I needed some professional photos for my website (I'm an art teacher), and Travis did an exceptional job (my friends and family were blown away!). He was fun and creative during the shoot, and got me the final edited versions within days. He's also photographed my band and other bands in the area, and his skills with a camera absolutely capture the energy, subtlety, and passion of each moment. I absolutely recommend his work for whatever capacity you require beautiful professional photographs!

A couple acquaintances recommended Sound Mindset to us for our wedding DJ, and I'm very glad they did. Travis was incredible to work with. He did all of the music for our wedding day, including music before and during the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dance music for the reception. We worked with him to have a very defined playlist for the cocktail hour and dinner, and then we gave him more general direction for the reception/dance time.
He nailed all of the music options, including the specific songs we wanted for our first dance, father/daughter dance, etc. Travis also did a lot of organizing on the day of the wedding, which was very helpful for us. He made sure all the people giving toasts were ready to go and checked in with us regularly to make sure we were having a good time.
His emcee work was very professional. Travis was very professional and responds quickly via email. Meeting with him in person was really fun and relaxing; he's very easy to work with. Overall, it was a very good experience working with him, and we'd recommend him to anyone for their wedding.

Travis is a very professional photographer with a great eye for detail and has enormous creative energy! It's that personal touch that had me pick him over two competitors, since I had been a previous client a few years back. He really knows how to get the best out of a photo and the best out of an environment. I can't recommend him highly enough! - Matt B.

Travis was a wonderful choice to DJ our wedding. From the very beginning - Travis's professionalism was evident. With his help, we felt very prepared with our music choices and plan for the way that the reception would proceed. Travis helped the ceremony audio work perfectly, and the reception was no different. He kept us dancing all night and played just the right variety of music to keep everyone happy. We are so happy with our choice to work with him - and would highly recommend him!

Travis is the best. He was the DJ for our wedding and played a large role in making it an amazing night. He does his homework ahead of time and does a great job reading the room. He was also kind enough to being a second set of equipment to our ceremony location and made sure our ceremony went off without an issue. I have already recommended him to a number of our friends with upcoming weddings. I cannot say enough good things about his work!

We had Travis DJ our wedding in May and he was great! He worked with us before hand to get a good idea of our tastes, expectations, and vision for the reception and it really showed. The day of there were no issues with set up, everything looked and sounded great. Travis was really professional, he dressed appropriately (suit to our cocktail attire reception) and was there plenty early. Travis was great at announcing the different events throughout the night.
He had great energy, got everyone excited, and kept things moving at just the right pace. He also had microphones set up for the speeches so people could actually hear them. And once it was time for the dancing, he was good about not interrupting the music. Lastly, he did a great job with the dancing music. Our guests seemed slow to warm up to the dance floor, but Travis eventually found the right type of music to get everyone out and moving. Overall, we were really pleased with the price, professionalism, and everything. Travis made our wedding day special and is also just a great guy. We highly recommend him!

My husband and I first encountered Travis at our friend's wedding a couple years ago, and we knew right away that we had to snag him for ourselves once we got engaged. Travis is an attentive listener, super friendly, and has a great eye (ear?) for detail. He was both our DJ and master of ceremonies, and he absolutely rocked both positions. He was charismatic, but didn't demand too much attention.
He checked with us not once, but twice to make sure he had the correct pronunciation of the wedding party members' names. He kept the schedule running smoothly, and once the party started, he knew how to read the crowd and keep it going strong. We had guests in a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and tastes, and he had something for everyone. He played a fantastic blend of our favorites, crowd pleasers, high energy tracks, slow jams, and throwbacks that had us dancing all night.
We had several people tell us this was the best wedding party they had ever attended. Now, my husband and I might be a bit biased, but we're inclined to agree. Travis played a huge part in making it all happen.

We worked with Travis at Sound Mindset for DJ services at our wedding in September of 2015. We both knew after our first meeting with him, that we wanted Travis to be a part of weeding. Throughout the planning process he was very helpful and communicative, while making great suggestions of everything from music to logistics and timing. The night of the wedding was exactly what we hoped for. Travis had our dance floor rocking all night, despite having to work with my very strict "do not play" list. We would recommend Travis and Sound Mindset to anyone looking for a DJ, you will not be disappointed.

We hired Travis as our wedding DJ and He was a huge hit with all the guest and family. They all commented on how pleasant he was and always had a smile. It was a pleasant experience for us as well from the initial appointments to the very end. Travis was so easy to work with and very organized he was accommodating as we made last minute changes to plans.
He helped us with Ceremony, and reception music. We had our wedding in the Park and the audio was good through out the whole day. Travis consistently played the right music for the moment and set the tone we wanted for our day. He made sure all the kids felt involved and played songs that got them all dancing and playing. we had a lot of Kid as we have lots of nieces & nephews we included in the wedding. we could not have been happier with Travis as our DJ and would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a great wedding or special event.

Where to begin? Travis was awesome! From the first time my now husband, and I met Travis it was like working with a friend! He was so professional, funny, and kind. He truly "got us" and what we wanted our wedding reception to be about. His planning tools and phone conversations before the big day really helped make everything go seamlessly and showed his attention to detail and passion for what he does. Travis excelled at his role of Master of Ceremonies.
He truly helped keep the grand entrance, cake cutting, first dance and family dances on track and made the night flow smoothly. My husband and I have so many special songs and they were all worked into the reception flawlessly. Our reception was a blast and I have gotten numerous compliments from people saying that Travis was the best DJ of any wedding they have attended.
At the end of the night everyone was dancing and no one wanted to leave. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience! We are so happy that we chose Travis and Sound Mindset LLC to be a part of our day and wouldn't change anything. Thanks so much, Travis!

Travis did a wonderful job at our wedding reception! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. He was spot on with the type of music we wanted. He had just the right amount of crowd interaction. We enjoyed meeting with him and discussing what we expected at the reception. He is a very personable, laid back, all around good guy. He really supports you and what you want to do, and not what everyone else does. I would recommend him to anyone!

I have been taking lessons with him for almost one year now and can really tell my guitar playing skills have improved a lot. He always tries to make lessons fun as well as challenging, during the past months i have learned new chords, scales, strumming patterns and a few great songs. Travis is very patient and always willing to help me learn how to play the music i am interested in (trust me, if he doesn't know the song or the music style he'll do the research!!). I highly recommend Travis Ziegler for both beginners and advanced guitar players.
