They do so many well organized field trips every week to keep the kids busy. The counselors, coaches, and office staff are kind, helpful and responsive. Our daughter can also be highly sensitive and hard on herself, so we appreciate all the support the staff has given her so she has a fun time. She has done tumbling and trampoline here as well and has come so far in her skills! We highly recommend Gymfinity!

Hostile Staff, High Prices, Poor Customer Service…read more Holy cow! The audacity of this place!! I called to inquire about enrollment, but I said I'd have to think about it because the price is very high. Apparently, the receptionist enrolled us anyway. I received a message that my card was declined (it was on file from 2020 so of course it's expired). I called back to ask why I was charged and the person who answered was hostile! I explained the situation and she simply said "well you weren't charged, it was declined".. yes, because you charged a card that you have on file from 2020 without my authorization. I was still thinking about enrollment because the cost is significant. We decided to go somewhere else. Then she said "best of luck at another place" then hung up before I could say anything else. She hung up so aggressively that the person next to me heard the click. I haven't been treated this badly in some time, especially with regard to activities for my children!! The unfortunate thing is, we likely would have come this way in the future if my kids ended up liking the trial at the other place. Not anymore!

About a month ago my teen daughter, her dad and I attended a wonderful wedding in Milwaukee. It was…read morecreative and the food was fabulous and the entire thing seemed to perfectly reflect the aesthetic of the very joyful bride and groom! But I'm review the owners of this company for going a very SPECIAL EXTRA MILE and helping in an area they certainly did not have to. Towards the end of the event, when clearly the Done By Storm planners had been working their butts off (!) to make everything perfect, my daughter (who is a serious photographer) got knocked by a happy dancing person, dropped her camera and discovered the lens cover was broken and STUCK onto the camera lens. This is a nightmare situation for any photographer who values their camera and their work.... We ran off to the side of the venue and tried everything possible to separate the broken lens cover from the camera, while trying not to get tiny shards of glass in our hands. Several people tried to help but to no avail. Finally my daughter approached the two Done by Storm owners who were talking, and asked if they might have a tool to help. The gentleman RAN to get his toolbox, returned and began working on the problem. It was quite challenging, as he didn't want to cause any more damage on a delicate instrument, plus it was still a loud party all around. He kept at it for awhile, even though we told him we didn't want to take his time away from his other duties. But he kept trying and trying. And he got it off!!!! My daughter was so grateful she asked if she might give him a hug, and did. We were all so grateful and had no way to really to thank him for his kindness, his empathy and his incredible professionalism. The night would have been ruined for us had he not been so ready to assist. All I can say is that if this pair of lovely people were that attentive to the happiness of one of many guests, I can only imagine the attention they offer to their clients! I'm already married (or I'd hire them!). We are from out of state and will always remember the extra effort these people put in that evening. Thanks to Done By Storm from the Kahn family.

We hired Mandy from Done by Storm as a day of coordinator for our wedding and we could not have…read morebeen happier with the service she and her assistants provided! They were able to assist our very young flower girl/ attendants when they ALMOST had a melt down right before they walked down the aisle, used their emergency kit to help with a handful of last minute needs, kept the schedule on track, and worked as an amazing contact for all of our other vendors so I had very few questions that I needed to answer allowing me to enjoy the day we worked so hard on! Mandy went above and beyond leading up to the wedding to assist with the final timeline and details. She was hired as a day of coordinator but she truly cares about her clients. With COVID, I had cold feet about the event itself and nearly postponed about 2 months before the wedding. She saw a post I made in a wedding group on Facebook looking for advice and she reached out directly to be a sounding board to help me sort through the craziness.

Brooke Marie photography is, quite possibly, the least professional outfit with whom I have ever…read moreworked. To begin, when we signed our contract, I mentioned we'd be getting ready beginning at noon on our wedding day. Brooke Krall, our photographer, assured me she would be there to take pictures at the spa, and then to cover the rest of the day. The night before our wedding, I received a voicemail from her saying that since she hadn't heard from me, she'd be there around 4 (our scheduled ceremony time). Apparently, she had sent me an email to the wrong address, and, when it bounced back, her business partner, Jenna, read the non-deliverable status and didn't tell Brooke. Brooke ended up arriving an hour or so after we began getting ready. During the photo sessions, she placed me in direct sunlight for my bridal portraits. Though I explained that I'm light sensitive (it makes me sneeze relentlessly), she kept snapping. They turned out to be the worst pictures ever (though kind of awkwardly amusing). Additionally, our signed contract stated we'd have our pictures in 4-6 weeks. At 6 weeks, I contacted her. She explained that it was an 'oversight' in our signed contract and because she was busy we'd have them at 8 weeks. She never mentioned that she needed more time; rather, she assumed we would understand. At 8 weeks and two days, we contacted her again. She said they were posted on Pictage. They weren't. When we finally received our edited pictures a few days later, there were only a handful from the last half of the day, though there were multiple like pictures from our prepping and our ceremony. Brooke didn't necessarily edit the best shots or the most interesting shots, but she seemed to pick random pieces and parts from the first half of the day in order to get them to us more quickly since we'd complained. She did apologize for the wait and said she'd edited over 200 pics, as opposed to the 150 for which we'd contacted. However, in truth, she edited around 156 originals, and the 'extra 50' were turning the same picture to b/w or sepia, which I could easily do on my own. Finally, she told us on our wedding day that we would have a *teaser* on her blog/website or Facebook page within a week or two. This didn't happen at all. Every time my husband and I interacted with her, she sounded condescending and bothered. She'd say things like, "I know it's really hard to wait when you're excited to see wedding pictures." No- it's really hard to wait when your photographer tells you 4-6 weeks, and then breaches contract. Had any of this been handled professionally, or had we been contacted to discuss pushing back our pictures, I would not have had an issue. However, the only time we spoke was when we contacted her specifically to ask questions. It saddens me to give such a negative review, however working with Brooke Marie was a negative experience. ********** Update: After reading Brooke's response to my review, I would like to clarify a few points. First, when we originally met, I had expressed concern about the time frame having salon pictures would add on to the contracted hours. Brooke said it wasn't a problem, that she would stay as long as she was needed, and that I would regret not taking salon pictures later. So we did agree to start by taking pictures at the salon, though for some reason she now claims otherwise. I told her specifically that we would likely start around noon, though I had yet to confirm the appointments. Second, I received no phone calls from Brooke in the week leading up to the wedding regarding the timing of pictures. I was never contacted for an itinerary or for any other purpose; it is telling that she feels the need to lie about this now to save face. As noted in my original review, she later told me that her business partner had sent me something via email, but it had gotten kicked back. I found out that she was planning on arriving just in time for the ceremony the night of our rehearsal dinner. Apparently, she had told this to my sister a few days before the ceremony, though she never communicated it to me. As I was distracted by wedding preparation at that time, I did ask my sister to give Brooke a call to clarify the timing of pictures, and she agreed to come to the salon, as we had confirmed at our first meeting. FInally, after we received our pictures, I declined to interact with her anymore, as our experiences had been so unfortunate. I wanted nothing more to do with her or her business. She did offer us a Pictage credit, but that was only after multiple phone calls, emails, and promises that our pictures would be done when they weren't. The bottom line is that our contract was breached, communication was nonexistent, and our voiced concerns were consistently met with placation and condescension. I stand by my original review.

Jen is an amazing photographer.  She has the ability to capture the most stunning pictures…read more I found Jen by browsing for photographers online, she only had 2 reviews on yelp but her portfolio was so impressive and her laid back style was exactly what I was looking for. I live in Chicago, but wanted our photos done in Madison. Strictly communicating by email we were able to set up a photo shoot that very week. I thought there was no way we would get a great picture, we have three small children (and a dog!) that are not the easiest to photograph, but she managed to get them in these amazing shots, capturing everyones personalities. She was patient and calm, Jen made it all look and feel so easy. I would highly recommend Jen to anyone.  She is truly a gifted photographer, especially with children. She is extremely creative, flexible, friendly and patient. Our session with her was productive and fun.

In an hour on one peaceful morning, Jen Lucas gave a priceless gift to our family. For years, we…read morelooked for the kind of professional photographer who could really focus her lens on the inside of our daughter's spirit, capturing more than just a smile or eyes on the camera portrait. Our child was immediately drawn to Jen, who is is patient, versatile and not only willing but wanting to collaborate with her young subject. By the time the session was over, my child wanted to be a photographer! Waiting to see those proofs felt like the days before Christmas. Jen produced them with great timeliness and they left us absolutely speechless. Not only is Jen a personable professional in a session setting, she is a serious artist. We're eager to book another session with her.

My husband & I got to sit with her & her mother at dinner (who occasionally assists with the photography), and we enjoyed learning about her business. When we were sitting together, we got to chatting. I ended up explaining that my husband & I hadn't had a first dance because we chose to have a dinner instead of reception. I asked her if she wouldn't mind taking some photos of us when there was a slow song, and she was more than happy to. The great thing about Mandie was that she stayed just a bit longer to make sure she got some photos of us (and some other extras) because the band took a while before playing a slow song. The pictures she took of us turned out really nice. We're very happy. Our friends who got married gifted us with a framed version of our favorite photo for Christmas, and brought along all the photos that Mandie took. I was really impressed. She got some great shots, especially of our friends' handmade knitted veil. I started taking a look at her blog after their wedding and was impressed by the variety and the beautiful pictures. If you're looking for a great photographer in the Madison area (she does travel outside of Madison, FYI, just shoot her an email and ask), I highly recommend Mandie.
