Your DJ right on your doorstep

Getting married in Giessen – with a DJ who is right at home here

Giessen is not just any city to me – this is where I live and work. When you get married in Giessen, you are not booking a DJ who has to google the area first, but one who knows the venues, the suppliers and the short distances of the city inside out. From your first enquiry to the very last song, I am with you in no time – for a personal get-together just as much as for a spontaneous tech check on site.

Musically I bring the experience of more than 500 events: packed dance floors in the club, emotional first dances at weddings, and corporate parties where generations celebrate side by side. I have accompanied countless celebrations in Giessen and know exactly how a lovely evening turns into a party your guests will talk about for a long time to come.

Short distances, full flexibility

My base is right in the heart of Giessen – for celebrations in the city and the surrounding district, travel costs are practically irrelevant. Whether the city centre, Wieseck, Klein-Linden or the surrounding area towards Wetzlar, Lich and Grünberg: I am with you within minutes and can plan the set-up and sound check in a completely relaxed way.

Your evening, chapter by chapter

This is how your wedding in Giessen feels

A wedding is not an appointment, it is a feeling. From the first glass of sparkling wine to the very last song, I accompany you through every moment – with music that tells your story.

The reception

Arriving & toasting

Champagne glasses clinking, the first embraces, tears of joy from grandma – all to music that sounds like a warm summer evening and leaves room for conversation.

The dinner

Savouring & sharing stories

Candlelight, the ring of glasses, the best man’s first speech. I accompany the evening discreetly in the background – and am on hand whenever the microphone is needed.

The first dance

Your moment

All eyes on you, your song, goosebumps throughout the hall. We plan this moment down to the last detail in advance – so it feels exactly the way you dreamed it.

The party

Dancing until morning

Now the beats belong to you: hands in the air, shoes in the corner, generations arm in arm. I read the dance floor and only stop when you do.

Wir hatten Raphael als DJ für unsere Party gebucht - und was sollen wir sagen: Absolute Empfehlung! Die Stimmung war von Anfang bis Ende großartig, was zu einem riesigen Teil an seiner Musikauswahl und seinem Gespür für die Gäste lag. Besonders beeindruckt waren wir davon, wie flexibel Raphael auf Liedwünsche eingegangen ist - völlig unkompliziert und immer passend zum Vibe des Abends. Auch die Übergänge zwischen den Songs waren richtig gut und haben den Flow auf der Tanzfläche nie abreißen lassen. Man merkt sofort, dass er sein Handwerk versteht und mit Herzblut dabei ist. Danke für diesen unvergesslichen Abend!

Venue tips

Celebrating in Giessen & the surrounding area

Who killed the Pig Giessen

Former slaughterhouse in Giessen (Hesse)

For a few years now it has been considered the venue in Giessen: lovingly and elaborately renovated, yet keeping its old charm, the former slaughterhouse adds one more highlight to the nightlife of Central Hesse. Weddings, corporate events, public events – everything is possible there, and I regularly play there.

Getting married in Giessen

Ceremony venues & celebration areas in Giessen

As a DJ who lives in Giessen, I know the places where people get married and celebrate here – a little overview for your planning.

Registry office & ceremony venues

For your civil ceremony you marry right in the heart of the city at the Giessen registry office. For free ceremonies, the Botanical Garden – one of the oldest in Germany –, the Lahn meadows and Schiffenberg Monastery high above the rooftops of the city are popular backdrops. Schiffenberg in particular combines history, greenery and sweeping views like hardly any other spot around Giessen.

Celebrating in the city & surrounding area

People love to celebrate in the old slaughterhouse – the Who killed the Pig –, in the hotels and halls of the city centre or in barns and country estates in the surrounding area towards Lich, Grünberg and Wetzlar. I have played many of these rooms and know their acoustic quirks – from vaulted cellars to industrial halls.

Short distances on your wedding day

Registry office, photo spot, celebration venue – in Giessen everything is close together. That takes the pressure off your schedule and leaves room for spontaneous moments. I set up early, run the sound check before your guests arrive and, if you like, take care of the music for the drinks reception too.

Music & style

This is how your wedding in Giessen sounds

Weddings in Giessen are wonderfully mixed: a university town meets a family celebration, best friends meet grandparents. That is exactly what I play for – with music that connects everyone instead of leaving anyone out.

Club experience for your celebration

From countless nights at Who killed the Pig and the clubs of the city, I know how to build a dance floor and keep it full. I bring that energy to your wedding – with transitions that flow instead of stumble.

University town meets family celebration

In Giessen fellow students dance next to grandparents: I mix charts, 2000s, rock and classics so that both worlds celebrate the same party – everyone finds their song, no one leaves the floor.

Your wishes, your evening

In our preliminary talk – ideally in person over a coffee in Giessen – we gather your favourite songs and your no-gos. I weave in your guests’ requests so that they suit the moment; your taboos stay taboo.

The first dance, tailor-made

Song, version, length, transition into the party: we plan your first dance down to the last detail. On request I edit a custom version for you – and because I live around the corner, we can test it together on site if need be.

It’s that easy

Good to know

Frequently asked questions about the wedding DJ in Giessen

How much does a wedding DJ in Giessen cost?
Since I live right in the centre of Giessen, there are practically no travel costs for celebrations in the city and the district. The total price depends on the duration, the amount of equipment and extras such as lighting design – after a short get-together you receive a transparent fixed-price offer from me, with no hidden costs.
Can we meet you in person before booking?
Absolutely – that is even important to me! In Giessen we simply meet up for a coffee or straight at your venue. Alternatively a video call works too. You should know in advance who will be behind the decks on the most important day of your life.
Do you know the wedding venues in and around Giessen?
Yes – I have played venues like Who killed the Pig in the old slaughterhouse many times and know the technology, acoustics and contacts there personally. I am also regularly out and about in the surrounding area towards Wetzlar, Lich and Grünberg. If I don’t know your venue yet, I visit it beforehand.
Do you bring your own sound and lighting equipment?
Yes, I bring professional sound and lighting equipment that suits the size of your venue – from an intimate vaulted cellar to a large event hall. If your venue already has equipment, I check in advance whether it is sufficient and only add what is genuinely missing.
How far in advance should we book you for our wedding in Giessen?
Popular dates between May and September are often booked a year in advance. As soon as your date and venue are set, a non-binding enquiry is worthwhile – then I reserve the date for you and we can get to know each other at our leisure.
Do you also play song requests from our guests?
Gladly – for me, song requests are part of a great wedding party. I weave them in so that they fit the moment and keep the dance floor full. We discuss your no-gos and favourite songs beforehand, so the evening sounds 100 % like you.
How long does your set-up take at our venue?
Depending on the amount of equipment, I plan for 60 to 120 minutes – including a sound check before your guests arrive. As I live in Giessen, I am very flexible with timing and can even do an additional tech check at your venue at short notice.
Do you also accompany our free ceremony and the drinks reception?
With pleasure. For ceremonies in the Botanical Garden, on Schiffenberg or by the Lahn I bring discreet, battery-powered equipment – for the entrance, the exchange of rings and the recessional with goosebumps. After that it flows seamlessly into the drinks reception, dinner and party.
Do you also play birthdays and corporate events in Giessen?
Yes – besides weddings I also accompany corporate events, milestone birthdays and private celebrations in and around Giessen. The experience from over 500 events pays off at the end of every party, whatever the occasion.
