I listed my 35 foot sailboat with Chris Warden of Rubicon Yachts. It was a very difficult decision…read morebecause I owned, sailed and loved my boat for over 23 years. Chris was a thoroughly professional broker and did a great job throughout the process of selling my boat. He did careful research up front to propose a reasonable but favorable asking price. He wrote up a wonderful and accurate description for the Rubicon site and Yacht World. He took care to discover and understand my particular wants and desires about an appropriate buyer for my well loved boat. He kept me informed along the way about interest and showings. He provided good advice when offers came in (2) and managed the negotiations that led to an acceptable sale contract very well. Through the process of survey, dealing with some repair cost issues, and handling paperwork for closing Chris was informative and helpful. Any time I had questions he was always readily available and responsive. I strongly recommend Chris Warden and Rubicon Yachts should you have a boat you wish to sell or buy. Jamie Harris.

If you want the very best in wedding photography, look no further. We were recommended to Maurice…read moreby my now husband's mom, who lives in Georgia, who's friend also in Georgia has a daughter who used to life in SF (still following?), the daughter moved in NY. She flew Maurice to NY to do her photos. No regrets. Okay, so that was the most oddly routed recommendation path I've received for any of my wedding vendors. Back to my experience. We must have interviewed at least five photographers, and reviewed at least ten; both from recommendations of our wedding coordinator, wedding venue, and others. Why did I want to interview Maurice? I liked his edgy style. He wasn't a light & fluffy photographer. His photo style is artistic, emotional, perfect timed, and focused. His photos look like they belong in magazines. His advertising background gives him the professionalism of both capturing people and surroundings. Why did I want to hire Maurice? Maurice graciously met with us in his Alameda studio, not too far from the BART. He had some iTunes playing from his sound system, comfy lounge chairs, and even freshly baked macaroons from a local baker. His personality was awesome. He asked all the right questions. He had no problem with us asking 500 questions. He just seemed like he knew what's up. How was the pre-wedding experience? Incredible. His wife Nina is an organizational guru. My coordinator is also like this. I am also like this. The coordinator and Maurice/Nina never worked together before, but she told me multiple times, she loved the duo. They'd send ideas, worksheets, timelines, etc. They're flexible and accommodating. They're nuts & bolts but very detailed. They track everything you give them. They listen to you. You feel comfortable knowing that they're on top of everything you're telling them. They don't go days leaving you hanging if you email them, either. How was the wedding experience? Maurice is a machine. He came onsite about noon and didn't leave until after the wedding was over at 10pm. You'd see him on ladders, taking shots from afar, from near, everywhere. He loved it. His assistant (who's also a professional photographer) was great. They even dressed in the wedding theme colors. They were snapping all day and all night. I had to convince him to go eat dinner. I don't know how the guys were so friendly and so on-point for so many hours. Everyone commented how amazing they are. He was so FUN to work with. He didn't exhaust you and you could tell he is so passionate for what he does and you're his main objective. How was the post-wedding experience? Also awesome. In just a few days he made a blog of his favorite photos. In just a few weeks, he had the whole collection online to view. In just a few weeks after that, he had proofs of albums to review. We made a few changes. He's so creative. He even remembers design elements from our wedding to incorporate in the album. For example, my husband made custom cornhole boards and Maurice remembered the design. We tracked down the Esty seller who gave us an image of the decal which Maurice put on the back of the photo album. A few weeks after finalizing, our photo album arrived, as a high-quality book, in an eloquent box, accompanied by a thank you card. Anything else? Maurice also submitted our photos for magazines. I can't wait to see what happens with that. Incredible, photos, quality, customer service and enthusiasm. Really, you can't go wrong.

I debated over writing this review. Our wedding was this past Saturday, and Maurice cancelled on…read moreus less than three weeks from our wedding. There is no doubt that Maurice takes beautiful pictures. His assistant, Nina, is also very friendly and responsive. Unfortunately, after signing the contract and paying the amount in full (and cash), he reneged on his contract. His reason? Nina accidentally booked us for October 2011, not October 2010. This was suspicious, as we received several emails from Nina with additional details about our upcoming wedding a few weeks away. I've had nothing but great experiences with Nina (we actually first reached out to them over a year and a half ago when we started planning, then again a few months ago when we finally decided to set a date). I don't believe that there was a mix up in dates. Since we had a smaller ceremony/reception and paid in full, Maurice was able to give us a considerable discount on his package. I fully believe that another bigger, pricier client came along and was too good for Maurice to pass up. I don't doubt Maurice's talent. However, I am most disappointed that having a signed agreement and paying the total cost up front wasn't enough to confirm him for our wedding. It's either poor organization or poor business ethic, and that is the last thing that any bride would want to worry about. I am giving Maurice two stars because he quickly refunded our money and offered a complimentary session. Maybe in time I'll feel differently, but I think I'd just be scowling in any pictures he shot of me! In the end, we fortunately found a FANTASTIC photographer (Charles Le Photography), and I truly think this cancellation was a blessing in disguise.

I called Signature Mobile Notary at around 12:50 pm on Halloween to see if there happened to be…read moresame-day availability for one signature. I wasn't really expecting much because, in general, it's unrealistic to assume you can get same-day service, especially if someone travels to various appointments. Fortunately, when I called and gave my address, Simarjit happened to be near the area and was able to fit me into his schedule. He got to my place in less than 20 minutes. Simarjit was friendly, conscientious, and considerate (even asking if he needed to take his shoes off). The whole process was quick, maybe 15-20 minutes. The total cost for one signature was $80, and he did accept credit card. My guess is that the price varies based on where you're located and how many signatures you need notarized. Overall, I had a great experience, so if I ever need to get anything notarized again, I would definitely use Simarjit again. Note: Dont expect that he'll come within 20 minutes because I just got extremely lucky.
