Mobile DJ for Berlin-Tegel
An ideal DJ for an event in Tegel 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.
Who I am
My name is Jens-Peter Weismantel. I first started gaining experience as a DJ back in 1992, and later spent many years as a radio DJ in web radio. Since 2015 I have been self-employed under the name Mobiler Musikservice, providing music for celebrations where the soundtrack should not merely run in the background, but genuinely fit the occasion.
What matters to me is that a celebration should not follow some standard pattern that could simply be thrown over any group of guests. Every person is different, so every evening may look different as well. What do you want for your event? That is the question worth discussing properly, rather than relying on ready-made concepts.
When to enquire
The most sensible time to enquire is as soon as your venue in Tegel 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.
Summer is here and the dance floors are full. If you are still planning a celebration now, you should act quickly. Available Saturdays for weddings, birthdays and parties up to the end of September are becoming fewer by the day.
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 Tegel, 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.
➥ Weddings
Weddings are usually celebrated with family, friends and colleagues. Even so, there is a separate section for them here, because a wedding plays in a very different league.

Still looking puzzled? Good. That small bit of confusion was intentional. Just like at any other celebration, planning mistakes can damage a party or even kill it completely. The same goes for guests who crash the timetable with their “wonderful and unique surprise”. The difference is that mistakes at an ordinary private party can be corrected next time. At weddings they cannot, because ideally you only celebrate them once.
Weddings may not be unique to me, but each one is special, and my pre-event nerves make that clear enough. I prepare weddings more thoroughly than any other kind of event. The final planning meeting with my couples ideally takes place at the venue. Coordination with toastmasters or witnesses is part of that too, because they can make or break a wedding evening just as much. Ongoing communication on the wedding day itself also helps prevent awkward disruptions and contributes to a particularly beautiful overall experience.
Anyone looking for a wedding DJ has usually already answered the biggest question about the celebration: the right venue. Often it is already booked, sometimes there is still a shortlist with two or three beautiful places nearby. SeePavillon on Lake Tegel may well be one of them. In any case, The borough of Reinickendorf offers plenty of options, and it is wise to enquire about the DJ as soon as the venue becomes more concrete.
Berlin loves differently – how wedding couples celebrate in truly distinctive venues
Whether born-and-bred Berliners or recent converts to big-city life, people marrying in Berlin usually want the city’s spirit to be part of the wedding too. Somewhere between graffiti, Gründerzeit façades and pockets of urban green, couples look for something that feels unmistakably Berlin: genuine, creative and just a little different.
Berlin couples increasingly avoid standard function rooms. They are drawn instead to venues with a story and a sense of urban identity – old villas on the edge of the city, hidden garden restaurants and places where city life and nature meet in a surprisingly graceful way.
More and more couples are also moving away from the classic fairy-tale wedding. Industrial-style locations are especially popular: concrete, brick, history and atmosphere. Former factories, warehouses and depot buildings provide exactly the kind of backdrop modern romance can work with.
➥ 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.
➥ Company celebrations
Celebrating with staff, clients or business partners is rarely a bad idea. The only thing worth avoiding is an evening that feels like an extended team meeting with finger food.
Celebrating with staff, clients or business partners is rarely a bad idea. The only thing worth avoiding is an evening that feels like an extended team meeting with finger food.
At company parties, the difference often lies in the tone. Too stiff quickly feels forced, too relaxed can tip the wrong way if nobody guides the event properly. That is why it helps when music, announcements and technical setup do not stumble along separately but work together. Then a reception can feel pleasantly supported while still allowing a later transition into a genuine after-work celebration in the best sense of the word.
That is exactly what I am bookable for: during the week, during the day, in the evening or sometimes at times when others have already finished work. Whether it is a Christmas party, summer event, company anniversary or presentation in Tegel, I provide clear sound, microphones for speeches and a musical direction that suits the occasion without turning the whole thing into embarrassing permanent animation.
➥ Karaoke
Karaoke – or if you like カラオケ – is exactly the sort of party fun where harmless excitement suddenly turns into a deeply committed version of “I know the chorus!”.

Especially at relaxed celebrations, not every minute needs to be tightly choreographed. Sometimes all it takes is a microphone, the right song and one guest who can either sing surprisingly well or with excellent confidence do the exact opposite. In both cases, entertainment is guaranteed.
The karaoke package includes around 300 songs from evergreen classics to newer chart material, two wireless microphones, a monitor on a stand for the lyrics, playback through my DJ sound system and of course title lists so that people do not have to spend ten minutes debating what can actually be sung.
You can find the current price for adding the karaoke package to your party in Tegel here: 69,00 EUR.
One important point, though: this is an add-on to your DJ event. The karaoke package cannot be booked on its own and it is not a rental toaster for the weekend either.
