The industrial location "Seifenfabrik" in the event location check
As an event DJ, I spend countless hours thoroughly inspecting event venues. Every room and every dance floor can make the difference between a pleasant evening and an unforgettable party. For years, Dr. Thompson's soap factory in Düsseldorf has been one of the most impressive event venues in the Rhine metropolis for me.
Event location with a casual industrial flair
The hall of this historic event location has a monumental feel to it: 15-metre-high ceilings, large glass and window areas, steel and brick. All this creates a sense of space that makes events special right from the start. The fireplace in the centre is not just decoration, but also the heart and eye-catcher of the room, around which guests like to gather. The casual industrial flair of the Seifenfabrik Düsseldorf has inspired me immediately and continuously since my first DJ gig there a few years ago.
The outdoor terrace with water features all around offers additional event options. When the weather is nice, I have DJed there at summer receptions and created a relaxed chill-out vibe.
Soap factory in Düsseldorf for corporate events and Christmas parties
With space for up to 700 people, the event location is ideal for large corporate events, galas and, of course, Christmas parties.
As a DJ, I have already had the opportunity to perform at the Seifenfabrik for several media and advertising agencies, at a corporate event for a major television station, and at several weddings. As a result, I am now quite familiar with this event location in Düsseldorf and am always delighted when I receive a request to perform at the Seifenfabrik again.
What's more, the team at the soap factory – from event planning to catering – are absolute professionals, yet always relaxed, flexible and really friendly. The fact that the team is experienced and thinks constructively saves me from unpleasant surprises that I have had to deal with at other venues.
Adjoining room with club atmosphere for unforgettable parties
What always excites me most as an event DJ? The transition from the main room to the adjoining room with its perfect club atmosphere. As soon as the doors open and the guests enter the adjoining room, the mood changes noticeably. An elegant reception turns into an exuberant party. Because here, it immediately becomes clear to everyone: now it's time to party until dawn!
With the help of a good audio system, I've already thrown some unforgettable parties here. The bar is also right next to the dance floor – a real plus, because partygoers don't have to leave the room to get a drink, and the party atmosphere stays lively throughout. For me, the room layout is one of the Seifenfabrik's greatest strengths, because it allows events to be structured dramatically and controlled musically in a targeted manner.
There is also a stage in the main room, which is perfect for DJ plus live act combos. The main room can be set up so that guests do not feel lost in the space, even if maximum capacity is not reached.
