What you look for in a bus company is to safely and efficiently get passengers from Point A to…read morePoint B. Umbrella Bus barely got our passengers from Point A to Point B, did not do so efficiently, and arguably didn't do it terribly safely. We booked Umbrella for a 54-passenger shuttle to transport wedding guests from our wedding hotel to our ceremony venue, and then from the ceremony venue to the reception venue ($1050 total). I confirmed this itinerary with their staff by email and phone several times (at least three), because they kept sending me invoices that only showed a partial itinerary, but they assured me that they had the correct itinerary written down and would read off the correct itinerary on the phone when I called. On the first trip, the bus driver got the bottom of the bus stuck on a steep hill, rendering it unable to move. Guests had to walk nearly a quarter mile from where the bus got stuck to the ceremony site. The bus was also blocking the entrance to the park where the ceremony was held, meaning that park visitors and several wedding guests who were behind it were severely delayed in getting into the park. We had a couple of guests who missed some of the wedding ceremony because the bus blocked the entrance for so long. It would've been 3.5 stars if only for this, since it wasn't 100% the driver's fault, though he should really have known what the buses he drives are able to handle. On the second trip, though, despite me confirming the destinations in the itinerary with Umbrella MULTIPLE TIMES, the driver had somehow been given the wrong destination by their dispatch, and took guests back to the hotel instead of to the wedding reception venue. My family members had to argue with the driver, who insisted that he'd been told to take everyone back to the hotel, and "I'm only doing two trips, how will people get back to the hotel?" but he eventually relented and took everyone to the reception instead, but meant that most of the guests were delayed by quite a bit in getting to the reception. This definitely wasn't the driver's fault though, and was clearly the fault of the company/dispatch. He did eventually take the guests where they needed to go, which we appreciate.

Turns out there's a parking garage a block away and there was lots of street parking within a block or two. I paid $8 for 2 hours. The place itself is Bohemian quaint, the backroom where the event was had good coffee and giant, tasty croissants, matcha muffins and similar. Nothing from Costco here. The location is horrific though due to the amount of open drug use happening. I drew the line when I literally walked out the front door and there was a man sitting on the ground in squalor lighting the bottom of a glass pipe with a lighter and smoking. A few feet away was another man on the ground. I will never return to this location ever. I was going to walk to Dandelion but decided to hightail it out as I encountered VERY sketchy people transporting themselves on desk chairs because they were too high to walk, and others smoking drugs (not from a pipe), and flowing in my walkway (held my breath many times). I really thought SF had cleaned up more than this, was truly disappointed, and this is coming from a downtown L.A. girl before downtown L.A. was cool.

In less than two hours Armada had the pond drained and treated! Treated because like I suspected it was filled with mosquitoes... Yuck. To top it off it didn't cost me an arm and a leg to get this done! I should had called them weeks ago to get it done but I procrastinated. Thank you Armada!

She dropped what she as doing and spent time sketching out some ideas for how to mount the ring in silver. We settled on a dessign (I wanted a more masculine forefinger ring) and within a week she had a full sized wax model that I could try on and suggest any modifcations ... the model looked great as is! A few days later the ring was finished. It looked awesome and was exactly what I hoped for! I can't say enough about CG Designs.!
