Wedding – DJ Kowi

Event DJ for your company party or corporate event

A company party has a different crowd from any wedding: colleagues who know each other from the office, several generations, often customers and partners too. I've played around 150 company events, from staff parties to corporate events with international guests, for clients including Netflix, IKEA, Thyssenkrupp, Aramark, Kaufland, Deichmann, Bauhaus and Swisslog. My job: music that allows conversation, carries the programme and gets everyone onto the dance floor in the end.

Companies I have played for

  • Netflix
  • IKEA
  • Thyssenkrupp
  • Aramark
  • Mobilcom Debitel
  • Deichmann
  • Kaufland
  • Bauhaus
  • Swisslog
  • Stief Daylight
  • Pace by Axel Springer

Which company events do I play?

Staff parties, summer parties, Christmas parties, anniversaries, galas, kick-offs, trade fair parties and company events with international teams. On request I take care of more than the party: music for the reception, background music for dinner and sound for talks or awards.

How does a company evening go musically?

Discreet music on arrival that doesn't drown out conversation. A wireless microphone is ready for speeches, and on request I announce programme items briefly and with style. I'm not an entertainer-style DJ. After that I build the energy: first hits for everyone, later for those who dance the most. Because I mix live, I can react immediately if the schedule shifts.

What does an event DJ cost?

Packages start at €1,504 net with six hours of playing time, light and sound and a wireless microphone. Premium with ambient lighting and a guestbook phone is available from €2,008 net; I charge travel at €0.42 net per kilometre from Cologne. Events from Monday to Thursday are 30% cheaper from May to October, and up to 30% in winter. You get a written offer with a contract.

How secure is the booking for your company?

I have a replacement with me for every important piece of equipment. And should I ever be unable to play, an equivalent colleague from my network of over 25 DJs takes over, on the same terms.

How booking works for companies

  1. 1

    Request

    Date, venue, number of guests and occasion: that's all it takes to start.

  2. 2

    Coordination

    A free call by phone or video about the schedule, programme and music.

  3. 3

    Offer and contract

    You get an offer and sign the contract directly with me. A 30% deposit reserves your date.

  4. 4

    Fine-tuning

    One to two weeks before the event, we go through the schedule and any changes again.

  5. 5

    The event

    I'm there before your guests and stay until the end of the booked playing time; you can extend spontaneously. The balance follows after the event.

DJ plus live music

On request, saxophonist Max plays live over my DJ set, at the reception among the guests or as a highlight at the start of the party. Through Eventplanning24, with over 400 live musicians, I can also recommend percussion, singers or other live acts.

1 dot = a little 4 dots = very much

The dots show what I like playing most. At your event, though, what counts is what you and your guests enjoy: I always play your requests, your no-gos stay off, and while mixing live I read the dance floor. If a song doesn't land, I change it after the first chorus so the dance floor stays full. If you're looking for a pure schlager DJ or an entertainer on the microphone, I'm happy to recommend someone from my network, because I prefer to let the music do the talking. Just tell me in a free first call what you have in mind.

Insights into real weddings and events, with DJ and saxophone

Listen in: Beach House Set

From sundowner to peak time: Latin and Afro house, a short detour into minimal and later house classics. This is how it sounds at beach parties, sunset sessions and in clubs around the world.

I rarely play most of the songs from this set at weddings and private events. It's a sample for house fans and for anyone who wants to hear how I build transitions.

More about the Mixcloud player in the privacy policy (in German).

Venues

From industrial halls to hotel ballrooms: I've played on trade fair stands in Cologne, Düsseldorf, Essen, Dortmund, Frankfurt and Munich and at company parties all over North Rhine-Westphalia.

Ein unvergesslicher Abend mit erstklassiger musikalischer Begleitung!

Ein unvergesslicher Abend mit erstklassiger musikalischer Begleitung! Wir hatten das große Vergnügen, Herrn Kowohl und seinen Kollegen Max bei unserem Sommerfest als musikalische Begleitung zu erleben – und es war einfach fantastisch! Von Anfang bis Ende war die Performance auf höchstem Niveau, perfekt auf unser Publikum abgestimmt, abwechslungsreich, feinfühlig und mitreißend. Besonders beeindruckend war, wie sie es trotz der hohen Temperaturen geschafft haben, die Tanzfläche zu füllen und für großartige Stimmung zu sorgen. Die Zusammenarbeit war von Anfang an sehr angenehm und unkompliziert. Wir freuen uns schon jetzt auf zukünftige Events mit Herrn Kowohl und seinem Team! Vielen Dank für den rundum gelungenen Abend.

DJ KOWI hat unseren Messeauftritt musikalisch perfekt begleitet. Von der ersten Kontaktaufnahme bis zum Event war alles absolut professionell. Die Kommunikation war schnell und unkompliziert, er war pünktlich vor Ort und bestens vorbereitet. Besonders beeindruckt hat uns, wie flexibel er auf spontane Änderungen reagiert hat, selbst kurzfristige Anpassungen waren problemlos möglich. Vielen Dank für die großartige Unterstützung, wir können DJ KOWI uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Absolut empfehlenswert – toller DJ!

Absolut empfehlenswert – toller DJ! Wir haben Marcel über die Plattform Eventplanning24 für unsere Hochzeit gebucht und waren von Anfang bis Ende super zufrieden. Die Buchung und die gesamte Kommunikation liefen unkompliziert und zuverlässig über WhatsApp und E-Mail. Auch in der Vorbereitung hat Marcel sich viel Zeit genommen, uns kennenzulernen und herauszufinden, welche Musik und Stimmung zu uns und unserer Hochzeit passen. Auf der Hochzeit selbst hat er dann einfach einen klasse Job gemacht. Wir hatten ehrlich gesagt eine eher träge Hochzeitsgesellschaft und umso beeindruckender war es, dass Marcel es geschafft hat, die Stimmung immer wieder hochzuhalten und viele Gäste auf die Tanzfläche zu bekommen. Er ist auf Musikwünsche eingegangen und hatte ein super Gespür dafür, welche Musik gerade zur Stimmung und zu den Gästen passt. Die Tanzfläche war dadurch den ganzen Abend über gut besucht und unsere Gäste waren begeistert – genau das haben wir uns für unsere Hochzeit gewünscht. Wir würden Marcel jederzeit wieder als DJ buchen und können ihn absolut weiterempfehlen! Danke für den tollen Abend! 😊

Sommerparty mit bester Musik

Wir hatten Marcel/DJ Kowi als DJ auf unserer Hochzeit in Herten/NRW und waren höchstzufrieden! Die Musik war den ganzen Abend super und wir haben auch von den Gästen viel positives Feedback erhalten. Marcel hat eine entspannte und angenehme Art, aber ist dabei stets professionell und zuverlässig, was auch die Vorbereitung auf die Hochzeit mit einem super Gefühl für uns ablaufen ließ. Er hatte auch unsere individuellen Wünsche stets im Blick. Wir können Marcel nur weiterempfehlen!

Die beste Hochzeitsparty aller Zeiten

Wir haben Marcel als DJ für unsere Hochzeit gebucht, die am 30. August stattfand. Die Kommunikation war von Anfang an super transparent, nett und persönlich. Die Begleitung durch Marcel als DJ für unsere Party war wirklich einmalig. Nicht nur wir selbst, sondern auch jeder unserer Gäste war absolut begeistert von der ausgewählten Musik (entsprechend unserer Wünsche) und der dadurch entstandenen Stimmung. Danke Marcel - dank dir hatten wir eine einmalige Hochzeitsparty die bei allen in Erinnerung bleibt. :)

DJ Kowi - beste Wahl die man treffen kann!

Wir hatten DJ Kowi für unsere Hochzeit gebucht und hätten keine bessere Wahl treffen können! 🎶 Er hat die Stimmung perfekt gelesen, die Tanzfläche war immer voll und unsere Gäste haben uns mehrfach auf ihn angesprochen, weil er einfach für die richtige Musik zur richtigen Zeit gesorgt hat. Absolut empfehlenswert und sehr sympathisch – vielen Dank für diesen unvergesslichen Abend! Marcel war sehr professionell, immer erreichbar und hat bei der Planung und Vorbereitung unterstützen können. 😊

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with agencies?

Yes. I coordinate schedule, equipment and times directly with the agency, the venue and your organising team.

Are announcements in English possible?

Yes, I host in German, English and Polish. That's practical for international teams and corporate events with guests from several countries.

Can we add live saxophone?

Yes, saxophonist Max plays at the reception or live over the DJ set.

What does an event DJ cost for a company party?

Packages with six hours of playing time, light, sound and a wireless microphone start at €1,504 net, Premium with ambient lighting at €2,008 net; I charge travel at €0.42 net per kilometre from Cologne. From Monday to Thursday, dates between May and October are 30% cheaper, and in winter there's up to 30% off. You get a concrete offer for your date.

What formats can you be booked for?

For Christmas parties, summer parties, anniversaries, galas, kick-offs and conference evenings, trade fairs and after-work events, from a simple reception to a party.

Do you also play discreet background music for the reception and dinner?

Yes. On arrival and during the meal, the music leaves room for good conversation at the table. The party only starts when your programme says so.

How do you suit the taste of 25 to 65-year-olds at the same time?

At the start I play music all age groups know and change genre about every three to five songs. Later I follow those who dance the most. If a song doesn't land, I change it after the first chorus.

Do you bring a microphone and equipment for speeches?

Yes, a Sennheiser wireless microphone is always included, a second one for €33 net. On request I also take care of sound for talks.

How does booking work for companies?

You get an offer and sign the contract directly with me. A 30% deposit reserves your date; the rest is due after the event.

How short-notice can you be booked?

Feel free to ask at short notice. If I'm free, I can plan your party with little lead time. If I'm booked, I'll recommend a colleague from my network.

Send me your date, venue and number of guests and you'll get an offer soon.
