Your Expert for International Events & DJ Marriage Celebrations
Are you planning your wedding with great attention to detail, but feel a bit anxious about the music? When booking a professional DJ for marriages in Cologne or the NRW area, international couples often worry about a cultural mismatch—fearing local German party clichés, "Schlager", or regional tracks that none of their global guests will understand or enjoy. You want a dance floor where everyone feels included, no matter where they come in from.
My approach as an event and wedding DJ is completely different from the standard:
Global Vibes over Local Clichés: A selection of music that works worldwide. No awkward local party hits, just tracks that get an international crowd moving. And no "Schlager" – guaranteed!
Focus on Live Mixing: Seamless, hand-crafted transitions and a fine intuition for the crowd. No pre-made playlists, ever.
Zero Kitsch: A classy, subtle performance. No unrequested games, forced animations, or cheesy mic interventions—I let the music speak for itself.

WHAT MY INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS SAY:
"We chose Lucas to be the Dj for our wedding because we thought he had a good sense of music. As a mixed couple (Dutch and Colombian) we were worried about the party because of the difference in cultures and taste but Lucas did a fantastic job!He played a huge variety of music, from funk, disco to hip hop and salsa. Everyone dance, he knew how to read the crowd and keep us dancing the whole night. In the end, we had to extend the party until 4 am because people didn’t want to leave. We would recommend anyone to Lucas as DJ. Dance guaranteed 4 sure!"

Your Questions – My Answers:
Can you tell us more about yourself?
Can you tell us more about yourself?
I am DJ Luca Bertone. As an event manager and lifelong music lover, I spent many years organizing large-scale events and concerts behind the scenes. For over 15 years, I’ve been standing behind the decks myself as a professional DJ, keeping thousands of guests dancing through the night. Traveling and exploring music from all over the world are some of my biggest passions. That is exactly why I love the unique energy of international celebrations

What sets you apart as a wedding DJ in Cologne & NRW, and what kind of music do you play?
As a Cologne-based wedding DJ, I bring real groove to your celebration all across NRW. My sound is an energetic mix of the finest soul, funk, disco-pop, hip-hop, indie, and global music. Forget rigid, pre-made playlists: every single dj marriage celebration gets a handpicked soundtrack from me, designed to keep the energy on your dance floor alive until the early morning hours.
How does the music selection work – can we request specific songs?
How does the music selection work – can we request specific songs?
Your taste comes first! In detailed personal consultations before your wedding, we will align closely to get to know your musical preferences and your absolute no-gos. I will then organically blend your favorite tracks into a smooth, seamless live mix. This ensures the party vibe stays perfect throughout the entire night.
Our guests are from different parts of the world. Are you willing to play music from our home countries?
Our guests are from different parts of the world. Are you willing to play music from our home countries?
Absolutely! As a true music lover, I love discovering new sounds. I don’t just stick to standard radio charts; I am more than happy to deeply research and dive into the specific musical culture, traditional party anthems, or modern hits of your home country. Together, we will curate a vibe that makes all your international guests feel right at home on the dance floor.
Will our international guests have to listen to German "Schlager" or cheesy local party music?
Will our international guests have to listen to German "Schlager" or cheesy local party music?
Absolutely not. I give you a 100% guarantee: my mixes are completely international, modern, and curated to connect a global crowd. Traditional German "Schlager" or awkward local party hits stay completely off the playlist—unless you explicitly ask for them (for instance, if there is a specific track your German family members absolutely love). Otherwise, you can expect a sophisticated, high-energy soundtrack that everyone can vibe to, no matter where they are from.
Do you bring your own sound and lighting equipment to the venue?
Do you bring your own sound and lighting equipment to the venue?
I prefer to use the professional sound and lighting systems already built into your venue, as many modern locations here in the Cologne and NRW area are excellently equipped. If your chosen venue does not have high-end technical equipment, it is no problem at all: through my trusted network in the event industry, I am happy to organize a premium, compact PA and lighting setup tailored perfectly to your celebration.
Which regions do you cover as a wedding DJ?
Which regions do you cover as a wedding DJ?
While my headquarters are in Cologne, my primary radius covers all of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) and the Rhineland. I regularly play in the big city hubs like Cologne, Düsseldorf, Bonn, Dortmund, and Essen. I also travel frequently to Aachen, the Rhein-Erft-Kreis, and the surrounding countryside. As a flexible event professional, I travel easily to wherever your venue is located.
