Testimonials

“I’ve had the Aquarium in my front office 3 months and have never had more compliments about a single item – Starbucks coffee included! All ages from 2-92 seem to truly enjoy the tank!”

Dr. Pete Hehli – Northstar Dental

“Tad, Just wanted to write you a quick note to let you know how very pleased we are with the aviary and aquarium. They turned out spectacular – a perfect finish for the building. I know this took extra effort and time from your team. The residents in Waterford are very fortunate to have these two pieces in their new home. Thank you for your time and patience, it is much appreciated. Please pass along my compliments to your group, the custom finish is a better option for our clients.”

“Fox Valley Surgical Associates is a busy 9 surgeon clinic whose waiting room will host up to 80 patients per day. With the chaotic nature of the business, not the least of which is physicians running behind, we had wondered if we could relieve anxiety and entertain the patients during their wait. Cable TV and magazines just didn’t do it. We placed our aviary about 2 years ago and since then we have had nothing but positive comments. The birds have vivid colors, are always active, and when the babies hatch there is standing room only around the aviary! The activity is constant and young and old enjoy it. The upkeep is minimal and the service has been excellent. We would recommend this to any organization with a waiting room. A truly positive addition!”

Thomas Winek, President – Fox Valley Surgical Associates

“We have both an aviary and fish tank at our national headquarters in Neenah, WI. The aviary is located in the main lobby and the fish tank outside the auditorium. We receive positive comments on both setups regarding the cabinets and how clean and neat they are. Both are attractions and people like looking at the birds and the exotic freshwater fish.”

“We just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the services that Sabrina Brown provided to our 4 bird aviaries this week. She outdid herself with “refreshing” our aviaries!  The residents, visitors and staff have been making numerous comments on how beautiful they are now. During her visit, Sabrina was extremely helpful in answering all our questions. She was patient, professional and showed that she really cared for the birds. After she left, she followed up with me and provided even more information! We could not be happier with this transition and are looking forward to future visits!”

“I just wanted to tell you again how much our residents are enjoying the aviaries. Serenity is providing a wonderful service. As you remember, not only did you build us a custom aviary to match our interior décor [see right], but Serenity took over our two existing aviaries and installed your side mounted feed and water dispensers on those as well. What a relief for our staff! They no longer need to go into the aviaries to care for the birds. Wonderful! Thanks again… You and your associates run a first class operation.”

“Our residents love our fish tank! There is never an empty chair that is close to the fish. We love to watch the activity and the bright colors. It is very calming and enjoyable for our residents. Our guests of all ages love it, too!”

Heidi Fristo, Director – Bickford of West Des Moines

“Serenity Aquarium has been great to work with! They’ve been extremely responsive to any questions or needs we have. Our members absolutely love the aquarium and staff appreciate the limited maintenance required! Thank you!”

“Our aquarium was installed yesterday evening and it is beautiful!!!!! I also wanted to let you know what a great and very professional job that Dustin did installing it. He was so kind and knowledgeable, he answered every question that was asked. He also was so accommodating to the “audience” who gathered around him to watch, he smiled and welcomed everyone to watch. Thank you for sending someone that you can tell really enjoys what he does! We are excited to see our fish grow!”

“The initial concept of a dramatic makeover of our reception area was a bit daunting. But once we got past that hurdle, and you installed the tank, it quickly became the social center of the office. Our neighbors stop in to see it. Our clients enjoy it. We, who work here, really enjoy it. Watching the fish has a calming effect on everybody. We’ve had some casual drop-in traffic as people walking by saw the fish and came in to chat. The fact that the fish are colorful is a real attractant. And we don’t have to worry about salt water because these are fresh-water fish. We’ve had quite a number of “babies” born in the aquarium; it seems like they arrive one at a time. So the number is small, yet there is something about watching “babies” grow in a bigger-fish environment. We often see people, often our own staff, looking for the babies, hiding among the rocks. Showing them to children, who are fascinated with the whole experience. Our aquarium has become a focus of conversation on many occasions.”
