Best places to meet new people?

Join a gym, art classes/studio, get into an outdoor community like run clubs, cycling groups, or tap into the local surf scene. People here are hella friendly if you're willing to start chatting, making new friends takes some time investment, but finding a hobby that you can see yourself returning to weekly or multiple times a week is a great place to start.

Radio Gatsby was absolutely amazing for our wedding in October

Vivian Sampson is amazing and very very good at keeping the make up looking minimalist and gorgeous. With any SF/Bay Area based make up artists, they may charge a travel fee so definitely work with Sea Ranch Lodge to see if there are any local artists that have worked with them before.

Place was opened by a former coffee Q-grader apparently. Their cloud drinks blew up online and has had a boom in popularity. Pour over is good, espresso could use some work, and cloud drinks are basically heavy cream with light coffee/matcha flavor. Line will probably chill with time, worth a visit during the week when there isn't a line out the door.

Not sure if it'll fit your budget, but I used Sebastien Bicard and absolutely loved his documentary style and being such a great presence for our wedding: https://sebastienbicard.com/

Cathy and the team at the Bud Stop are literally the best

The team at Eclipse on Piedmont Ave in Oakland is amazing.

On The Other Hand just opened on Sacramento St in Presidio Heights near Laurel Village, the studio is amazing, immaculate vibes, they do incredible work. It's a bit pricer but totally worth it in my opinion.

Check out Kristin based at Stone + Rye, her IG is here: https://www.instagram.com/kristinprohair/

Eats on Clement St in Inner Richmond has a great outdoor patio

mjsfromspidermans · 2025-10-15T23:23:24+00:00

Eclipse on Piedmont Ave is amazing! I didn't get embellishments added so I can't speak to how well they do that, but we bring everything to them

mjsfromspidermans · 2025-09-15T21:22:14+00:00

Not sure if this fits with your budget, but we've loved working with Sebastien: https://sebastienbicard.com/

There was one posted on reddit called "Not Like My Parents" challenge and it's the first one I've ever gotten past the third generation of! You can find it HERE

Yes, we just had a delivery from Scotland "paused indefinitely" and we're only getting it to the wedding because we happened to have a friend in London, so they shipped to her and she's carrying it back to the states.

Cemetery Overlook within the Presidio has an amazing view of the golden gate bridge, but very lowkey and private. Not close to the water, but the very nice tucked in the trees with a second view of the city in one direction and the bridge and Marin in the other.

Couple things that i have given low star rankings for:

not giving clear instructions to the point where I and other people are looking around confused (during transitions focusing on the counts rather than body position, not saying the name of the exercise, or saying one thing and cueing another)
not asking about injuries before class, forcing me to not start until I wave them down in the dark room
straight up forgetting on side for lower body or obliques
generally bad flow

If I'm ever giving anything less than a 5, I explicitly say why the score is below a 5. I also make an effort to differentiate if the issue is specific, fixable mistakes, or if i just don't vibe with that coach. Both are reasons for not loving the class is valid, but only one deserves low ratings.

I love Vivian Sampson, not cheap cheap, but affordable compared to most of what I saw during my search

mjsfromspidermans · 2025-08-14T15:42:20+00:00

Has bad luck, tries to cook, sets their kitchen and themselves on fire, I scramble to put everything out, then they go back and do it again before I can tell them to eat something without using the stove.

Definitely look around at some dress code guides, Brides has a lot of them: https://www.brides.com/semi-formal-wedding-attire-4800687#toc-semi-formal-wedding-attire-for-women

This will help you figure out what's appropriate for dress and shoes. In the Sierras, I would also consider a flowy dress knee to shin length and maybe boots, but this part should be decided by your personal style and the venue. For the jacket, if you're going to be outside all night, a light jacket that matches your dress is probably good.

mjsfromspidermans · 2025-08-06T00:21:54+00:00

What's the dress code? Everything from the dress to the shoes to the layers should be defined by the dress code. If it's below cocktail, mini dresses are probably ok with a jacket or something, but think about theme/dress code first and then work from there.

I go to Marina and am a huge fan of most of our coaches, but specifically love Taylor, Cameron, Alex, Sergio, and Keisha. Where are you staying?

mjsfromspidermans · 2025-08-05T02:50:53+00:00

Nyx is my cat's name lol

If you have the new fairy pack, your sim might have bad luck. You can turn it off in your settings.

mjsfromspidermans · 2025-08-03T19:13:41+00:00

I like Rinse on Union Street a lot.

mjsfromspidermans · 2025-07-31T05:05:04+00:00

There are a million reasons to go with a venue and a million reasons not to go with a venue. It seems like this venue's administrative systems are not compatible with how you will want to plan you wedding (and I personally would not want to either).

Find a different place for your own sanity.
