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. More...

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! More...

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! More...

I had Travis as my DJ back in August. He did a phenomenal job. I received so many compliments on the music and sound. He kept our guests on the dance floor. He was accommodating to our music choices. He helped us outline the night from speeches to first dance. He also helped excused tables for the buffet. I'd reccomend Travis to everyone. More...

Travis was the DJ for our reception and went above and beyond what I could have even imagined. He was organized (despite my lack of organization), listened to our preferences, and read the crowd so well. He kept our guests dancing all night and multiple people commented he was the best DJ they had heard! I agree! More...

We hired Sound Mindset for our wedding last month and I can't express how phenomenal our experience was. Travis is incredibly talented and so many guest commented on how great he was. He is prompt, professional, and takes the time to get to know the couple and their music preferences. We truly feel that our wedding wouldn't have been the same without him! More...

I was part of planning and putting on a regional conference at the UW-Madison and had Travis from Sound Mindset Productions DJ on our last nights' entertainment, which I was in charge of organizing. I had seen him in his element at a friend's 50th birthday party, and thought he did a great job mixing older and newer hits and really seamlessly blending them together and adding his own touches, so I didn't even contact anyone else before seeing if he was free. Everyone who stayed for the dance party had a great time, and the feedback from my colleagues was 100% positive! Also he was a pleasure to work with, dealing with the hassle of working with the university and trusting all would work out in the end, and he also was very responsive to guest requests and made sure everyone had a great time. Overall I would highly recommend Travis and Sound Mindset Productions! More...

Travis from Sound Mindset productions is amazing. We were lucky enough to have him do our maternity photos which was a first for him and us. Our photos are exactly what we wanted and more. He was nice, professional, respectful of my condition, and made the whole experience wonderful and fun. I will he recommending them to all my friends. Thank you again. More...

I have worked with Travis Ziegler on a number of musical projects. I've found him to be organized, professional, polite, fun, punctual, creative and unique. He tends to have a clear vision of what he wants from a project, and is willing to do what it takes to achieve that vision.

As a result, he is one of my all-time favorite musicians to work with.

When I need professional photography (or a DJ, or to do some recording), I know who I'll be hiring: definitely Sound Mindset.

I own Spirit and Style Events and I work with a variety of DJs for my wedding and corporate event planning so I know it when I see a good DJ. I worked with Travis yesterday and was very happy to see his professionalism and work ethic. He was easy to work with, had a smile on his face all night and kept the dance floor moving. I like that when you book sound mindset, you know who you're getting - unlike a few other companies who don't tell you until later. I would highly recommend Travis- you will not be disappointed!

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! More...

Travis was an amazing DJ for our wedding reception! We loved the songs he chose based on some basic preferences and playlist info we shared with him. He kept the party going and our guests (and us) were on the dance floor all night! Multiple guests (of a variety of ages) pulled me aside throughout the night and commented that this was the best DJ they had experienced at a reception! I completely agree! More...

Travis was amazing!!! From our initial meeting through the end of our reception everything went off without a hitch. He did a really great job of listening to our likes and dislikes and getting a general feel for how we wanted our reception to go. And beyond just listening, he sure did deliver. He worked well with our coordinator to make sure any necessary announcements were made but he was not overly present on the mic (which we are grateful for). The music spoke for itself, people were on the floor all night. He also snagged a few amazing pictures for us. Travis, thank you for being and incredible piece of such a special day for us!!!

Where do we even begin? We found Travis and Sound Mindset from a simple Google search and ended up meeting with him because of all of his good reviews. They are all true - Travis does not disappoint! He is the most chill guy and was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish for our wedding. He was great in communicating his process, what he needed from us and when, and simply getting to know us and treating us like old friends. We received multiple compliments about him throughout our reception and we couldn't be happier with how things went. You can tell how much he enjoys his job and that radiates throughout the room. He got everyone involved and transitioned the night so well - it couldn't have gone better and we are so grateful. Thank you, Travis! He truly is the best!! More...

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. More...

Travis was amazing! First of all, he was very professional and personable. We really enjoyed meeting him and talking with him. He helped us tremendously with the flow of the reception, which was great because we apparently we didn't consider a whole bunch of important things that he pointed out to us! Second of all, he really kept the party going! I have never been to a wedding with so much energy. For a wedding of 150 people (pretty medium sized wedding), the dance floor was packed the entire time. I've seen much bigger weddings that didn't look as good as that. I highly recommend him for your wedding! More...

Travis was 100% the best DJ we've ever seen and I could not be happier that we chose him for our wedding. My husband and I both have unique music tastes that I think he captured completely, while also playing music that pleased the crowd as a whole. Travis also took requests from the crowd but made me SO pleased when he refused to play a song requested that was on my "do not play" list. The entire night I was hearing compliments on how fantastic he was. I could go on and on, but I'll keep it simple -- you will not regret working with Travis. He'll be everything you ever wanted and more. More...
