I could take a lot more breaks. Especially at private celebrations, the real work lies in bringing together very different guests musically without the evening falling apart.
In Reinickendorf, that is no different from anywhere else. There too, people with very different ideas of party music sit around one table, and in the end as many of them as possible should feel that the evening suited them properly.
➥ Wedding celebrations
A wedding is also just a private celebration with family and friends. And no, it absolutely is not. Because unlike almost any other party, you do not want to end the night thinking it could all have been better with a little more planning.

What I mean by that slightly confusing opening is simple: weddings demand even more care than an ordinary family celebration. Quite rightly, couples aim for a very high level of perfection, because unlike a birthday party that went slightly wrong, you cannot just say, “We will do it better next year.” This day is meant to be uniquely beautiful.
That is exactly why every wedding is something special to me as a DJ. I prefer to prepare weddings together with the couple in a personal meeting at the venue itself. In that final conversation we go through every highlight of the celebration so as little as possible is left to chance and typical planning mistakes can be avoided. I also speak with the person taking on the role of toastmaster so that guests planning surprises get the support they need as well.
By the time a couple starts looking for a DJ, the venue is often already fixed or at least very clearly taking shape. Maybe you have already made your choice, maybe you are still comparing two or three favourites nearby. Tegeler Seeterrassen might already be part of that picture as well. One way or another, The borough of Reinickendorf offers enough possibilities, and when date and venue are slowly becoming firm, it is worth not waiting too long with the DJ enquiry.
Weddings in Berlin – between tradition and dream venues
Getting married in Berlin means saying yes in the middle of real life. Between clubs, courtyards and lakeside landscapes, couples discover their own mixture of romance and capital-city spirit – often unconventional, but always with character.
Anyone marrying in Berlin is rarely looking for conference-hotel energy. Many couples prefer places where city life and nature do not cancel each other out: a waterside garden venue, a converted loft or a location that feels unmistakably Berlin without trying too hard.
Rustic, urban and just slightly wild – that is the direction many Berlin couples now take. Industrial buildings, old breweries and loft-style spaces are especially popular, because they offer something many traditional venues no longer do: a genuine sense of place.
➥ Emergency DJ
Your booked DJ has cancelled at short notice and excitement has turned into frantic phone calls? That is exactly what my emergency DJ service is for. Not as a miracle cure for every disaster, but as an honest chance to stop your celebration from crashing into the wall musically.
Your booked DJ has cancelled at short notice and excitement has turned into frantic phone calls? That is exactly what my emergency DJ service is for. Not as a miracle cure for every disaster, but as an honest chance to stop your celebration from crashing into the wall musically.
For me, emergency DJ service applies to all enquiries received less than 72 hours before music start time and to all bookings confirmed less than 48 hours before music start time. At that point there is no longer any room for the usual preparation with wish lists, fine tuning and a comfortable lead-up. Then the goal is simply to bring structure, music and atmosphere back into the evening at all.
So you do not have to guess the rough price range in the middle of that stress, you will find a pricing example here. And just so there is no misunderstanding: I can handle more than tiny emergencies. I can also provide larger emergency events for indoor spaces with up to around 250 guests. If you need more equipment, please also take a look at My Prices.
What I bring is not magic dust, but experience, equipment and a very large music library. What no longer works at this stage is a finely prepared content plan. No long wish list, no twenty-point no-go catalogue and no last-minute shopping trip for obscure personal favourites. In an emergency, people dance to what I already have properly in my repertoire and can sensibly work into the evening.
If things are really burning, please call me first. If I cannot answer right away, do leave a voicemail with the location and the desired music start time. If you prefer writing, put “emergency” or “urgent” very clearly into the subject or occasion field. Otherwise your emergency can easily look like a normal enquiry, and in this case that would be less than ideal.
➥ Business events
New products, an open day or an event for sales teams, clients and partners do not need to disappear into dry conference air. A good framework helps to make sure people do not just show up, but actually like staying there.

That is exactly where a DJ can make sense for reasons other than partying. Music can create atmosphere without pushing itself to the front, smooth transitions and give a business event more life without making it feel like a disco. Then there is the technical side: clear speech for announcements, wireless microphones for moderation and a setup that still works properly if the official part later turns into something more sociable.
I accompany such events in a way that keeps them professional without making them sterile. And if people do want to celebrate after the presentation, reception or award ceremony, there is no need to reinvent half the setup. The technical side is already there and the direction can simply be turned further.
➥ Prom, graduation, finally done
When years of exams, tests, group projects and well-practised eye-rolling in the direction of the classroom finally come to an end, the celebration that follows may happily be more than just a pleasant dinner with obligatory smiling.
When years of exams, tests, group projects and well-practised eye-rolling in the direction of the classroom finally come to an end, the celebration that follows may happily be more than just a pleasant dinner with obligatory smiling.
That is exactly what makes proms and other graduation celebrations so special: they are expected to be several things at once. A little formal, a little emotional, a little reflective, and later on a proper party too. That works well when the running order and the technical side are prepared properly instead of being pushed together in a panic on the night itself.
I can support that with suitable sound for speeches, video clips or programme items, with wireless microphones and of course with music once the official part should finally make way for party mood. The evening may certainly become relaxed. It just should not wobble at the points that can easily be planned well beforehand.
And because your year group is not the only one trying to celebrate in late spring and early summer, here comes the slightly unromantic but important part: secure your date in good time. Around then, an astonishing number of people want to get married, celebrate or otherwise make noise.
