How does a wedding DJ accompany your day on Lanzarote?

I accompany your wedding from the ceremony or the reception to the last song, and every part of the day gets its own sound: solemn for the ceremony, relaxed for the reception and dinner, emotional for the first dance, then club feeling on the dance floor. How long I play is up to you.

  1. Celebrant-led ceremony (optional): music for the entrance, the exchange of rings and the exit, matched to your ceremony.
  2. Sunset reception: lounge sounds and your favourite songs while the sun disappears behind the volcanoes. The most beautiful moment for a live saxophonist.
  3. Dinner: music that carries without intruding. Your guests can talk, and the mood still rises.
  4. First dance: your song, at exactly the right moment. Afterwards I bring everyone straight onto the dance floor.
  5. Party: house, charts, hip-hop, Latin and party classics, mixed live. Your top 20 are in, your no-gos are out, and I work guests' requests in where they fit.
  6. Last song: we choose it together beforehand, so the evening ends exactly the way you picture it.

Destination wedding on Lanzarote

How do you plan the music from afar?

Very relaxed, by video call. Even if you only arrive a few days before the wedding, we sort out the timeline, music and equipment online beforehand, in English or German. I coordinate directly with your venue and your wedding planner so you don't have to worry about a thing.
Guests coming from several countries? Then I blend German party classics, British and Irish favourites, Latin and international hits so that everyone finds themselves on the dance floor. I bring experience with international crowds from weddings and events in Germany, France, Spain and Italy.

Which wedding venues on Lanzarote do you play?

Any that suits you: a finca in the island's interior, a bodega in La Geria, a hotel in Playa Blanca or Puerto del Carmen, a villa with sea views or an open-air venue. I come with my own DJ setup and organise professional sound and lighting to suit the venue and the number of guests.

Outdoor weddings and the trade wind

Celebrating outdoors is simply part of Lanzarote, and so is the trade wind. That's why I settle with the venue and the technical partner beforehand where the DJ setup stands, how the power runs and how the equipment is protected. Whether and when the music has to turn down outside is for the venue to decide. We agree on that in good time so the party can carry on indoors if need be.

For wedding planners and venues on Lanzarote

With me you get a DJ who keeps to your schedule and takes care of the details himself. I coordinate equipment, set-up and volume directly with you, in English or German, by WhatsApp or e-mail. From the enquiry to the last song I am personally your point of contact. In my Google reviews couples praise communication and reliability, among other things. I look forward to new partnerships here on the island.

Your wedding with DJ and live saxophonist 🎷

At the champagne reception the saxophonist plays live over my lounge sounds, and later on the dance floor he joins in on house and party classics. I work with saxophonists here on Lanzarote and can fly in colleagues on request.

Frequently asked questions about your wedding DJ on Lanzarote

How early should we book you for our wedding?
Ideally 6 to 18 months ahead, best as soon as the date and venue are fixed. Popular dates go quickly, and I play only one wedding per day. Just send me your date and within 24 hours you'll know whether it's still free.
How long do you play at a wedding?
As long as fits your day. Some couples book me from the ceremony, others from the reception or just for the party. 6, 8 or 10 hours are common, for example. Whether the celebration might run longer is best settled in advance.
Do you also host at the wedding?
On the microphone I deliberately keep it short: welcome, programme points and special moments like the first dance. That works in English, German or Danish. The music is the focus, and for speeches and games you and your guests are the best hosts. I'm still learning Spanish – not enough for the microphone yet. On the dance floor, though, we all understand each other.
Is there music you don't play?
My sound is open format with club roots: house, charts, hip-hop, Latin and party classics. German Schlager and Ballermann party hits are not my focus. Whatever you definitely don't want to hear goes on your no-go list beforehand, and I stick to it.
Do you also play weddings on La Graciosa or Fuerteventura?
Gladly. Both islands are easy to reach by ferry, Gran Canaria and Tenerife by plane as well. Travel and accommodation costs and the extra travel time are itemised transparently in the quote. I coordinate the equipment with your venue on site beforehand.
Do you also play same-sex weddings?
Of course – every couple is welcome with me. Two brides, two grooms or bride and groom: I tune in to your story and your music, not to a template.
