Promises and Pearls 2010 - Recap

It's almost that time of the year... but let's recap on 2010! 

Promises and Pearls was created by Michelle Barrionuevo-Mazzini, owner of MB Wedding Design and Events and yours truly, Beverly Yip in 2007. Our boutique style soiree is a one of a kind event that allows couples to find wedding resources in a low-key, yet swanky environment. Designed to focus on brides and grooms who know what they want and don’t want to endlessly shop around, only one or two vendors per category are invited each year to participate. We pride ourselves in showcasing only the finest event professionals in each category. 

Each professional is hand-picked by Michelle and Beverly and participation is by invitation only. 

In 2010, Promises and Pearls was held at the Beautiful, Bently Reserve.

Bev Personal: I {love} Cameron House

I don't share my personal life on the web often. Mainly because I try to protect my privacy and my whereabouts. I'm the person who will post my travels after I've visited the country, or "Check In" at a restaurants a few days later. Anyway, I'd love to tell you about a very special place, near and dear to my heart. It's Cameron House.

Cameron House is a Chinatown-based multi-service agency serving Asian communities in the San Francisco Bay Area. Motivated by our Christian commitment to promote healthy communities, we have served individuals, immigrant families and youth since 1874.


To me, Cameron House is my 2nd home. A place where I grew up doing my homework after school, a place where I learned American traditions and values, and most importantly, a place where I practiced to serve the Lord, and do good unto others. 


Every year, we honor those individuals who have contributed to the Community in one way or the other. This year, at the 10th Annual Soul & Elegance Gala held on February 18, 2012, I will be among 4 others who will be receiving the "Donaldina Cameron House - Excellence in Community Service" award. I am extremely humbled and hope that you'l join me at this amazing fundraiser this year.

Date: February 18, 2012, Saturday evening. 

Time: 5:30PM -11PM

Location: South San Francisco Conference Center
